Bartiromo Exposed: ‘OMG So depressed, Can’t Take This, I WANT To See Massive Fraud Exposed…’

Theoretically, newsreaders are supposed to be in search of the facts – stop laughing – and not part of a presidential election team. Stop laughing. It’s only a theory. It is only a theory with respect to Fox – as we increasingly see – and the Trump campaign.

Maria Bartiromo is an interesting case, formerly known as the “Money Honey” on CNBC (By the misogynist traders, though she loved it). She was respected as someone with her fingers on the pulse of the market and what CEOs and traders want and anticipate. You could trust she did her homework and was reporting the truth.

Then she went to Fox, and something happened. She changed. In fact, she became entirely unrecognizable. She may have always been a Republican – she wasn’t named the money honey by accident – but she also appeared far too smart to not just vote for Trump but to fall head first into the cult. Of all the Fox newsreaders, perhaps only Carlson was worse when it came to outright lies about the election.

Yesterday, Tucker was further exposed. Today, it’s Bartiromo’s turn in the barrel, and she doesn’t fail to disappoint. She must not be very respected because she was texting Steve Bannon:

From NBC News:

In text messages with Bannon on Nov. 10, 2020, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo said, “Omg I’m so depressed. I can’t take this,” and lamented how upsetting it was to watch the “world move forward.”

“I want to see massive fraud exposed. Will he be able to turn this around,” she added, referring to Trump. “I told my team we are not allowed to say pres elect at all. Not in scripts or in banners on air. Until this moves through the courts.”

Bannon later replied, “You are our fighter. Enough with the sad ! We need u.”

“You are our fighter.” Strange. She was a Fox News employee. The use of the word “our” there is a bit out of place, perhaps a little humiliating to Maria?

Bannon then texted her with what he called “the plan.”

“1. We either close on Trumps victory or delegitimize Biden 2. Win both seats in Georgia 3. Win back house in 2022 4. Elect u to the senate 5. IF we don’t close on Trump victory now have trump declare for 2024 the day after taking back House and your win in Nov 2022.”

Bang. “Delegitimize Biden,” doing all she can to cast doubt on his election, and she went above and beyond in delegitimizing Biden’s win. Again, perhaps only Tucker did more.

NEW: Steve Bannon and Maria Bartiromo plotted to discredit Biden and get Bartiromo elected to the Senate in the days after the 2020 election, according to a new filing in the Dominion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
