Fox’s Rachel Campos-Duffy Declares Anti-War Donald Trump Restored Her Trust in Government After ‘The Bushes’ Lied About WMDs

Fox & Friends co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy declared Sunday that Donald Trump restored her trust in government after “the Bushes” lied about Saddam Hussain’s weapons of mass destruction as an excuse for going to war.

Joining her on the couch Sunday were regular co-host Will Cain and also Charlie Hurt — sitting in the spot recently vacated by Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for secretary of defense.

The discussion centered around how campaigning with pro-war Liz Cheney (R-WY) sunk Kamala Harris, and how Trump “remade” the Republican Party with his anti-war stance. Trump has claimed that had he still been president, Russia never would have invaded Ukraine, and Hamas would not have attacked Israel.

“I remember, I was one of those Republicans who, back in the day, believed the Bushes, believed all of the rationale and the, you know, there were weapons of mass — I believed all of their stuff,” Campos-Duffy said, continuing:

And when I found out they lied to me, it had a fundamental impact on my trust in government and my trust in these people, these neocons. And, so, when Donald Trump came along and said, “Stupid wars? No more stupid wars,” it really spoke to me. It was really what drew me into everything else that he was talking about. And that transformed the party.

So, it’s just odd to me that [Kamala] did bring, specifically that first night, you know, there’s a lot of likable figures in the Republican party who have, you know, maybe don’t like Donald Trump, and she could have brought them along for the ride, but she chose this woman who represents this war machine that so many Independents and Republicans were rejecting.

On the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, a Department of Energy veteran wrote, “The case for invading Iraq in March 2003 was built on three basic premises: that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMD); that it was developing more of them; and that it was failing to comply with its disarmament obligations under a series of United Nations Security Council resolutions. All of these premises were based on scraps of unreliable information. None of them was true.”
