U.S. Attorney General for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced on Thursday that the government is weighing seeking the death penalty for Elias Rodriguez, the man accused of killing Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim earlier this year.
“This begins the statutory process of whether to seek the death penalty,” Pirro said. “This is a weighty decision. It takes time.”
Pirro said Attorney General Pam Bondi will decide whether to seek the death penalty after getting advice from a special unit that reviews such cases.

Lischinsky, 30, and Milgrim, 28, were allegedly shot and killed by Elias outside of an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in May. Lischinsky was a German-Israeli dual citizen and devout evangelical Christian. He immigrated to Israel at 16, served in the Israel Defense Forces, and began working as a political analyst at the embassy in 2022.
He was planning to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/friends-family-react-to-murder-of-israeli-embassy-staffers-by-keffiyeh-wearing-terrorist">propose</a> to Milgrim, who grew up in the Kansas City suburbs and was a full-time employee at the embassy’s Department of Public Diplomacy.
Rodriguez, 31, from Chicago, was detained by police and shouted “Free Palestine,” according to law enforcement and a viral video of him in custody. He allegedly told a police officer near the scene that he “did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza.” He also pre-scheduled his “explication” to be published on his X account, where he advocated for violence against Israelis.
“This Justice Department will not tolerate violence motivated by hatred of faith or national origin, and we will enforce our federal civil rights laws accordingly,” said Harmeet K. Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice.
According to the DOJ, Rodriguez fired approximately 20 shots at Lischinsky and Milgrim.
Pirro unsealed a nine-count indictment against Rodriguez, including two new counts of committing a hate crime and two counts of assault with intent to kill. Rodriguez was previously charged on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/charges-revealed-in-d-c-terror-attack-shooter-did-it-for-palestine-fbi-says">May 22</a> with the murder of a foreign official, firearm offenses, and first-degree murder.
“This office will leave no stone unturned in its effort to bring justice to the innocent victims of Elias Rodriguez,” said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro for the District of Columbia. “The hate charges shed further light on his evil intent in the killing of innocent victims.”

Prosecutors have charged Elias Rodriguez with federal and local counts related to a terror attack in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening.
Rodriguez, 31, allegedly shot and killed Israeli Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and American Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, outside an event for Jewish professionals at the Capital Jewish Museum. The victims were soon to be engaged and were members of the Israeli Embassy staff.
The suspect will face three federal counts: murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. He has also been charged with two counts of first degree murder, according to an FBI affidavit.
Rodriguez admitted to killing the young couple to police, according to the FBI.
“[Rodriguez] spontaneously stated on scene to MPD, ‘I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza, I am unarmed.’ [Rodriguez] was holding a red scarf identified by one witness as a ‘Kaffiyeh.’ As MPD officers were escorting [Rodriguez] from the Museum, he shouted ‘Free Palestine,’” the affidavit says.
Rodriguez walked past the couple and several others before turning around, pulling a gun from his waistband, and shooting Lischinsky and Milgrim in their backs, the affidavit says. Milgrim attempted to crawl away before she was shot several more times.
“Once the decedents fell to the ground, [Rodriguez] is captured on the video advancing closer to the decedents, leaning over with them with his arm extended, and firing several more times. As [Milgrim] attempted to crawl away from [Rodriguez], he followed behind her and fired again. After a brief moment, [Rodriguez] appeared to reload his firearm. At the same time, [Milgrim] sat up. Once he reloaded, [Rodriguez] fired several times at [Milgrim],” the affidavit says.

Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington Jeanine Pirro <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6373255823112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> the shooting as a “horrific crime” and said that more charges against Rodriguez may be coming.
“Violence against anyone based on their religion is an act of cowardice. It is not the act of a hero. It is the kind of case that we will vigorously pursue,” Pirro said at a Thursday press conference. “Antisemitism will not be tolerated, especially in the nation’s capital. We are going to continue to investigate this as a hate crime and a crime of terrorism and we will add additional charges as the evidence warrants.”

