What? He wasn't listening? Here's the clip:A former Fox News military analyst will not be booked on Fox Business again after saying that torture “worked” on Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The network will not book Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney again, a spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.
[...]
"Sen. John McCain said he's not going to endorse Haspel also in part because she believes in torture, that she thinks it works, even though she laid out at least three instances where it did work to the benefit of humankind, not just Americans, but all human beings," McInerney said on the show.
"Well, she can't use it [torture] anymore because we have determined in Congress that it's not legal,” he added. “The fact is, is John McCain, it worked on John. That's why they call him 'Songbird John.’”
Charles Payne, the host of the show, apologized to McCain and his family, and said that he did not hear the remark.
“I regret I did not catch this remark, as it should have been challenged,” Payne said.
The Hill
Last summer I complained that McInerney should be shunned because of his remarks about bombing North Korea with nukes. It was okay then, I guess, because it was North Koreans.
Charles Payne has his own issues, but if misogynistic, ignorant, greedy, lying (which I have no doubt he's doing here - he heard the man) were a bar from working at Fox News, there wouldn't be enough people left to run a studio. Shepard Smith would have to work from his home computer on YouTube, with an occasional assist by Chris Wallace.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE:
Exactly what I was thinking.
