OAN Idiot Chanel Rion Says Biden Is 'Groomer-In-Chief,' Lots Of Other Idiot Words Too
Yes, she still exists!
It seems almost cruel to make fun of One America News at this point on a national website. Hell, they've been kicked off so many platforms, kinda feels like breaking into an old folks home and knocking Nana off her chair while she's doing a puppet show for her friends.
But shit, George Soros doesn't pay Wonkette to be nice. Or for anything. He ought to start paying us.
Anyway, Chanel Rion, y'all remember her jackass? We used to make fun of her on the regular back when Donald Trump was in the White House and they let any old OAN mouthbreather into the press room. She's the one who used to get a serious journalist look on her face and ask Trump if the term "Chinese food" was racist.
Her internet bio says she "has been frequently described as one of Hillary Clinton's 'worst nightmares'." No really it says that.
Her website says she is the author of a popular mystery book series for girls that is totally different from other mystery books for girls, which are full of "manophobia, hatred, gender-confusion and blame." Wonkette investigated these books, and ... well, we couldn't find them.
She was homeschooled. :(
But about all that manophobia, hatred, gender confusion and blame! Rion went on her OAN show, which exists, and had some real fightin' words for Joe Biden, AKA the "groomer-in-chief," and also a bunch more fightin' words for transgender people and trans kids and a whole bunch of other stuff. It was exactly the kind of stream-of-consciousness babbling you'd expect from a journalist as esteemed as Rion.
CHANEL RION: The reality is, trans activists pushing gender mutilation on children are aiding and abetting in crimes against humanity.
Wow, if somebody was doing that, it sure would be bad!
RION: And if the trans movement is about normalizing child mutilation, the trans movement belongs in the eternal flames of hell!
Good thing there's no "normalize child mutilation" movement out there.
RION: Why would the president of the United States support such a radical agenda? It's easy to say, like all the other big issues of the day, he's just following orders, he's the whipping boy of Obama and AOC.
Is that what people say?
RION: But in this case, it's even more simple. Before Biden became the masterpiece in senility he is today, he was a bona fide creep, a class A pervert. Watching this week's clips of the ignored dementia patient wandering around in the shadow of a shadow government King Hussein Obama,
"Wandering around in the shadow of a shadow government King Hussein Obama." Just want to emphasize that a human said that with their mouth. She's also trying to make the hashtag #ShadowGovKing happen on Twitter.
RION: it's tempting to feel sorry for old Joe. Don't. Your sympathy is grounded in your remnant memories of sweet old grandpa. Joe Biden isn't your sweet old grandpa. Everyone gets old, even perverts.
Even perverts.
RION: Spare him your ounce of sympathy, if only in honor of his victims!
We're pretending Joe Biden has "victims" now, everybody spare Joe Biden your ounce of sympathy!
At this point Rion goes on a tirade about Tara Reade and far-right conspiracy theories about things that allegedly appear in Ashley Biden's stolen diary, and "Biden's uncomfortable fascination with the hair and necks of women and children." All this is somehow supposed to be worse than the fact that the previous president has been accused of rape, sexual assault or harassment by too many people to count on your fingers and toes.
Which brings her to call Joe Biden a name she wouldn't have called him a year ago because a year ago wingnuts hadn't made up this "groomer" smear yet:
RION: Biden is the groomer-in-chief. He's open to the language of fellow groomers, but sympathy for groomers only enable them further. Look at their newly nominated Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, America's queen of child porn apologists.
Oh now she's the "queen." Chanel Rion has studied sentencing practices and determined based on her Do Your Own Research that Ketanji Brown Jackson is the "queen of child porn apologists."
We mentioned Rion was homeschooled, yeah?
Rion word salads a while longer about her argument, which we think is that Biden and the trans activists want to do female genital mutilation to children, it's beyond parody, and then comes to her big conclusion:
RION: Don't be fooled by their wordplay. Their true motive isn't about protecting the gender identities of children. This is about satisfying their own warped perversions.
What?
RION: And if you want to take it a layer deeper, it's about canceling reproduction.
What?
RION: This is population control. Sterilize your children, abort your babies, discourage nuclear families, and encourage non-reproducing unions.
What?
RION: Don't let them get away with this. Don't let them get away with terms like gender-affirming health care for children. Call it what it is: gender mutilation and child abuse illegal under current US law.
What?
RION: Don't give them an inch in the language wars. As this issue illustrates, lose the language war, lose our children. And that's my opening argument.
Madam, the Arby's is down the street if you need to talk to somebody.
So, class, what have we learned today? We are not entirely sure. But we listened to Chanel Rion's free speech and that is a thing that happened, the end.

