Things got a little heated on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” when one of the co-hosts tried to defend President Joe Biden’s gaffes.
While the panelists were discussing Biden’s gaffes on Wednesday, liberal co-host Leslie Marshall tried to offer some defense of them by noting she is not immune to the occasional slip-up.
“From my perspective, whenever Joe Biden messes up a word, I hear about it across the board,” Marshall said.
She went on:
“I don’t hear the same with former President Trump… This morning I did an interview — full confession — and I said the people of Pakistan — supporters of Pakistan, not Palestine. Now, in my defense, I had not finished my first cup of coffee. But at the same time, am I demented?”

"This is ridiculous," he yells after his rant.

The panel then exploded as several co-hosts started speaking to respond to her statement.
Charles Payne, host of “Making Money,” fired back, “It always offends me when people talk to me, and us, like we’re dumb.”
“What you’re making is such a dumb example… We’re not talking about you or me or her — anyone — making an occasional gaffe. We’re talking about gaffe after gaffe after gaffe after gaffe,” he continued.
When Marshall accused him of calling her dumb, Payne said, “No, you’re not dumb, you’re insulting.”
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany chimed in, “It’s not just a word. Rafah and Haifa. Imagine him on the phone with a world leader and he confuses Rafah and Haifa… It is not just a slip of the tongue. He does it each and every speech.”=
