During this discussion, Alan Dershowitz states that Joe Biden has done “a good job” and gotten a “lot of things accomplished” including now the Inflation Reduction Bill which just seconds ago passed the Senate. But the thing that really sets her off is Dershowitz saying that Biden “is a moderate.”
"He's done great things in Ukraine," Dershowitz told Bartiromo in a Sunday interview. "I think he has done good things on domestic policy, gotten some very good things passed."
"He is the candidate who restores normality and if Trump is going to run, I think that even a low-ranking candidate with essentially moderate views, he won't win," the attorney continued. "But Trump will lose. So nobody is going to win this next election if it's Trump vs. Biden. It will be who has the most negatives and who loses the election."
Bartiromo reminded Dershowitz that he "supported Trump" by defending him during impeachment.
"You said Joe Biden was moderate!" the Fox News host exclaimed. "You said he has moderate policy. You said he has passed some good things. You said he did a good job in Ukraine. I don't know what you're talking about! This is not a moderate president. OK?"
"I don't know what you're talking about in terms of Joe Biden being moderate, Alan," she complained.
"Compared to who?" Dershowitz replied. "I mean, compared to President Trump, who I did not vote for. I defended him against an unconstitutional impeachment but I didn't vote for him. But compared to President Trump, the current president, Biden, is a moderate. So is his attorney general, a moderate."
"No, he's not a moderate!" Bartiromo shouted back. "He's not a moderate! It's just not true! And I know that's the B.S. line that Democrats have been trying to sell us since day one during the campaign. But his actions and his policies are indicative that he's not a moderate!"
She added: "Not only is he not a moderate but his son has been selling influence. Hunter Biden and the investigation is continuing there."

Let all give a “Bless her heart” to Maria Bartiromo as she tries desperately to push the pathetic Fox narrative that mind-mannered little Joe Biden is a secret radical communist Muslim socialist. Aint that darling?
I would grant you that Biden is only slightly to the left of Barack Obama — when Obama was still talking about “Civil Unions” it was Biden who let the Marriage Equality cat out of the bag. While Obama was struggling with his surge in Afghanistan, Biden pretty much wanted to end that pointless war way back in 2011. But then again — neither of those positions makes him a shadow member of The Squad. He clearly believes in Climate Change but he’s still using drone strikes to fight Al Qaeda. He believes in health care for all, but he doesn't believe in Medicare for All like Bernie Sanders — instead, he supports adding a public option to Obamacare which should have always had one from day one.
He is mildly progressive. But then again, that's what we voted for. Someone stable. Someone normal. Someone hinged.
And the truth is, even with a nearly evenly divided House and Senate, he has accomplished some great things. I was watching Dana Bash today struggling to list everything — because the list is long.

And while we’re not going to talk about his "son peddling influence” — which is ridiculous since he never worked for his dad or the government and neither did any of his business partners — but then we're also not going to talk about the $2 Billion deal that Jared Kushner arranged with the Saudis after helping MBS to sweep the bone-saw murder of Jamal Khashoggi under the rug.
Just imagine if he'd stooped to giving him a fist bump?
