Dog The Bounty Hunter Goes Rogue On Fox News, Defends Hillary (VIDEO)

Of the five panelists sitting on the “Outnumbered” couch on Friday, the only one defending Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was the show’s grizzled guest, celebrity bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman.

Asked what he thought of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Dog, clad in all black, left the rest on the sofa shocked.

“I don’t think he could beat the dynamic duo,” he said calmly.

“Who’s the dynamic duo?” co-host Andrea Tantaros asked, excitedly.

“The Clintons,” Dog said, with a smile. The hosts groaned and asked him why he would support Hillary for President.

“I want someone in there with experience. We’re at war,” he said.

Co-host Sandra Smith countered that one of Clinton’s major weaknesses will be proving her credentials on foreign policy (namely, war.)

“I dunno, I heard her once say if they keep doing this, we’re gonna make it a parking lot,” Dog responded. It’s possible he was referencing remarks from 2008, when Clinton said that if she were President, the U.S. would be ready to “totally obliterate” Iran.

“I’m a Republican but I have faith in the dynamic duo,” Dog said.

“That makes me so sad right now,” sighed co-host Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery. “Like, I love everything about you. I think you’re powerful and heroic but the fact that you endorse Hillary Clinton—it makes me sadder than ‘The Notebook.'”

Tantaros cut in, quickly segueing to a segment on new allegations against the Clinton Foundation.

Later on, Kennedy once again bemoaned Dog’s defense of Hillary — though that time he decided to add that he wasn’t necessarily endorsing her. Dog asked her what female candidate Kennedy would support.

“Don’t say Palin,” he said.

“If we’re gonna be honest, I really like Peggy Noonan,” Kennedy, a self-described independent, responded, referring to the Wall Street Journal columnist. Dog remained silent.

    Because six years as a very successful Secretary of State isn’t enough?

  3. It’s refreshing to see someone on Fox, and especially on “Outnumbered”, who realizes that it’s all bullshit and doesn’t mind twisting the “hostesses” tails.

  4. Like watching civilization decay right before your eyes.

  5. Nooners is a candidate?

    OK, I see she’s not. Kennedy is even dumber than I previously believed she could be.