President Donald Trump named Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro to fill in as acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on Thursday.
Trump announced Pirro’s new role in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114474584669905764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Truth Social. Pirro will take the place of acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, whose nomination to serve in the role under Trump was withdrawn.
“I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions,” Trump said.
“In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television,” he continued. “Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!”
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-teases-new-great-pick-for-d-c-u-s-attorney-after-withdrawing-ed-martin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> earlier Thursday that he was withdrawing Martin’s nomination for the role after struggling for Republican support in the Senate.
“He is a terrific person,” Trump said in comments from the White House. “He wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought.”
“And he wasn’t rejected, but we felt it would be very – it would be hard. And we have somebody else that we’ll be announcing over the next two days who’s going to be great,” he added. Trump said that he would look at Martin for a possible position elsewhere in the Department of Justice.
Martin’s nomination ran into a snag after he met with GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina on Monday. On Tuesday, Tillis told reporters that he broke with Martin over comments the former nominee made on the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“I have no tolerance for anybody that entered the building on Jan. 6, and that’s probably where most of the friction was,” the Republican senator said.
Tillis said he has recommended that Trump tap SEC Chair Jay Clayton for the role.
“If you take a look at his tenure as SEC … he’s a rock solid, smart guy,” Tillis said. “So all I’ve said was: ‘Look, if we’ve got to find another nominee, I wouldn’t count him out if he would be willing to serve.’”

Fox News&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeanine-pirro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Judge Jeanine Pirro</a>, who previously served as a district attorney in New York, said Friday that sources revealed to her one of the pieces of evidence that were used to lead law enforcement officials to arrest a 28-year-old suspected of killing four college students in Idaho last month.
It had been more than a month since Kaylee GonCalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were murdered in their home on November 13. A SWAT team <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-accused-of-murdering-4-idaho-college-students-is-a-former-school-security-guard-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made the arrest</a> some 2,400 miles from the crime scene in the Pocono Mountains in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
&#8220;[M]y sources are telling me that there is genealogical DNA that was established in this case that led the police to this particular suspect,&#8221; Pirro <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/idaho-murders-sources-tell-judge-jeanine-pirro-genealogical-dna-helped-nab-suspect" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on the network. &#8220;So although that was, according to my sources who are very credible and reliable &#8230; if you try murder cases and especially murder cases that involve several victims, you understand that really the investigation begins now.&#8221;
&#8220;The issue is, what did he say? Who did he hang out with? When he was in school, did he talk about doing this kind of thing as a criminal justice major? He was interested in what the criminal was thinking when a criminal committed a violent crime,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;So there are all kinds of additional evidence that will be gathered at this point going forward.&#8221;
Pirro said that in a case like this, prosecutors will be investigating everything up until their closing statement during the trial. &#8220;And I&#8217;ve done it many times now as it relates to genealogical evidence — they literally can get evidence back to the 1800s,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;And so, they find out who were the relatives. Once they figure out who the suspect is, they then start to continue to investigate, spread out from Idaho to the car to Pennsylvania. And they populate with historical data,&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;So CODIS can give us that 30% solving of cases. But this genealogical DNA can give us a 90% chance of solving these cases. So in addition to what will be unequivocal evidence, they&#8217;re going to have all kinds of circumstantial evidence in addition to that evidence, which we will see when the affidavit is unsealed.&#8221;
Heavy.com <a href="https://heavy.com/news/bryan-kohberger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the suspect, who The Daily Wire is not naming in keeping with a policy to deprive mass killers of the notoriety they often crave, “once worked in part-time security for the Pleasant Valley School District in Pennsylvania.”
“These murders have shaken our community, and no arrest will ever bring back these young students,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-idaho-police-release-details-on-arrest-of-suspect-in-university-of-idaho-quadruple-homicide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a press conference on Friday. “However, we do believe justice will be found through the criminal process.”

Pirro criticized <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/kamala-harris-latest-word-salad-stops-just-short-of-saying-kids-belong-to-the-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harris</a> for claiming that the U.S.-Mexico border was &#8220;secure&#8221; — and repeatedly blaming former President Donald Trump and Republican governors for the ongoing crisis — saying that people could disregard anything she said after that because they could be certain that she was lying.

