LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent segment on Fox News, Maria Bartiromo stirred controversy by suggesting that former President Barack Obama might be orchestrating a scheme to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for the upcoming presidential election.

During her conversation with RNC co-chair Lara Trump, Bartiromo speculated on the possibility of Biden being sidelined and raised questions about the role of Democratic superdelegates in such a scenario.

Bartiromo posed the provocative question, "Well, I mean, what about the superdelegates? Right? And all the delegates that have been secured? Does President Obama run that?" This inquiry implies a belief that Obama could wield considerable influence behind the scenes, potentially influencing party decisions critical to Biden's candidacy.

She further probed, "How do you get the superdelegates to agree to make a change?" hinting at the complexity and secrecy she perceives in any move to alter the Democratic ticket.



 

Lara Trump joined in, emphasizing the magnitude of the issue, remarking, "It's a huge question. I'm sure they're scrambling. I'm sure they're having late-night sessions trying to figure out how to salvage this." Her comments echo concerns within some conservative circles about the perceived instability or dissatisfaction with Biden's leadership.

Amid the speculation, both Bartiromo and Lara appeared confident in the reelection prospects of former President Donald Trump. "And no matter how they try and spin it, no matter what they try and do, I think that it's going to be a resounding win again for Donald Trump in November," Lara asserted, to which Bartiromo enthusiastically agreed, "Yeah."

Internet demands Maria Bartiromo be sued 

Maria Bartiromo's speculation on Fox News has ignited a storm of criticism and skepticism online, with users accusing her of spreading baseless conspiracy theories to cater to interests aligned with the network's agenda

One user wrote, "Bartiromo is running her mouth to continue getting paid by the fascist foreigner billionaires who control F News, who seek to make themselves even wealthier and more powerful by weakening democracies worldwide via the broadcasts of their fascist propaganda to semi-informed, gullible viewers."

Another user commented, "She deserves to be sued into financial oblivion."

One user replied, "Wtf!?! She’s as dumb as a box of rocks. Obama couldn’t run again because you’re only allowed two terms as president. What a bunch of dumb a**es on that network!"

Another user said, "Maria Bartiromo is more successful chasing a bottle than working as a journalist. That's why no one gives a damn about what she says or does."

One user added, "Have another drink Maria, I'm sure you missed at least one round."

Another stated, "she makes being a dumba** to high staggering levels."

One said, "Another day, another lie."
