Bill Bennett: Who Do You Want Defending You When The Bad Guys Come, The Marines Or CNN? [VIDEO]

Reagan’s Secretary of Education turned wingnut bloviator Bill Bennett appeared on Fox & Friends this morning to deliver what will surely be the stupidest fucking quote you’ll read today. (Unless Trump tweets again, of course.)

Via Mediaiate:



Bennett referenced a Tweet from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in which she called the press “guardians to our democracy.” The conservative pundit then took the Minority Leader’s comments in a direction that she likely didn’t intend.

“Free press is an important part of our democracy,” Bennett said. “But if the bad guys are coming over the wall, who you do you want defending you: The staff at CNN or the United States Marine Corps?”

Bennett also praised President Donald Trump for his aggression against the media — for treating them as the enemy rather than a potential ally.
