Fox News's Maria Bartiromo was all up in her feels on her show over the Biden administration encouraging people to vote. Her source for suggesting that this is a form of rigging the election is the far-right outlet, The Federalist. I'm only shocked that Nick Fuentes wasn't her source. Specifically, she pointed to the site's post, '9 Ways The Feds Are Using 'Bidenbucks' To Rig The 2024 Election." And that's all she needed to hear.

Are Bidenbucks this year's Obamaphones? I have no idea what that's supposed to be. The entire blog post drips with victimization. She is a font of misinformation.

"I'm reading a story this morning from The Federalist, and it's called Nine Ways the Feds Are Using Biden Bucks to Rig the 2024 Election," she said. "And it goes through all the federal agencies that Joe Biden has put on watch to actually engage voters and supply voter registration services on agency premises."

"And that includes the Office of Personal Management, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Labor, the Department of Interior, the Department of the Treasury, okay? "'she continued.

"So what are you all doing about it on the Republican side as the government, Biden's government, Biden's administration, seems to be using a whole-on government approach to get people to vote Democrat?" she asked GOP Rep. Steve Scalise.

"Yeah, you know, and you've seen the weaponization of government," Scalise insisted. "In fact, we set up a committee just to look into the weaponization of government."

Scalise said that if the election were held today, Republicans would win. Scalise and Bartiromo both know that if Americans vote, Republicans don't win. That's a fact, and that's why Maria is freaking out.

She dedicated a lot of air time to Biden having the audacity to encourage voting.
