Fox News Pundit Asks Most Sycophantic Question About Donald Trump. It Does Not Go Well.
Fox News pundit Jason Chaffetz drew online mockery after delivering an impassioned — and at times unhinged — pitch for House Republicans to back President Donald Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill. Chaffetz, a former GOP congressman, all but campaigned for the bill's passage during appearances on the conservative network on Wednesday. He predicted it would ultimately clear Congress and land on Trump's desk by the July Fourth holiday, the artificial deadline imposed by the president. 'He's been there less than six months in this term,' Chaffetz said at one point of Trump. Then he sycophantically asked prime-time host Sean Hannity: 'Has he been wrong on anything? He hasn't been wrong on anything.' The over-the-top praise didn't end there. Chaffetz also issued a warning to any Republican lawmakers considering a no vote on Trump's signature spending and tax legisltation, saying: 'I dare you — dare you — to vote against the president on this, because your political career will be bye-bye.' Critics online ridiculed the comments and responded to Chaffetz's 'wrong on anything' question with withering replies. Other posts suggested Chaffetz was 'really going through some things' and that he'd said the quiet part out loud with his challenge to lawmakers.

Broadcaster makes outrageous claim about NYC mayoral candidate
Fox News commentator Jason Chaffetz accused New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani of being radical and wanting to eradicate Jews, claiming he doesn't believe in them. Chaffetz's inflammatory remarks are part of broader accusations from conservatives and centrist Democrats smearing Mamdani as antisemitic, largely due to his stance on the phrase 'globalize the intifada'. Mamdani has clarified he does not use or endorse the 'globalize the intifada' phrase, stating his role is not to police language and that 'intifada' can mean 'resistance'; he has also vowed to combat antisemitism. Mamdani has faced other false accusations, including not condemning the Holocaust, despite consistently commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Beyond the antisemitism claims, Mamdani has been criticized by Chaffetz and others, including Donald Trump, for his progressive policies on wealth redistribution and law enforcement, with Trump threatening to arrest Mamdani if he interfered with ICE raids.

Fox News star outright claims that Zohran Mamdani ‘just wants to eradicate Jews'
Jason Chaffetz tossed a stunning accusation at Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday, claiming the New York City mayoral candidate 'just wants to eradicate Jews' and 'doesn't believe in them.' The inflammatory assertion by Chaffetz – a former Republican congressman – comes as conservatives and centrist Democrats have widely smeared Mamdani as 'antisemitic' – largely over his 'refusal to condemn' the pro-Palestinian slogan 'globalize the intifada.' While saying he doesn't use the phrase or endorse it, Mamdani has added that his role as 'the mayor is not to police language' while arguing that the term can mean different things to different people. He's also vowed to tackle the 'crisis of antisemitism' in the city, pushing for a significant increase in funding for anti-hate crime prevention. During an interview with The Bulwark, for instance, he said that while he sympathized with those who feel 'intifada' is associated with violence against Israel, to condemn the phrase would in essence denounce the Arabic word for 'resistance.' Besides the media-driven focus on the supposed 'globalize the intifada' scandal, which has led at least one prominent Democrat to later apologize to Mamdani for grossly mischaracterizing his words, the 33-year-old democratic socialist has also falsely been accused of not condemning the Holocaust because he didn't co-sponsor a New York resolution memorializing the genocide. Mamdani, however, has commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day for years on social media. With the Democratic mayoral nominee facing ugly and gross Islamophobic attacks since his surprise primary victory, Fox News hosts and commentators have outright accused him of being an antisemite and even going so far as to question the faith of Jewish New Yorkers who have endorsed Mamdani. Amid Donald Trump's threat to arrest Mamdani if he were to interfere with ICE raids in New York, which evolved on Wednesday to the president saying he holds 'all the levers' to prevent 'this Communist Lunatic' from destroying the city, Chaffetz appeared on anchor Harris Faulkner's show to criticize the candidate's 'extreme' policies. 'He doesn't believe there should be billionaires,' the ex-lawmaker grumbled, referencing recent remarks made by Mamdani. 'He wants to confiscate wealth. Redistribute it. He believes in equality, not in the good sense, but the idea he will confiscate wealth and try to push it down to make sure everybody has the same outcome.' Faulkner, who earlier this week lambasted Jewish lawmakers who have backed Mamdani, then wondered why the progressive candidate didn't draw more support from the poorest voters in the primary despite 'all these free things' he wants to give away. 'I don't think they can relate to him,' Chaffetz exclaimed before making a wild assertion. 'I think he is so radical, so far to the left, he just wants to eradicate Jews,' he declared. 'He doesn't believe in them!' The Fox News contributor then maintained that Mamdani 'believes in the global intifada' before calling for New York voters to back unpopular incumbent Eric Adams, who has become a frequent Fox News presence since leaving the Democratic Party and receiving a pardon from Trump. This guy is too far radical,' he said. 'I hope they coalesce around somebody more reasonable. I have never been a big Eric Adams fan. I am right now compared to this guy. I really worry about in this city, it's a dangerous place here in New York City.'Chaffetz concluded: 'If you're going to dismantle law enforcement. You're gonna get rid of them. You won't cooperate with ICE. This town is going to turn to – I can't say it on TV.' Not addressing Chaffetz's incendiary claims about Mamdani wanting to 'eradicate Jews,' Faulkner instead ended the discussion by calling Mamdani a 'chameleon' because 'he didn't do his homework.' 'Does he think the rest of us are as stupid as to believe that a mayor can get done the things he is promising? He had a better chance as an assemblyman for his own district,' she added. 'But I don't think he studied up, buttercup! We'll see!'