&#8220;Look, I don&#8217;t know how the woman gets out of bed and faces the world. She is a catastrophe,&#8221; Pirro began, joking that Harris should have skipped NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Late Night With Seth Meyers&#8221; and appeared on &#8220;Gutfeld!&#8221; with host Greg Gutfeld instead.
&#8220;The number one comedy show, which is — what is the name of that show?&#8221; she asked sarcastically as Gutfeld, seated across the table from Pirro, shuffled papers and laughed.
&#8220;Look, you know, maybe when she says the border is secure, maybe you shouldn&#8217;t have to listen to anything after that because you know it&#8217;s a lie,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;So it doesn&#8217;t matter whether that stops someone from hearing the other things she&#8217;s saying because you know right then and there that she&#8217;s lying.&#8221;
&#8220;And then she says, &#8216;I love Joe Biden,’” Pirro continued, pointing out the fact that Harris had effectively labeled Biden a segregationist from the debate stage during the 2020 presidential primary.
&#8220;She said, &#8216;Having been vice president, he knows what the job involves,’” Pirro added, explaining, &#8220;She&#8217;s basically selling herself to you saying because he was vice president, he could be a good president, so I could be a good president, too — but everybody knows Joe&#8217;s a disaster and you&#8217;re a disaster, too!&#8221;
Pirro went on to list a number of the specific issues that Harris — who was appointed to oversee the Biden administration&#8217;s efforts to gain control of the border and manage illegal immigration — had failed to address, such as rampant human and drug trafficking. Instead, Harris <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/absolute-dereliction-of-duty-kamala-pushes-mass-amnesty-blasts-migrant-busing-on-late-night-tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> Governors Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Greg Abbott (R-TX) for transporting migrants to self-proclaimed sanctuary cities, arguing that they were derelict in their duty to take care of migrants who had arrived in their states.

Co-host Judge <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeanine-pirro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeanine Pirro</a> put the topic to Gutfeld first, saying, &#8220;One of the things that the president talked about was — he says if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15, you need something a little more than a gun. First of all, it’s a little tone-deaf given that we were at the one year anniversary of having left Afghanistan and having left F-15s for the Taliban, but what was he talking about?&#8221;
&#8220;With that logic, why are we giving arms or money to Ukraine? Isn’t that useless if you’re against a superior army?&#8221; Gutfeld asked. &#8220;By his logic, we should give up all of our rights, all of our protections, because they&#8217;re no match for government force.

&#8220;He says the craziest stuff,&#8221; Gutfeld added. &#8220;I think what we’re suffering from is old man syndrome. This is when you ascribe certain gentleness to people as they age, like I&#8217;ve noticed that since my hair has gone gray, babies like me, they think I’m harmless&#8230; When you look at inmates, older inmates, you feel bad for them and go, that guy wouldn’t hurt a fly. While 30 years from now he murdered a family, so of course now he’s got salt and pepper hair, he looks like Harold, everything’s okay. That’s the problem with Joe.

&#8220;Yeah, they&#8217;re openly saying it because they don&#8217;t want to lose, because they know he&#8217;s nothing more than an anchor around their neck,&#8221; Pirro replied.
She then turned to cohost and former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN), who had suggested that if Biden truly wanted to turn things around he should listen to the expert economists when he didn&#8217;t like what they said as much as when he did — and work with oil companies rather than against them if he wanted to bring down the cost of gas.
&#8220;You know, I like everything that you say, Harold, but here’s the problem: We have a President of the United States who doesn’t know how to lead, so he doesn’t know how to do all those things that you suggest that he does,&#8221; Pirro continued.
She went on to argue that Biden had surrounded himself with people who were &#8220;lying to us about the economy, about inflation.&#8221;
&#8220;The American people know inflation is at 8.6%. The feds are raising the interest rate. Consumers aren’t as interested as they were in purchasing. And what we&#8217;ve got is one-quarter of negative GDP, and we’re coming to the next quarter. What is Biden’s answer? He’s so clueless, that man, that he segues to electric vehicles,&#8221; Pirro continued. &#8220;They ask him about the recession, and he talks about electric vehicles.&#8221;
&#8220;I don’t know any — I don&#8217;t know any veteran, any senior citizen, I don&#8217;t know anyone working paycheck to paycheck, which is a big piece of this country, who has $60,000 to buy an electric car,&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;He is tone-deaf. Everything he says is not accurate in terms of this economy. And he can’t lie his way to the next election. You just can’t. American people are too smart.&#8221;

Judge Jeanine: The American People Are ‘Too Smart’ For Biden To ‘Lie His Way To The Next Election’

Judge Jeanine Says The American People Won't Fall For It If Biden Lies His Way To 2024

2024 Election

Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro said on Tuesday that actress <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/did-they-all-come-in-and-lie-savannah-guthrie-challenges-amber-heards-claim-that-she-never-started-physical-fights/">Amber Heard</a> could have opened herself up to another defamation lawsuit when she doubled down on claims that her ex-husband, actor Johnny Depp, had abused her.
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/im-the-performer-amber-heard-says-depp-was-performing-in-court-because-he-once-convinced-the-world-he-had-scissors-for-fingers/">Heard</a> repeated the claims several times during a &#8220;TODAY Show&#8221; interview that aired Tuesday morning, telling anchor Savannah Guthrie that she stood by the testimony she had given during the recent defamation trial — and Pirro joined her cohosts on &#8220;The Five&#8221; in reacting to the interview.

