'Not illegal': Fox News host busts Republican senator over his anti-Biden rant
Fox News host Bill Hemmer ended Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-IA) rant against former President Joe Biden by pointing out that it was "not illegal" to sign documents with an autopen.
During an interview on Thursday, Hemmer noted that Democrats had called President Donald Trump's investigation into Biden's use of an autopen a distraction.
"Do you think Republicans are on to something here?" the Fox News host asked Grassley.
"I think that the president made a wise decision that the Department of Justice ought to get to the bottom of it," the GOP senator opined. "There's been a lot of legal and constitutional questions that have been raised. They need to be answered."
"And the American people are entitled to know what the truth is, whether or not the law was being abided by, or whether President Biden was avoiding his responsibilities," he continued. "My hunch of the moment is that they're going to come up with a lot of things that the President did not sign, maybe thousands of things that's signed by autopen."
"It's my understanding," Hemmer responded, "it's not illegal to use an auto pen, is it?"
"I can't answer that question for you," Grassley admitted. "Maybe I should be able to, but I can't, and I'm not going to comment on something I don't know for sure."