LIVE: Biden Takes Your Guns
Tyranny on WonkTV!
OK not really, Joe Biden is not taking your personal guns on live TV. He is, however, announcing some important gun safety measures.
Politico Playbook explained this morning part of what this is all about:
First: a new policy on “ghost guns.” Today, the administration will unveil a new rule to try and curb so-called ghost guns, untraceable firearms that lack serial numbers and are made from kits purchased online. The new rule isn’t a ban, but a change in how the government treats the kits, forcing buyers to “go through the same process they would have to go through to purchase a commercially made firearm,” a senior administration official told reporters on a call Sunday night. A.G. MERRICK GARLAND pens an op-ed for USA Today, posted this morning: “Ghost guns are real guns. And we'll regulate them to save lives”
Also: a new nominee to head ATF, named Steve Dettelback. PREDICTION: conservatives won't like him, because conservatives hate ATF and have been trying to destroy it forever.
Anyway, here's your Wonkette livestream! And then sometime after that, we'll have a Wonkette blog post explaining all of this more fully!

But What Are The Nice And Good And Non-Horribles Saying About Ketanji Brown Jackson?
We'll leave the choads for morning.
Today the Senate voted 53-47 to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court, and we have a question: What title do we use for her in the time between today and her actual swearing-in sometime after the actual retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer? We bet nobody would mind if you call her "Justice Jackson" even if it's a little early. Let's take a moment to see what people who matter are saying about Jackson's historic confirmation, which means that you can read on in peace and contentment, because we'll hold off on the inevitable jerkwad reactions for tomorrow.
After presiding over the historic vote — we are unabashedly going to say "historic" a lot today! — Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters she was "overjoyed" and "deeply moved" by the confirmation:
There’s so much about what’s happening in the world now, that is presenting some of the worst of ... human behaviors. And then we have a moment like this, that I think reminds us that there is still so much yet to accomplish and that we can accomplish, including a day like today that is so historic and so important, for so many reasons.
Harris also said Jackson's confirmation
is a very important statement about who we are as a nation, that we have just made a decision to put this extraordinary jurist on the highest court of our land.
It’s a good statement about who we are.
Harris and President Biden will meet with Jackson tomorrow at the White House for an event to celebrate her confirmation.
President Biden got right on Twitter to congratulate Jackson, and he didn't even praise himself for being the great president who made such an excellent choice. Instead, he praised Judge Jackson!
Judge Jackson\u2019s confirmation was a historic moment for our nation. We\u2019ve taken another step toward making our highest court reflect the diversity of America. She will be an incredible Justice, and I was honored to share this moment with her.pic.twitter.com/K8SAh25NL5— President Biden (@President Biden) 1649357028

On the floor of the Senate, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) said, "Even in the darkest times, there are bright lights. Today is one of the brightest lights. Let us hope it’s a metaphor, an indication of many bright lights to come." [New York Times]
Here's poor Mitt Romney applauding Jackson's confirmation all by his lonesome on the Republican side of the aisle. You know what? That's far better than being with the rest of the wieners walking out.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren made a point that's thrilled us ever since Jackson was on the short list for the nomination: At long last, the Supreme Court will soon have a public defender, along with all those prosecutors and litigators.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation is extraordinary, for more than one reason: She\u2019s the first public defender and the first Black woman on the Supreme Court\u2014delivering powerfully important experience to the bench. This is a joyful & historic victory for equal justice!— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1649355728

This one's actually from yesterday, but the photo is too good not to include: Rep. Terri A.Sewell (D-Alabama) Tweeted the support of the women of the Congressional Black Caucus for Jackson's upcoming vote, and where can people order those "BLACK WOMEN ARE SUPREME" Tee shirts? Oh at the NAACP? Thanks, Twitter!

Know what would have been good? Not just a Black woman veep to preside over the vote, but some Black women in the Senate to help confirm Jackson. Let's see about electing Black women senators!
But back to the positives: Rep. Ayana Pressley (D-Massachusetts) shared her congratulations on Twitter, too:
Judge Jackson\u2019s history-making confirmation sends a powerful signal to Black girls that we belong everywhere.pic.twitter.com/N8Sz60OcGf— Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (@Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley) 1649356290
First Lady Jill Biden joined the celebration as well:
Judge Jackson, no one will forget the look on your daughter\u2019s face or your husband\u2019s pride throughout your confirmation \u2014 your journey will continue to inspire generations to come.pic.twitter.com/crXhXLP7iI— Jill Biden (@Jill Biden) 1649355889
Judge Jackson, no one will forget the look on your daughter’s face or your husband’s pride throughout your confirmation — your journey will continue to inspire generations to come.
Kamala Harris's husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, also tweeted his congratulations, adding,
As a father... as a husband... as a lawyer… as an American... I was so proud and inspired to witness Judge Jackson's confirmation. History is made.
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland — who know a thing of two about firsts, being one of the first two Native American women in Congress and the first Native American person appointed to a presidential Cabinet — had a simple reminder: Representation matters!
Representation matters! The confirmation of Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson helps to fulfill the promise of America. Our country is made better when diversity triumphs.https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1512139093135835153\u00a0\u2026— Secretary Deb Haaland (@Secretary Deb Haaland) 1649359002

Damn right, Madame Secretary.
