It has gotten so bad for Republicans that Fox News wants viewers to ignore the sexual predator at the top of the Republican ticket and instead focus on the issues.

On The Five, Eric Bolling said:

I’m going to start with it’s not ok. None of it ok. It’s not ok what they’re claiming Bill Clinton did with Juanita Broaddrick or Gennifer Flowers or Kathleen Willey. None of that is ok. Nor is it ok what they are accusing Donald Trump of doing. None of it. Period.

My issue is why are we spending so much time on it. I know you want to undermine. You want to call out the character. Both sides are going to do it, and they have done it. But do we not care about the Supreme Court? Do we not care about taxes going forward? Do we not care about wages? Do we not care about whether or not ISIS is planning to use an exploding drone in America, which we heard about today. I mean these are the issues that we should be caring about, but we’ve spent literally more time, both sides, thirty-year-old allegations of sexual impropriety, way more time on that than the issues that really matter. It’s just time to move on in my view.

Bolling was heavily playing the both sides do it card, which is not true. Both sides don’t do it. Donald Trump admitted to committing sexual assault that is how the story got started. The allegations against Trump aren’t thirty years old, and this is not an equal situation.

Fox News, the same network that spent years pushing bogus Benghazi conspiracy theories and Obama birtherism, now wants to talk about the issues. Fox wants the American people to please ignore the sexual predator who is running as the Republican presidential nominee, and instead focus on whether ISIS is going to blow us all up with exploding drones.

The fact that Fox News wants to talk about “the issues” is the biggest sign yet that Republicans are getting their clocks cleaned by Hillary Clinton.