The show began with a clip of the interview that showed Guthrie asking Heard whether or not she stood by what she had said on the stand when she accused Depp of abusing her.
&#8220;Of course, till my dying day I will stand by every word in my testimony,&#8221; Heard replied, claiming that the courtroom had been filled with &#8220;Jack Sparrow fans&#8221; and that the tone on social media had influenced the outcome of the trial. &#8220;The jury is not immune to that.&#8221;
&#8220;Congratulations to Savannah Guthrie, that was a great clip from the interview there,&#8221; Geraldo Rivera responded to the clip before turning to Pirro to get her take on the situation.
&#8220;She is reaffirming all of her allegations, aren’t they new causes of action? Couldn’t they be the subject of a new suit?&#8221; he asked.
&#8220;Absolutely, Amber Heard repeating that Johnny Depp beat her, he could sue her again,&#8221; Pirro declared. &#8220;She is, as far as this jury is concerned, lying — and let me say one more thing, the fact that he won was based on her testimony. Everything that she said was used against her in the closing statement of the plaintiff.&#8221;
Pirro went on to explain that it had not been hard evidence that had ultimately convinced the jury that Depp was telling the truth — rather, the jury had listened to both Depp and Heard and had been convinced that she was not telling the truth.
&#8220;It was not so much that there was this circumstantial evidence that he was beating her, no, her own admissions are what incriminated her,&#8221; Pirro said. &#8220;It was everything that came from her mouth, both the credible and the incredible that ended up making her the liar, her the incredible defendant&#8230; And stop speaking for all of battered women, you don’t know battered women, I know battered women, you&#8217;re not one of them.&#8221;
Pirro, who has a long history of working with battered women herself, said from the beginning that she <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/you-do-not-represent-women-judge-jeanine-reads-amber-heard-the-riot-act-after-jury-sides-with-depp/">believed Heard was lying</a> about being the victim of abuse.

Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro read actress Amber Heard the riot act during Wednesday afternoon&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The Five,&#8221; arguing that she had done a disservice to women who had been the victims of domestic abuse.
Weighing in just hours after a Fairfax, County, Virginia, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-johnny-depp-wins-in-defamation-case-against-amber-heard/">jury found in favor</a> of actor Johnny Depp in the defamation trial between the two former spouses, Pirro said that her own experiences dealing with battered women had led her to believe from the outset that Heard was not the victim but the abuser in this particular case. She also said that, given the verdict, the jury appeared to have come to the same conclusion.

Pirro began by criticizing Heard&#8217;s own <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/defiant-amber-heard-unloads-in-lengthy-post-after-johnny-depp-wins-big-in-defamation-case/">post-trial complaint</a> about how the verdict was a &#8220;setback for women,&#8221; and she made it clear that she disagreed.
&#8220;Here’s the bottom line, for this woman to say it is a setback for women I think she needs to understand one thing and that is that what she did was harmful to real victims of domestic violence,&#8221; Pirro said, noting that she had personally spent decades working with battered women.
&#8220;When she started it was clear that she was not the victim, she was the abuser — and Johnny Depp had lawyers who could take her on,&#8221; Pirro continued, going on to praise Depp&#8217;s legal team.
Pirro noted that Depp had effectively put his entire life on the line in an effort to save his reputation after Heard used him to paint herself as a part of the #MeToo movement.
&#8220;She was impossible to believe. I would tell the jury as a judge, if you find that one witness has testified falsely with respect to one fact, you are free to disregard their entire testimony,&#8221; Pirro explained. &#8220;This woman lied over and over again and I feel free to say that on television. She lied. She was a liar, she was the abuser and he was the victim.&#8221;
She concluded by pointing out just how high the bar was for Depp&#8217;s attorneys to prove  not only that he had been &#8220;defamed&#8221; but that Heard&#8217;s intent had been malicious.
&#8220;That jury had to really see right through her to say she was malicious,&#8221; she said, referencing the jury&#8217;s award of $5 million in punitive damages. &#8220;Don’t give me this stuff with it’s a setback for women. You do not represent women, you represent the worst of women who try to falsely blame men and that is the end of it.&#8221;

‘You Do Not Represent Women!’: Judge Jeanine Reads Amber Heard The Riot Act After Jury Sides With Depp

