That's the weakest round of applause that anyone has ever received. The next step downwards would have been booing.

[collinschoral]

There is a difference between a JOURNALIST and a NEWS PERSONALITY.

Lol! The look on Bret Baier's face at Stephen's backhanded compliment; "You and Chris Wallace are the two closest things we've got to journalism at Fox news." Priceless.

[AndiDuck]

The Washington Post notes McConnell has voted to raise the debt ceiling 32 times in his career.

[virtualomar]

"but im not a robot", he said, looking like a robot

[joboyogi]

He looks like Mitt Romney if he were from a very high gravity planet.

[bombelz]

Cudos for having him on, but there really should be at least 1-2 tougher questions

[jamesamick]

Brett is one of two people at fox who actually care about facts and tge truth and journalism. That isn't an exaggeration.

[metalhead]

The crowd was dead silent lol but i like that there was not excessive booing.Let all kinds of people have their say invite people as long as you make an opinion whether what they are saying was right or wrong.

[kenbrown]

no, McConnell hopes the REST of us have short memories.

[Oblivion]

Bret face looks like a face from the 70s or 80s America. 😄

Bratt: We called Arizona, let's move on.

[abidrzaidi]

god what a weak round of applause haha 😂

[robertplatt]

Props to Wall St. Journal for its Facebook coverage. They also busted Theranos. See what happens when Murdoch actually lets his reporters work?

I'm not a Bret Baier super-fan but he has his moments. A couple of months ago, he asked Gym Jordan on live TV whether he spoke to TFG on January 6 and Bret got Jordan flailing.

[SelfReflective]

My god, he's got a lot of cosmetic work done!

[Static-ash]

I'll never forget when Brett called it on Biden winning the presidency

[p.b.]

He tolerates what happens so, he's just as guilty. Silence is compliance.

Pathetic to have Baier on to carry water for McConnell.
