Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo pointed out that the Wagner revolt in Russia seems to be the distraction as Hunter Biden’s Whatsapp message should be the main story of the week.

GALLAGHER: Can I tell you how little I care about the Wagner mutiny in Russia? We got our own crises here in the United States and what Maria Bartiromo said over the weekend resonated at least with me. Oh, I know all the smart kids want to talk about Putin’s future and there was a short lived revolt and the media was in overdrive. I need this was the biggest story. Nobody cares about this. Do you know what the White House needs? A distraction. Have you heard about Hunter Biden’s text message to a Chinese Business associate? Spoiler alert. The big guy is right in the middle of it all, but here is what Maria said over the weekend about the White House, needing a distraction now more than ever.

BARTIROMO: “The White House wanted to give the media something else to cover. And this is the M.O., this is the way they do things. In fact, on Friday I said, ‘Wow, what a blockbuster Whatsapp message, I’m sure there will be an enormous story over the weekend that the White House will be pushing to take this story off of the front page.’ And sure enough, we’ve got the State Department drumming up all the drama that took place over the weekend in Russia. So, I don’t know if it’s going to break through. The mainstream media has an excuse again not to cover it. They’re covering everything about Russia and the Wagner Group.”
CAMPOS-DUFFY: “Yeah, it’s true.”
BARTIROMO: “As if it really matters to the U.S. right now.”