Judge Jeanine Reads Amber Heard The Riot Act After Jury Sides With Depp

Geraldo Rivera lashed out at the gunman who left at least 15 dead at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school on Tuesday.
Rivera joined his co-hosts on Fox News panel show &#8220;The Five&#8221; to discuss the still-developing story, and he compared the tragic turn of events at Robb Elementary School to the equally shocking shooting at <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-wont-take-sandy-hook-case-will-allow-victims-of-mass-shooting-to-sue-gun-makers/">Sandy Hook</a> Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, nearly a decade ago.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After a brief update from reporters, the discussion went to the panel — and co-host Greg Gutfeld noted that there still was not a lot of information being released about the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-shooting-at-texas-elementary-school-leaves-at-least-15-dead/">details of the shooting</a> beyond the number of dead and injured.
&#8220;That is true, however, if it is indeed confirmed he killed the grandmother first, so there is some family beef going on,&#8221; Rivera began. &#8220;The level — to go to Kellyanne’s point — the level of spite that it would take for someone with a weapon, a rifle and a handgun, to go into the most vulnerable population on earth, these little children who are defenseless, essentially, and to commit this kind of slaughter, it speaks to a cold-blooded, horrific, disgusting person who has no regard — isn&#8217;t — to call them a narcissist is to understate the self-centered rage and disgusting horror that this man would perpetrate and take children away from their parents for what?&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s no possible justification. This son of a b*** — I’m so glad he’s dead,&#8221; Rivera continued. &#8220;This — this is beyond the pale. This is Sandy Hook again.&#8221;
&#8220;We know from the reporting that he went out firing,&#8221; co-host Jesse Watters added. &#8220;He had to be taken out by local officials there and did not take his own life, we believe he was killed by law enforcement, judge.&#8221;
Watters then turned the question over to Judge Jeanine Pirro, who minced no words in her reaction to the situation.
&#8220;If he was killed by law enforcement, obviously it&#8217;s an appropriate, legitimate ending. And you know, I&#8217;m not going to call him a narcissist, I&#8217;m going to call him an animal,&#8221; she said decisively. &#8220;Anyone who kills children, that many children, in one fell swoop is an animal, I don’t care.&#8221;
&#8220;I agree,&#8221; Rivera said.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said that while people routinely mock President Joe Biden for &#8220;losing his keys&#8221; or just appearing to be &#8220;lost&#8221; in general, the real problem is that he has &#8220;lost the sense of what America is.&#8221;
Gutfeld made the comment during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of the network&#8217;s popular afternoon panel show &#8220;The Five,&#8221; where he joined his co-hosts in responding to reports that the Biden administration was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/amid-nationwide-shortage-illegal-immigrants-get-baby-formula-first-lawmaker-claims/">sending pallets</a> of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/psaki-claims-white-house-is-on-top-of-baby-formula-shortage-but-hoarding-is-a-enormous-problem/">baby formula</a> to illegal immigrants at the southern border while American families were dealing with major shortages nationwide.
Judge Jeanine Pirro kicked off the segment by noting that her own daughter — who has a 10-month-old baby — had called her in to help with the search for formula, and she had gone to two stores only to find none on the shelves.
&#8220;Does [this] not add to the &#8216;America last&#8217; theme that is going on since Joe Biden became president?&#8221; she asked.
&#8220;It is not America last, it is a specific number of Americans last. Permission to go off?&#8221; Gutfeld asked, and when he got the go ahead, he proceeded to unload both barrels.
&#8220;The government doesn’t like half of the people they’ve governed. Actually, it might even be higher,&#8221; Gutfeld began, arguing that the Democratic Party was the &#8220;party of the oppressed&#8221; and anyone who did not fit that description was a hindrance.
&#8220;Even if you are a mom with a baby, you are an oppressor. You reproduce, which harms the environment. You expand your carbon footprint. You didn’t terminate the child. There is no baby — no baby formula, they think is not a bad thing,&#8221; Gutfeld continued. &#8220;Jesse is right. If we had an engaged president who could see the priorities of the average American clearly instead of running cover for woke policies, whether it is canceling student debt, defunding the police, the medicalization of children, we would have beaten this thing or got a head start on this.&#8221;
&#8220;Instead, we make fun of him about losing his keys, whatever, losing his place, but he’s kind of lost the sense of what America is,&#8221; Gutfeld added. &#8220;He has forgotten that he is president of all of us. And he is the most slow to react president probably in U.S. history. &#8230; And when he is called out, he just starts yelling. It is a manufactured rage — I [don’t] know if he saw that tape yesterday, it is a manufactured rage. It is a man shouting at the clouds. And really having no idea what to do.&#8221;
Gutfeld concluded by saying that if kids went hungry because of the baby formula shortage, parents at school board meetings would be the least of the Democrats&#8217; worries.
