Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) obtained an embarrassing reminder from a fellow contributor on Fox Information’ “Outnumbered” present Monday.
Chaffetz, who grew to become a pundit for the conservative community after quitting Congress in 2017, joined in on the panel’s criticism of a Politico article concerning the attainable impact that Casey DeSantis, the spouse of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), might have on the governor’s potential 2024 presidential marketing campaign, which he's being anticipated to launch imminently.
Chaffetz mentioned the households of politicians must be off-limits and claimed solely conservatives face such assaults.
“Do they ever do that to the Democrats?” he requested, earlier than answering his personal query: “Oh no, no, no, no.”
Fellow contributor Marie Harf disagreed.
The Obama administration alum recalled conservative assaults on then-first woman Michelle Obama.
“Sure, sure they did,” clarified Harf.
“They don't,” fired again Chaffetz, the previous chair of the Home oversight committee.
“Michelle Obama?” Harf replied. “Do you? I’m sorry, have all of us, like, did we sleep via the eight years of Obama the place conservative media mentioned probably the most terrible, racist, sexist issues about Michelle Obama?”
“I don’t suppose any of this must be mentioned,” she continued. “I believe ladies in politics, particularly spouses, are held to a normal that's sexist. It’s unfair. It’s not honest sport on both facet.”
“Obama was subjected to horrific issues about her,” Harf added.
Correction: An earlier model of this text incorrectly mentioned Harf was chair of the Home oversight committee. As a substitute, Chaffetz served in that position.
