Fox News guest host Charles Payne and co-host Leslie Marshall clashed over the difference between President Joe Biden’s misstatements and former President Donald Trump’s false claims. Payne argued that critics had different standards for the two candidates and that Biden was not being criticized as much as he should be.
Marshall, however, suggested that there was a distinction between Biden and Trump’s statements. She pointed to Trump’s repeated claims that he had won the 2020 election, despite evidence to the contrary, as examples of outright lies. Payne countered that Biden had made numerous gaffes and misstatements, which he attributed to cognitive decline.
The exchange grew heated, with Payne accusing Marshall of insulting him. Marshall defended her comments, stating that she did not appreciate being called dumb. The debate highlights the ongoing partisan divide in the media and public discourse surrounding political figures, with each side accusing the other of bias and double standards.
