Chris Wallace: Biden’s Speech Is ‘Best Inaugural Address I’ve Ever Heard’ – The Federalist

Fox Newss Chris Wallace lauded President Joe Bidens inauguration speech on Wednesday, claiming it was the best address he has ever heard.

I thought it was a great speech, Wallace said, noting that it was colored by the emotion of the Capitol riot just weeks before. Ive been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961 John F. Kennedy ask not. I thought this was the best inaugural address I ever heard.

During the segment with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, Wallace continued to grovel for the incoming administration and buy into Bidens claims that he will unite the country.

I think it was less an inaugural address and more part sermon, part pep talk and talking directly to the American people, saying, Hear me out, Wallace said. We have a right to dissent peacefully, but our disagreement must not lead to disunion. It was a call to our better angels, a call saying, Look, weve got tremendous challenges COVID, the economy, racial injustice, climate change but theres nothing we cant do if we come together.

Wallace concluded his praise by echoing Bidens cautions about lies in the media.

He said that there is truth and there are lies, lies that are told for power and lies that are told for profit. And I think it was a call to all of us, whether its us on the air, on cable, or broadcast. Whether its us on social media, on our Twitter accounts, understanding that we have to deal from facts, from the truth, to hear each other out, as he said, a right to disagree, but not a right to violence, Wallace said. This is the easy part, as has been suggested, now hes got to turn words, rhetoric into reality and action.

Later in Foxs coverage of the inauguration, Wallace was heard questioning his colleague Brit Humes statement that the United States COVID-19 situation was improving with the vaccine.

Really? Wallace questioned on a hot mic. 100,000 people died.

Wallace previously received criticism across the political spectrum after he moderated the first presidential debate, constantly interrupting President Donald Trump and failing to complete proper time management on the stage.
