    Fox Host’s Eyes Nearly Roll Out of Her Head When Democrat Tells Her, ‘Donald Trump Is Afraid’

    Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) claimed former President Donald Trump is “afraid” to debate presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris , prompting an eye-roll from Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Friday.

    Crow claimed that in addition to being fearful, Trump is tired and “fatigued,” which he said he learned to recognize during his military career.

    MacCallum pointed out that Trump had agreed to a second debate with President Joe Biden which was scheduled for Sept. 10. Biden dropped out of the race last Sunday – effectively canceling the debate, but Harris offered to take the president’s spot for the ABC News forum.

    Harris and her allies have since portrayed Trump as hesitant to face off against her with the vice president herself accusing Trump of “backpedaling.”

    MacCallum noted that Democrats do not yet have an official nominee and asked Crow if attacks against Trump were unfair.

    The host asked, “Given the fact that there has been an upheaval on the Democrats’ ticket, does it seem fair that you would want to sort of say, ‘Okay, now we have a new situation. We’re gonna do this debate and that debate and these are the terms and let both sides hash them out?'”

    Crow responded by portraying Trump as a sleepy, fearful old man:

    The last debate, Martha, happened when both candidates were not their confirmed nominees, so what has changed is my question. I think the obvious answer is Donald Trump is afraid. He is afraid of the change and he’s acting like it. I’m a combat veteran and I know fear and fatigue when I see it and he is acting tired and afraid here.

    Someone needs to wake him up and I know he has a hard time staying awake – you know he fell asleep repeatedly at his own nominating convention and he fell asleep repeatedly at his own criminal trial – someone needs to wake him up and let him know the next generation of leadership is here.

    Crow’s comments prompted a smirk and an eye roll from MacCallum, who cut in and said, “Oh, come on. Come on.”

    MacCallum proposed that the candidates should work together in the very near future to schedule a debate.

    Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said Thursday it would be “inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds” about nominating her.
