During a heated exchange on Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered,” liberal contributor Leslie Marshall strongly responded to conservative co-host Charles Payne’s attempt to defend President Joe Biden’s numerous verbal mistakes. Emotions were high as the panel discussed Biden’s gaffes, a topic that frequently leads to intense debates in the political arena. Payne, the male guest on the show and a host on Fox Business Network, pointed out Biden’s struggles to read from a cheat sheet provided by his handlers during a campaign event where he exaggerated or fabricated his life experiences.
Payne mentioned how “frustrating” it is that the the normal mainstream media refuses to cover Biden’s mistakes, adding, “Do you want your commander in chief to be someone who can’t even read off an index card?”
“Whenever Joe Biden messes up a word, I hear about it across the board,” Marshall responded. “I don’t hear the same about former President Trump this morning, I didn’t. He’s under a gag order right now, so you’re probably not going to hear much.”
Furthermore, in response to Payne’s argument, she asserted that there have been instances where she has unintentionally made errors while on-air. She specifically highlighted an incident where she mistakenly referred to the people of Palestine as the “people of Pakistan.” However, as Marshall continued to press the issue, Payne interjected to convey her frustration with the narrative being presented.
“It always offends when people talk to me and us like we’re dumb, what you make is such a dumb example. We’re not talking about you or me or her making an occasional gaffe,” he declared.
“I don’t think you’re dumb –” Marshall began before Payne cut her off.
“We’re talking about gaffe after gaffe after gaffe!” he roared.
“I don’t appreciate you calling me dumb,” she responded.
“No, you’re not dumb! You’re insulting! Gaffe after gaffe after gaffe after gaffe!” he added.
“It is not just a slip of the tongue. He does it each and every speech. This is why each and every poll shows the American voters, a majority, do not think he has the mental acuity. Even Democratic voters I’ve seen polls that show this,” Kayleigh McEnany added.
