Fox News Hosts Put Ridiculous Spin On Group War Chat Scandal
HuffPost
Will Cain's "bigger takeaway" was a particular head-scratcher. Jesse Watters talked about "raunchy plans." Sean Hannity ranted.
Personalities on Fox News on Monday furiously attempted to spin the Trump administration’s accidental addition of The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat discussing an imminent war strike in Yemen.
Will Cain acknowledged the blunder was “incredibly concerning” but then pivoted to claim the “bigger takeaway” is that it’s “a transparent insight into the thought process and dialog of our national leaders.”
“What you will see is dialog […] in a very collaborative, open, honest, team-based attempt to come to the right decision,” said Cain. “After years of secrecy and incompetence, if you read the content of these messages, I think you will come away proud these are the leaders making these decisions in America.”
Watch here:
Jesse Watters also downplayed the blunder, likening it to someone’s Aunt Mary being accidentally invited to a group chat and ending up “knowing all your raunchy plans for your bachelor party.”
