Fox News Host Compares Justin Timberlake to ‘Morally Compromised’ Joe Biden In Takedown

Fox News’ Lisa Kennedy Montgomery threw out an insult for President Joe Biden while shredding musician Justin Timberlake over his DUI arrest in Sag Harbor, New York this week.

On Wednesday’s Outnumbered, the hosts each offered words of criticism for Timberlake, specifically on reports of his response after his arrest, including complaining that it would ruin his tour and that he reportedly claimed to only have one martini. They also noted a witness alleging to The New York Post that Timberlake took another person’s drink before his arrest. Timberlake refused a breathalyzer multiple times and he has a virtual court appearance set for July.

“The guy could hurt somebody,” Harris Faulkner said after watching footage preceding the arrest.

Emily Compagno honed in on the “tour” comment and noted DUI arrests are costly but far more impactful on people without Timberlake’s status and wealth.

“It matters how you handle it in the moment because your true colors shine through,” she said, noting the musician would eventually need to find a way to apologize to his fans.

Kennedy wondered how no one around the celebrity suggested a ride home.

“There are so many sycophants and hangers-on around him in this establishment…none of them stopped him? None of them offered to get him an Uber? Or a stretch Hummer? Or a rickshaw? Literally anything,” she said.

She then threw out a Biden reference to call Timberlake “morally compromised.”

“I don’t even care what else was in his system, he was impaired,” she said. “We’ve all done that game where you drink other people’s drinks. It’s called playing homeless, at least that’s what we called it back in college.”

George P. Bush, a former Texas land commissioner, did not run with the Biden comparison, but did argue Timberlake has an “opportunity” to shed light on an issue and accept responsibility.

“I think it’s an opportunity as a celebrity to speak up on the issue and say, ‘hey, I did the wrong thing here, and I want to raise awareness about the harms of intoxicated driving,'” he said. “Accept responsibility instead of shifting.”
