Overnight Editor, HuffPost Fox News hosts are freaking out after President Joe Biden on Wednesday challenged Donald Trump to debate him and the two quickly agreed to meet twice between now and Election Day. The first debate is set for next month on CNN, while the second is planned for September on ABC. Though the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee has also pushed for a Fox News debate, the Democratic incumbent hasn’t agreed to that ― and the network’s hosts are in meltdown mode as a result. Sean Hannity criticized CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is set to be one of the debate moderators, by calling him a “radical left-wing partisan.” Hannity demanded that moderators’ mics get cut off after asking Trump questions, and he also launched into some wild conspiracy theories about Biden. He claimed that Biden will take a “heavy dose” of “whatever he took before the State of the Union” address to win the debates. He further suggested that Biden is “secretly” trying to get out of the debates.

The day the Democrats aren’t tying him down in court,” Watters said. “That is some Dark Brandon.” But Watters, too, had a ton of problems with the debate conditions, moderators, networks and more. He also offered some conspiracy theories of his own, such as the claim that Biden scheduled the first debate early to prevent shadowy “kingmakers” from replacing him with another presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention. And, like Hannity, Watters claimed that Biden will be “shot up” with something to enhance his performance. Biden’s list of debate demands are longer than a spending bill. Tactically, this may have been a smart move for Biden, but strategically, it shows weakness.
