    "Chris Wallace calls out Limbaugh for being ‘outraged’ when Obama took executive action"
    "Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Sunday called out conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh over the difference between his response when President Trump and former President Obama made an executive action."

    “I want to ask you about the game you say we play in Washington," Wallace said while on "Fox News Sunday." "Because the fact is that when President Obama took executive actions, you were outraged."

    "Limbaugh, who has supported Trump's national emergency declaration to fund a border wall, said at the time that America couldn't "stand idly by and try to find some political opportunity while the president basically shreds the Constitution and flushes it down the toilet."

    "Fox's Wallace presses Stephen Miller for example on Trump emergency declaration"

    "White House senior adviser Stephen Miller on Sunday staunchly defended President Trump's decision to declare a national emergency but struggled to provide an example of a similar use of such executive power by past presidents."

    ""Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace repeatedly pressed Miller to provide another example of a president invoking national emergency powers to get money that Congress denied him through the appropriations process."

    "Miller did not provide another instance of a president using emergency powers to secure funding previously denied to him by Congress, but insisted that Trump was justified in his actions."

    https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday...presses-miller-on-trump-emergency-declaration


    Seems Chris didn't get the memo that you are not suppose to ask real questions when interviewing Trump lackeys on live TV on FOX.

    He must either be thinking retirement or putting out feelers for a real news job

    Oh, I'm sure we're going to get plenty of conservatives to tell us why it's ok for them.
    They are the worst hypocrites that the world has ever seen.

    And just as many liberals telling us how EOs are Nazism. So while you call Republican the worst hypocrites in the world, the violent left is going to do everything they possibly can to take over that top slot.

    Don't forget we haven't heard any of these ass clowns crying about the federal deficit since Trump has been in office, but when Pres Obama was in office Hannity whined everyday aboit the debt his kids and grandkids were going to have to pay.

    You can add on family values, deficits, Constitution, and free trade, guess with the right principles all depends on who occupies the White House

    Sadly I agree. Except for the violent statement and the nazism statement. That's just puffery.
    But the sentiment is solid.

    LOL! And Limbaugh put it back in his face. The actions obama took were not for the benefit of the country. Dickhead obama was out to benefit the democrats.

    Well that's weird. Obama declared a National Emergency for the influenza outbreak in 2009. All his other Declarations of National Emergency were to block funds to criminals contributing to war zones. How does that "benefit the democrats"? Me-thinks your post is full of crap.

    Chris Wallace has a serious case of TDS. He's looked like a fool on many occasions the last couple of years.

    Chris Wallace is one of the few ACTUAL journalists on Fox News.

    Good for Chris.

    I remember when the ACA (individual mandate specifically) became a thing. I tried reminding progressives that they wouldn't like it if the shoe was on the other foot, that someday one of 'our guys' would be in charge. It seems to me, at that point, progressives were on a high, something like a Donald Trump presidency seemed completely inconceivable. Well, here we are.

    I'll admit, Trump declaring a national emergency makes me uneasy, especially since, as progressives have said, Democrats very well may use the same tactic when inevitably a Democrat is elected POTUS.

    I really wish there was a different way for him to go about it.

    Republicans have abandoned everything they swore they stood for.

    Family values = three time, that we know of, adulturous leader, 5 children by 3 different women
    Fiscal responsibility = ballooning debt and no mention of it
    Integrity = hahaha let’s not even go there

    Difference is that Obama had the backing of Congress when he signed the ACA. Trump used this "emergency" purely as ploy to get around Congress.

    That's right, especially when he himself said he didn't have to do it. That should bite him in the ass.

    Huge difference that seems to be lost on Republicans in both houses.

    Oh yeah, they had to pass it to see what's in it.......with one stolen Senate seat at that.

    Trump is using the laws passed by Congress. That is certainly NOT a ploy to get around Congress. If you don't like the laws passed by Congress, call your Congressman and complain to them but expect to be called out on the intellectual dishonesty if you don't.

    We'll just have to wait for the Supreme court decision on this one.

    Only because butthurt liberals and rinos can't read the statutes on the books. Even before the Supreme Court hears this issue, they will have already kicked obamacare to the curb since the individual mandate is gone....unless of course Roberts goes against his original reasoning the first time he upheld it.

    Gonna be a great 6 more years.

    I wish your voice were louder so both parties could here it. I think by your use of the term "our guy" that we side up differently but you got my vote.

    Yup.

    Too bad that Roberts doesn't like Trump's attitude.

    Roberts will concoct a reason for a 5-4 decision denying Trump.

    Rush Limbaugh's education:

    Because of his parents' desire to see him attend college, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University but left the school after two semesters and one summer. According to his mother, "he flunked everything," and "he just didn't seem interested in anything except radio."
