Fox News’ John Roberts lost his composure during a report on Fox News Thursday morning, attacking those on Twitter who criticized him for the way he asked White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany about the president’s stance on white supremacy. (Tweet/Video) “For all of you on Twitter who are hammering me for answering that — for asking that question, I don’t care! Because it’s a question that needs to be asked.”In the White House press briefing moments before, Roberts asked McEnany — three times — whether the president denounced white supremacy, and appeared not to accept yes for an answer.Roberts first asked “for a definitive and declarative statement,

Badgering and outright harassment of the press secretary appears to have made him the story. He should get some help.

Roberts basically made a fool of himself, as the did the next questioner, who kept asking the question he had asked. They would not accept any response, including the most "declarative" statement given by McEnany as she quoted the President and expressed his stance in the clearest of terms. It was a surreal segment. Reminded me of something from Alice in Wonderland. Curiouser and curiouser.

Well, John, it's like this. The whole post-Charlottesville "white supremacy" meme aimed at President Trump is just that: a meme. Not reality. A violation of the Ninth Commandment on bearing false witness. The president's words were deliberately misreported by members of the MSM--they are the Enemedia--and every repetition of it is just as damnable a lie as it was at the beginning. The is meme spreading with vengeance, done by dishonest reporters who should be unemployed now. You too, John.

What is this with the white supremacy? It does not play even a miniscule role in the USA. They never badger Biden or the dems about antifa or BLM, which are the real danger.

Liberals (and we know that is at least 95% of the media) will literally say ANYTHING. They have no lines. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. This seems like a fitting description of the WH press corps.

These anti-Trumpers are peeved that the Proud Boys turned out to not be white supremacists. They really loved that meme and had latched on to it. Then a black university leader pulled back the curtain and informed the world that PBs are lead by a black Cuban and their membership is 10-20% black. Thwap.

If he was a REAL reporter he would have researched Trump quotes in Time magazine in August.
Fox news has 'grown' into the name Faux News. They were my go-to news channel until they got 'woke'.

President Trump answered the question. Kayleigh answered your question during the press conference. In every case, he or his spokesperson has denounced racism and white supremacists. So what exactly is your issue John ? That he didn't call out the "Proud Boys" group by name? If you would do a little research (something reporters use to do routinely) you would know that the head of that group is a black latino and they have quite a few black members. Being pro-USA does not make one a racist.

Rush makes an important point, inside info may well show black Americans supporting Trump in numbers that would doom the Party of Despair, Democrats.
We see today the vast majority of criminal Old Media bastids banging the racism drum. If there's another debate, PDJT have a lot to say they don't want to hear.
Let's roll, Mr. President.

No, it was NOT " a question that needs to be asked", you jerk.
The question has been asked and answered for YEARS now, and still you biased, leftist "reporters" have to pretend that there is something there, when there has never been the slightest hint of truth, only a Demonrat smear.
I really don't like Roberts.

The insightful delightful posts here made my day. I can only add that Kayleigh tweeted right after John Roberts’ whine-o-rama on FOX that none other than HIS own journalist wife, Kyra Phillips begs to differ with him. Kayleigh tweeted Kyra’s quote from several years ago when she stated Trump had denounced all that John said he had not. BOOM. Kersplatt Mr. Roberts. lol

The whole "white supremacist" obsession by the enemedia needs to be openly and repeatedly challenged. It's completely bogus and needs to be hammered, not just politely denied. The questioners must be challenged, with questions like the following.
How many events can you cite of protests, rioting, or looting by white supremacists? Places and dates? How does that compare to the dozens of Democrat cities and months of looting, rioting, and violence by antifa and BLM, and the billions of dollars of damage?
So why aren't you constantly asking Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the other Democrat leaders if they condemn such leftist violence? Why the obsession with this? It's like asking him to condemn violent unicorns. They don't exist either.

These days the TV talking heads like John Roberts know that for them to get ahead in the industry that they must appear to be extremely politically correct and lean left at every turn, that is what Roberts was attempting to signal to the network "Suits" in order to be hopefully for his sake noticed.

John Roberts is desperate. He is a middleman that has been made obsolete by the internet, tweet, instant messaging. No one needs or wants their news filtered through John Roberts, when they can get unfiltered news directly from the source. That is a great improvement, because Roberts is an ignorant and uninteresting man. Fox is paying him, and getting nothing for their money.

Rush today played a Chris Wallace debate question on racism - from 2016!! - where Trump condemned racism back then. Rush surmises Biden shared post-be age polling that Trump must be peeling off Considerable black votes, so news media/democrat allies are panicking!!! Turn on Trump is a Racist to stop it!!!!

Well, now we know why Roberts is so biased against Trump. I didn't know about his wife. Perhaps he should cut the bee in the bonnet act and ask Biden why he thinks AntiFa is an idea. Does an idea burn down cities? Do ideas shoot people? Do ideas terrorize neighborhoods? This "say the name" act is getting a bit offensive. Fox needs to discipline this jerk.

My hunch is Democrats are trying to link anything that has a white majority to supremacy, and then as supremacist.
The Charlotte incident was condemning the white supremacists at the event (KKK and neo-Nazi).
A supremacy and being a supremacist are two different things.
Google, as most know, has supremacy in their industry, but that does not mean they are supremacists, right?

The white Supremacy thing is an attempt to deflect from BLM. The irony is that the BLM riots are full of white kids.
Dear John Roberts: Will you issue a declarative statement that you do not support BLM?

If you didn't catch it, Roberts isn't just a lib tool, he's also a p-whipped husband. His wife is a reporterette for another news agency and she, earlier in the day, was badgering the Trump folks with the same line of questions. Verdict - he doesn't dare behave any other way if he wants to have dinner ready when he gets home or if he wants to try to make more kids.

MS Squirrel's first spouse was an egotistical jerk-ass reporter who snatched a gig in Switzerland for covering the World Health Organization. These dickwads think they can just tell their version of the news and expect the proles to believe it. It has been my enjoyment to watch his meteoric descent into irrelevance as he continues to insist he remains an important advocate for whatever cause he hopes will pay him money. Bottom lin, John Roberts is a press who're.

The only reason the MSM goes on and on about White Supremacy is so that we won't look at all the violence and mayhem caused by leftist rioters and looters. There are very few, if any, actually White Supremacists in America, and they are not rioting in the streets, looting, and shooting police and innocent people. We can see what is going on, and that is why we have had enough of the lying, Fake News MSM.

John Roberts is from Canada and was the Baby Boomer Canadian version of a poor man’s Dick Clark. How he went from MuchMusic on MTV in Canada to the White House press corps when he was well into middle age is a reflection of the quality of “reporter” found there. That he is a fossil compared to the others in the press room must be humiliating for him but he is no smarter or wiser than any of them.

"....I don’t care! Because it’s a question that needs to be asked.”.......because it is today's version of "When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?". Just asking the question creates an unpleasant atmosphere that tends to make watchers vote for someone else.
Anyway, that's what it seems like to me.

And yet, he and other so called reporters never questioned that demented fool, Bidet, when he claimed Antifa is an idea! Seriously? Is there no difference between “idea” and “ideology”?

John Roberts joins the gutter snipe club at FOX News along with the other panty waste urinalists Chris Wallace and Juan Williams. One America News is a great option to get real news.
