Democrats during the 2020 presidential campaign had a good confederate at Fox News in Sunday Morning host 73-year-old Chris Wallace. Wallace pretends he’s “fair and balanced” but, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief of Allergy and Infectious Disease at the National Institutes of Health, was Democat operative committed to defeating former President Donald Trump. Wallace now tells Trump-hating CBS TV Late Show host Stephan Colbert that he won’t let Republican lawmakers on his Sunday morning show. “I have purposely not had them on, frankly, because I don’t want to hear their crap,” Wallace told Colbert, the most fiercely anti-Trump entertainer, only equaled in his hatred of Trump to ABC’s late night host Jimmy Kimmel. Both Colbert and Kimmel spent the better part of two years bashing everything Trump, making no bones about their unending hatred toward Trump.
What’s different about Chris Wallace is that he works for Fox News, the last and only conservative network, so reviled by the mainstream press that few liberals dare to watch the content. Wallace didn’t like when Republicans objected to the results of the 2020 presidential election, largely because Trump called it voter fraud, claiming the election was rigged. Wallace couldn’t fathom that fact that Democrats sent out universal mail-in ballots to every registered voter in the country. With Democrats enjoying a clear registration advantage over Republicans, universal mail-in ballots hurt Trump’s chances of reelection. No one knew whether signatures on ballots were every verified by state election officials, with Democrats and journalists like Wallace refusing to consider the possibility that universal mail-in ballots made verifying the election results impossible for state election officials.
When former Chapman University law professor John Eastman prepared his Supreme Court brief for the state of Texas, he said it was impossible to detect fraud because of universal mail-in ballots. “I won’t let them come on without putting them through the wringer,” Wallace told Colbert. Wallace said he pressed Republicans to admit Biden was the “duly elected president of the United States,” Wallace said. Trump refused to concede because he couldn’t accept that on Election Night he was clearly winning the race, but after a news blackout, the vote count had him losing. Most people that follow elections know that when patterns are established they don’t usually change. Yet Trump thought he won the lection when TV networks went dark, only to wind up losing when coverage resumed on Nov. 9. Wallace won’t tolerate anyone questioning voter fraud over the 2020 election.
Whether admitted to or not by Trump or his campaign, Trump lost the election because he couldn’t compete with the media PR machine, including Wallace, that was universally against the former president. Trump’s communication team, led by neophyte Hope Hicks, was no match for Democrats and the media that blamed Trump for the deadly novel coronvirus but, more importantly, the failure of the U.S. economy. When you add to that George Floyd’s May 25, 2020 death, the two factors converged to wreck Trump’s chances of reelection. By the time Election Day rolled around, Trump was blamed for just about everything, certainly Covid-19 and a deteriorated race relations. Whatever cases Trump pressed in U.S. courts, his pleas for justice were rebuffed by just about everyone. Trump’s Republican base splintered with a sizable group of Republicans abandoning the Trump campaign.
Wallace’s antipathy toward Trump was especially egregious because he pretends to be a legitimate newsman. But just like Fauci, Wallace couldn’t control his animosity toward Trump, finding every excuse to join forces with Democrats to fight Trump’s reelection. Trump thought, like with so many other fights in his life, he could seek injunctive relief in the courts. Trump’s lawyers failed to make progress in the courts because whatever fraud took place Nov. 8, it was not detectable So when Trump-hating journalists like Wallace refuse to consider fraud, they don’t bring up the effect of universal mail-in ballots on the vote. Wallace, like other anti-Trump journalists, say there’s no evidence of voter fraud. But like Prof. John Eastman said, universal mail-in ballots made detecting fraud impossible, especially with ballots for which it was impossible to verity signatures.
Wallace, like other Trump-hating journalists, blamed Trump for the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riots, siding with House Democrats who impeached Trump for “incitement of insurrection.” Wallace not once questioned whether the Jan. 6 riot and mob scene was actually an “insurrection” as House Democrats insisted. “As I’m sitting there and watching it live on television and seeing this mob coming to the cathedral of our democracy and sitting in the chair that the president of the senate sits in and running around the rotunda, I was sickened,” Wallace told Colbert, completely blaming Trump for the riot and mob scene. Wallace has no problem using his Fox News show to denigrate Trump or any of his backers in Congress. Wallace, like Colbert, blames Trump for everything wrong with the country, throwing all his backing to President Joe Biden, showing egregious personal bias.
