Fox News host Chris Wallace called out conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh as a hypocrite for supporting Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration after condemning Barack Obama for using his presidential powers to push through initiatives that couldn’t get through Congress.
Wallace pointed out on Fox News Sunday that the talk show host had attacked former President Obama for using executive actions while lauding President Trump for using a national emergency to obtain funding for a border wall that Congress had refused to approve. He reminded Limbaugh that he was “outraged” when Obama had used his powers and had accused the former president of shredding and flushing the Constitution “down the toilet.”
“I understand that you like what President Trump is doing,” Wallace said. “And you didn’t like President Obama was doing. But that’s the concern here, is that to the degree that you give the president more and more powers, yes, you are going to get some things — executive powers — from one president you like, but you’re going to get things — executive powers — from another president that you don’t like.
