Fox News Host Spouts Nutty Conspiracy Theory After Biden's Acuity Is Questioned
HuffPost
"We all know that," Rachel Campos-Duffy said on "Fox & Friends."
Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy suggested without pushback Wednesday that President Joe Biden’s administration is puppet-mastered by former President Barack Obama.
The persistent conspiracy theory among right-wingers, which Campos-Duffy has amplified before, made its way into a “Fox & Friends” discussion about Biden’s age and capability.
“We know that the staff is running the show, and whoever puts the stuff in the teleprompter is actually the president of the United States,” co-host Steve Doocy said.
“Well, Obama and Valerie Jarrett are running the show from Kalorama,” Campos-Duffy chimed in, referring to Obama’s former senior adviser and the neighborhood in Washington, D.C., where Obama owns a home. “We all know that.”
The other co-hosts didn’t push back on Campos-Duffy’s remark, though they did laugh.
