‘Nancy Kerrigan Situation’: Fox News Host Pushes Wild Theory Biden Will ‘Sabotage’ Trump to Avoid Debates
Fox News host Emily Campagno pushed the wild theory that President Joe Biden will try to “sabotage” former President Donald Trump to avoid a debate with him — as another host argued there aren’t enough drugs “in the world” to make Biden “sentient.”
Biden told radio host Howard Stern in a Friday interview that he would debate the Republican nominee. During a discussion on Outnumbered, co-host Kara Frederick claimed she believed that the Biden campaign would “delay” the debate before the election because Biden is “incompetent.”
Campagno then interjected to speculate that Biden will “sabotage” the debate as the candidates are taking the stage similar to a “Nancy Kerrigan situation.”
The example refers to the ice-figure skater Nancy Kerrigan who was attacked with a baton in 1994 by an assailant hired by her competitor Tonya Harding shortly before the U.S. Figure Skating Championship.
The hosts said:
FREDERICK: if this does happen, what they’re going to do, in my estimation, is they’re going to delay, delay, delay until most of those mail in votes have been cast, you know, past July when most of the electorate has already voted by mail in that case. So they might do it nominally, I don’t know. As Tammy said, there’s not enough uppers in the world at this point to get that man, sentient. But at the same time, if they do it, it’ll be very nominal. It’ll be surface level, it’ll be a data point, a check in the block when most of America’s already voted because they know that Joe Biden cannot do this. He’s incompetent. Period.
CAMPAGNO: Yeah, it’ll probably be a Nancy Kerrigan situation to where like right as Trump’s walking out they like snip the mic. Oh no we tried we showed up. It was a flat tire! You know I’m sure there’s gonna be some sort of sabotage.
