Fox News Network has come off with some seriously unhinged insanity over the years that’s certainly made those of us with a conscience and a shred of common sense wonder how this media outlet is even still in business. But, frankly, this might be their worst one yet.
In a new segment this week, the ultra Right-wing news network is now blaming Tropical Storm Hilary that’s wreaking havoc on California on President Joe Biden, claiming that “they” somehow “let” the catastrophic storm into the United States.
We couldn’t make this up if we tried.
Fox’s Sunday evening episode of The Big Weekend Show kicked off with a big load of bullshit within its first minute on air, when network host Kennedy opened the segment with the absolute most drama.

“The big story tonight: The wrath of Tropical Storm Hilary. 42 million desperate souls in the path of the storm which made landfall in Mexico several hours ago. But they let it right into the country because it’s Biden’s America,” the Fox host dramatically declared over the weekend.
“Its impact far from over,” Kennedy continued to ramble. “This is the first tropical storm to hit California since 1939, when Joe Biden started his Senate career,” appearing to take a pretty thinly-veiled jab at President Biden’s, who was born in 1942, age.
“Forecasters warn there could be catastrophic, and life-threatening flooding,” the Fox host reported before going on to air a clip of National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome stating that there are “a lot of people in harm’s way” who are “probably being a little bit flippant in not taking the risk seriously,” with regard to Tropical Storm Hilary.
Today, the Associated Press reported on the tragic impact of the tropical storm, noting that Hilary is the “first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, Hilary dropped more than half an average year’s worth of rain on some areas, including Palm Springs, which saw nearly 3.18 inches (8 centimeters) of rain by Sunday evening.”
CBS News also reported on the catastrophic storm, adding, “According to the National Weather Service, Ventura County is experiencing life-threatening flooding, and the Inland Empire and mountains are at high risk of flash floods. San Bernardino and Riverside Counties have been issued evacuation orders, and Orange County has been issued evacuation warnings.”
