Fox News Co-Hosts Fawn Over Trump, Beg Him to ‘Talk to Some Women’ Before Debate

 

One day before Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump go head-to-head in their first presidential debate, the co-hosts of Fox’s Outnumbered heaped praise on Trump and his supposed advantages against Harris, but acknowledged that he should maybe “talk to some women” before taking the stage.

Several of the Outnumbered co-hosts touted Trump’s debate skills, with co-host Kayleigh McEnany (a former Trump staffer) saying “Trump had a really good debate performance against [President] Joe Biden — he ended a 50-year political career!”

McEnany also said that while many expected Trump to be caught “off-footed” by some of Harris’s attacks, “he shouldn’t be,” citing several pieces of Republican legislation meant to serve as a contrast to Harris’s “vagueness” on policy.

Co-host Emily Compagno then turned to Harris Faulkner to ask a question about Harris being over-prepared for the debate, but first pointed out that Trump “is confident and comfortable in his own skin” and “has a command of material and experience.” Faulkner responded:

I think it’s a combination of things for former President Trump. It’s that his policies worked and that gives you a boost of confidence going in. So obviously you can argue them, and obviously you’re familiar with them because you’re not trying to run away from them. And so what Kamala Harris now has to do is know the policies that failed and why she didn’t speak up. I mean, that that’s really her job tonight. It’s you say you want to speak up for all Americans, but you couldn’t speak up for yourself with a president who apparently was becoming diminished before our eyes. That would be my first question for her. Maybe not fair, but I would ask it anyway after welcoming her nicely.

Faulkner also thought that even though Compagno said that Trump “has a command of material and experience,” he could use some additional perspective on abortion, a subject on which he has flip-flopped several times throughout his career:

When you talk about abortion and because you brought it up too. On women, Trump needs to come ready. It would be helpful if he maybe talked with a few women going into the debate about maybe who made the choice of an abortion, and they wish they hadn’t. To have that side of the story in his head of, this is about the mother, too, to have it fresh, and get ready, because that’s how Kamala, I would imagine, is going to attack it as a former prosecutor.

Faulkner also acknowledged that Trump “couldn’t answer” the question he got about child care last week.
