Hey Californians! Is this truly what we want?!?! Oh, Hell NO!!!
Three hosts from MS NOW’s, The Weekend: Primetime, interviewed Steve Hilton, one of California’s gubernatorial candidate, Trump toadie, and all around arrogant prick on Sunday. The hosts pressed the former Fox ‘News’ host on a few issues that are important to Californians: the environment and reproductive rights. But, when co-host Ayman Mohyeldin asked if Hilton believe Joe Biden won the 2020 election, Hilton dodged the question. When pressed further by each host about the 2020 election, Hilton replied: “No, I don’t want to indulge these ridiculous games about who won the election and so on.” Can’t disappoint ‘Daddy.”
Hilton once again dodged the question, responding, “I do believe in facts and evidence, and I also believe that it’s an insult to the intelligence of the voters that you want to make an important conversation about the future of this state about something that happened six years ago that’s been well litigated endlessly.”
“It’s about your judgment. It’s not about what happened six years ago, it’s about whether you can say facts and evidence and speak truth to power,” Mohyeldin declared. “It’s about that today. It has nothing to do with the outcome of 2020. Joe Biden served four years as president. We in America know who won the presidency.”
After Hilton replied, “Exactly. Well, that’s right,” Mohyeldin yelled, “You won’t even say it! You’re asking for voters to trust you, and you won’t even say it!”
Hilton then responded, “Well, of course I’ll say it. I’ve said it many times.”
“We just spent five minutes asking you to say it, and you didn’t say it!” Mohyeldin protested, to which Hilton concluded, “I have said it. I’ve said it many times.”
The hosts dragged out a tweet Hilton posted in 2024 to remind him about what he said in the past about the 2020 election:
