Former Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said on Fox News Thursday that Democrats are now “paying the price” for their “lies.”
After President-elect Donald Trump won a historic victory by securing both the Electoral College and the popular vote, Democrats quickly regrouped with their own party, despite warnings from some experts about their own rhetoric. questioned why they lost. Watters asked the former governor on “Jesse Watters Prime Time” why all party members “seem to hate each other.” Blagojevich said the party has a tendency to lie to each other.
“Well, you were quoting the great Democratic president, Harry Truman. He was the one who said, “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” They are very different Democrats than Harry Truman,” Blagojevich said. “Harry Truman was a very outspoken, tough guy. He gave them hell. These Democrats are just liars. They lie.”
“They lie to the American people. They lie to each other. They lie about each other. They stab each other in the back. Biden gave that speech just a second ago. You. I saw it on the screen,” Blagojevich added. “He’s talking about how he considers Kamala Harris part of his family. I mean, that’s a flat-out lie. She stabbed him in the back and forced him out of the presidential candidacy.”
Tensions between Mr. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris surfaced during the presidential campaign after Mr. Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed her on July 21. In an interview with USA Today in January, the president said it would be “presumptuous to say” he would have won the 2024 election, but said he would have won “based on the polls.” (Related: CNN’s Scott Jennings halts panelist’s defense of Biden’s ‘misinformation’ statements with question)

Before Biden’s poor debate performance, Democrats had defended his reelection bid despite continued concerns from Republicans about his mental health. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at one point labeled videos of Biden confused and stumbling over his words as “cheap fakes” produced by Republican lawmakers.
But after the debate, Democrats began to question the president’s cognitive abilities as Biden’s poll numbers plummeted.
“They lied about his suitability for office. They lied about Kamala Harris getting fries at McDonald’s. They lied. Jesse, they lied about a simple question. “How do you define a woman? That’s why their lies have spread and they’re now paying the price for all those lies,” Blagojevich said.
“What you have now is a house divided against itself, because, in Lincoln’s words, relationships that are premised on lies don’t last. That’s what they face. “I’m here,” Blagojevich said. “Now they’re blaming each other for the failures of the Biden administration. What’s interesting about last night’s speech is that he talks about the future in a very dark and pessimistic way, so if that’s the case, it’s because he It never crosses my mind that it’s because I’ve failed as president for the last four years.”
In his final address to the nation from the Oval Office, Biden spoke about his administration’s efforts over the past four years, and went on to talk about the “rise of the high-tech industrial complex” and how Americans are “under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation.” He said he was concerned about this.
