‘She’s Not Supposed To Be Running The Country!’ Harris Faulkner Erupts At Report First Lady Is Managing Biden’s Time

Fox News’ Harris Faulkner went ballistic over a report that First Lady Jill Biden is managing the president’s time so he doesn’t overextend himself due to his “physical limitations.”

“A new report says Biden is reluctant to accept his old age,” Faulkner said citing an article by Axios’ Alex Thompson. “Aides say — and excerpt here — ‘President Biden’s reluctance to acknowledge his physical limitations is causing some tension on his team as senior aides and first lady Jill Biden push him to rest more and be vigilant about his health going into 2024.'”

Faulkner added, “So, Alex Thompson also reports that the First Lady has taken on a very active role in trying to get the president to pull back,” then asked Fox News contributor Richard Fowler to weigh in.

“Look, I’m not going to engage in the palace intrigue here, right?” Fowler said.

“Wait a minute — palace intrigue! You don’t believe the people closest to him?” Faulkner interjected as Fowler tried to finish his point.

“Let me be very clear: When I say ‘palace intrigue,’ I’m talking about what the First Lady’s office is doing — ”

“That’s not palace intrigue!” Faulkner exploded. “She’s not supposed to be running the country, so she’s trying to run him!”

Fowler then questioned the validity of the reporting.

“I’ve said this, whether it was Donald Trump in the White House or Joe Biden in the White House. When you have unnamed aides making comments to reporters, for me, I find it to be problematic. If you’re going to say it, put your name on it,” Fowler said.

“Oh, wow, so you want to impugn all journalism. You don’t think we can have the sources, and that their sources aren’t good? And, by the way, when you get north of three sources. Now, remember, how many staff members have been talking all along. That’s a lot to say that you don’t believe their reporting,” Faulkner continued.

Fowler attempted to explain as Faulkner exclaimed, “Richard Fowler! I have never seen ‘what-about-ism’ like you play it!”
