Fox News’ The Five Clashes Over Trump Going After Christine Ford: ‘That Was Not Mocking’

The hosts of Fox News’ The Five clashed over whether President Donald Trump was mocking Christine Blasey Ford last night at his rally.

Trump mockingly commented on her testimony, saying, “I had one beer!… How did you get home? I don’t remember. How did you get there? I don’t remember. Where is the place? I don’t remember. How many years ago was it? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know!”

Greg Gutfeld said Trump wasn’t mocking her:

“The media is saying that Trump’s comments about Ford were a mockery or an attack are the same media who thought Matt Damon’s ridicule of Kavanaugh was sparkling and brilliant and daring. And yet they find that Trump said something yesterday and they called it mockery or an attack when all he did was point out a discrepancy. What Trump did, if that was an attack to you, then you really do live in a bubble. Because if you go home or go to a bar or you talk to somebody at the gym, what Trump said is exactly the opinions of everybody at home going ‘Some of her stuff has holes in it.'”

Juan Williams pointed out it’s not just the media but Republican senators saying these comments were either bad or unhelpful.

Dana Perino said the tone Trump struck wasn’t ideal, especially in a strategic sense where there are pivotal Senate votes on the Kavanaugh nomination who may be turned off by this.

Jesse Watters argued, “That was not Mocking Trump. We’ve all seen Trump mocking. That was very light mocking, if anything.”

Gutfeld and Williams got into it over whether Trump was “attacking” Ford, with Gutfeld knocking the media coverage and Williams saying Trump is trying to “play to you, Greg, and your ilk.”
