Judge Jeanine Pirro has had it with President Joe Biden and his failed policies, with the Fox News host declaring Wednesday that “it’s over” for him “after the midterms.”
During a segment on “The Five,” one of the network’s most popular programs, Pirro and most of her co-hosts ripped the Biden administration’s plans to tackle inflation as well as rising gas prices as the president is planning to travel to Saudi Arabia — which he pledged during his campaign to treat the kingdom as a “pariah” state — and the Federal Reserve boosted interest rates by 0.75 point, the biggest increase since 1994.
“None of what Joe Biden does makes sense. And the problem is with Joe Biden, and the Democrat Party, what you’ve got is a party that is ideologically so connected, that it’s almost like a cult. Okay? The Democrats don’t vote for Republicans basically under any circumstances that I know of. Republicans will vote for a Democrat,” Pirro said.
“They’ll criticize Donald Trump the month after he gets in. The Democrats don’t criticize Joe Biden. That’s why there are all these whispers that they are talking about,” Pirro added.
“But the concern is this. In spite of the economy, inflation, and everything else, the blame game, and the American public sees through it, they don’t buy into the blame game. All the American public wants to know, Joe, what are you going to do about this?” she asked.
“How are you going to change this? How are you going to make my life better, and all this guy can talk about is green energy, buying lithium batteries from China, opening up the pipeline from Russia, so we can buy gas from Russia, and then making sure that he shuts down our pipeline, when we can’t even afford to go to work, some people,” Pirro said.
“They can’t afford to buy food. They can’t afford to buy groceries. It’s just a mess here. And Joe Biden would have a better shot at it if he at least didn’t depend on other countries for oil, Russia opening up their pipeline, China lithium batteries,” she continued.
“Everything he does puts America last. I don’t care if they whisper, they don’t whisper, it’s over for Joe after the midterms.”
WATCH:
Biden’s reversal on Saudi Arabia also drew renewed criticism of his already weak foreign policy and comes after the country reportedly refused a request from Biden to speak amid rising oil prices due to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Mohammed Khalid Alyahya, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington D.C., told Fox News: “Fixing a relationship that has been beneficial for eighty-years to the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. It has not reached a low worse than recently.”
“There’s no way around the fact that the Saudi trip marks a reversal of President Biden’s original effort to downgrade the bilateral relationship while humiliating and ostracizing Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,” John Hannah, a former national security adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, told Fox News.
Hannah, currently a senior fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), added that Biden’s visit is “a major climb down for the administration that’s been forced on them by $5 per gallon gasoline prices, raging inflation, and an accommodationist policy toward Iran that has reached a dead end.”
“All of the virtue signaling of the administration’s first few months in office, aimed at making good on the president’s campaign promise to turn the Saudis into pariahs, might have made the Democratic Party’s progressive left feel good,” but he said Biden’s playing to the progressive constituency “backfired miserably when it came to serving U.S. national interests,” he noted further.
Hannah added that “it poisoned relations with the Arab and Muslim world’s most influential country to a point where it wouldn’t even take a call from the President of the United States in the middle of a European crisis (the Ukraine war) that posed the greatest challenge to the American-led international order in the past 30 years.”
