A fiery exchange unfolded on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” show as hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade clashed on Thursday while discussing whether Congressional Republicans could substantiate claims of President Joe Biden’s alleged illegal engagement in his son’s business affairs.
The panel delved into the contentious issue of Hunter Biden’s questionable business transactions. During the conversation, Steve Doocy remarked, “With all due respect, the Republicans need more effective investigators. While they possess significant circumstantial evidence, they have yet to demonstrate that Joe Biden personally benefited or violated any regulations.”
The debate gained momentum when emails came to light revealing that the then-Vice President Biden’s office provided talking points to the State Department regarding Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky, shortly after Hunter Biden’s communication with Washington from the location of a board meeting for Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The exchange highlighted the ongoing controversy surrounding the Biden family’s business dealings and their potential implications.
“They’re doing great, I vehemently disagree,” Kilmeade fired back before Doocy attempted to interject.
“No, no. Let me finish,” Kilmeade said.
“Let me finish! I started!” Doocy said.
“This is funneling right to him at a rapid pace. They have had this job for eight months.
“What’s funneling into him?” Doocy asked.
WATCH:
“Everything! Is Joe involved? Is Joe’s presence involved in every major business deal that Hunter was involved in? As Andy McCarthy said, Joe was the business. He had the access. Hunter didn’t. Hunter didn’t have the reputation. It’s leading right there,” Kilmeade said.
“Brian, what laws did Joe Biden break?”
“If the American people knew,” Kilmeade said.
“Just answer the question,” Doocy pressed. “What law did he break?”
“Number one, the investigation is not done.”
“That’s my point! Brian, they need better investigators.”
“Do you not want to hear any reporting until it’s done?” Kilmeade asked before co-host Ainsley Earhardt jumped in to try and cool tensions.
“To my earlier point, the Republicans just need to present the evidence to the American people and say, look, they have got to say okay,” Doocy said before Kilmeade interjected.
“Nineteen pages wasn’t enough yesterday?”
“Brian, they’ve got to say we can prove Joe Biden broke the law by doing this. That’s all I’m saying.”
“So you only want a concluding sentence?” Kilmeade asked. “You don’t want to see the investigation?”
“I’m watching the investigation!”
“This investigation is the most damning leading to a culmination I have ever seen,” Kilmeade argued.
“I said it looks terrible,” Doocy said. “We just need proof so the American public.”
“You said Republicans are doing a terrible job!”
“I said they need better investors that can connect the dots,” Doocy said before eventually turning toward the camera and ending the spat.
“We disagree about this.”
