Fox News anchor Dana Perino made it clear that she was not impressed with President Joe Biden’s attempts to smear the Republican Party by labeling their agenda as “Ultra-MAGA.”
Perino addressed the topic on Tuesday’s broadcast of “The Five,” joining her co-hosts —Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, Judge Jeanine Pirro, and former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN) — in discussing Biden’s comments from earlier in the day.
Biden had claimed that a majority of Republicans had signed on to Senator Rick Scott’s plan — which Biden had labeled the “Ultra-MAGA Agenda” a few days earlier — despite the fact that Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Scott himself had said otherwise.
“I want to listen to what Dana has to say about ‘Ultra MAGA,’” Watters began, first playing a clip of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki explaining the phrase’s origins.
“It’s the president’s phrase and the president made those comments himself just last week as you know,” Psaki explained. “I think what has struck him is how extreme some of the policies and proposals are that a certain wing of the Republican Party — that is taking up too much of the Republican Party — are for. So to him, adding a little ‘Ultra’ to it gave it a little extra pop.”
“Is he giving it a little extra pop?” Watters turned the question to Perino.
“I can’t stand it because I feel like you’re walking down this aisle at the convenience store or CVS and looking for something that would say ‘Ultra MAGA’ and it’s gross to me,” she said, prompting laughter from around the table. “I can’t stand it, and can’t get it out of my head and I want them to stop.”
“Just because he comes out and says ‘Ultra MAGA’ 20 times it’s not going to make inflation go away,” Perino continued. “They can say Rick Scott 100,000 times. That guy is eating alone at the lunch table. Basically there’s nobody in the Republican Party that signed on to his plan. He can have his plan and he has every right to try to push it, but by no means does an ‘Ultra MAGA’ group support it, that’s absurd.”
