Chris Wallace on Biden’s Speech: ‘This Was the Best Inaugural Address I Ever Heard’

[Guno צְבִי]

The first impression of President Joe Biden’s inauguration speech that Fox News viewers received on Wednesday was from anchor Chris Wallace, who uniformly praised it as “the best inaugural address” he has ever heard.

Following Biden’s powerful address in which he declared “democracy has prevailed” and called upon Americans to “end this uncivil war,” the 73-year-old Wallace turned to his Fox colleagues and likened it to all the other presidential speeches he’s witnessed over the years, including that of President John F. Kennedy in 1961.

“I thought this was the best inaugural address I have ever heard,” he flatly stated. “A lot of this event today, a lot of the president’s speech, was colored by the emotion of the fact that exactly two weeks ago, 14 days ago, there was a mob, a buzz of insurrectionists, of domestic terrorists on the inaugural stand.”

Invoking Biden’s remarks about democracy prevailing, the Fox News Sunday moderator said the new president delivered a message of unity, assuring Americans that they “were able to get through” the insurrectionist riot that former President Donald Trump—unmentioned in Biden’s speech—incited.

I have admired Chris Wallace for his entire career, and was a huge fan of his dad as well.

He is the most A-political Journalist I know of. Chris never pulls any punches, as he asks everyone tough questions. If you are to be interviewed by him, you better have some intelligent and honest answers together, or he will make you out to be a fool in short shrift!

When asked about his political opinions, Wallace stated, "Do I have political opinions? Absolutely. But I vote for the person, and I've voted for Republicans and Democrats and independents over the course of my life. I feel very strongly that you try not to let that affect the way you report the news." Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes called Wallace "one of the best interviewers in the business. ... I have no idea what he thinks personally, but he asks tough questions of everybody."
