Maria Bartiromo Screamed At William Barr On The Phone Over Biden's Win: Book
The Fox News host, who let Trump spew his election lies, griped to Barr that the Justice Department hadn't 'stopped the steal.'
In mid-November 2020, the Fox News and Fox Business host “called Barr to complain that the DOJ hadn’t done anything to stop the Democrats from stealing the election,” journalist Jonathan Karl recounted in “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show.”
“She called me up and she was screaming,” Barr told Karl in an excerpt shared by CNN on Sunday. “I yelled back at her. She’s lost it.”

Karl wrote that Bartiromo didn’t respond but a Fox spokesperson “denied Barr’s account of the conversation on Bartiromo’s behalf.” It was Barr who set the aggressive tone, the rep said. HuffPost has reached out to Fox for further comment.
Karl also described Bartiromo in unflattering terms. She was someone who “had once been a widely respected and trailblazing financial journalist. ... Now she had her own show on Fox News and she was using it to boost a series of unfounded allegations designed to overturn a presidential election,” he wrote.

She never had it to begin with. Google her name + Jeopardy! SNL couldn’t have come up with contestants for a Celebrity Jeopardy skit who were dumber than she was.

I had no idea MB is this stupid. I used to watch her sometimes as I day traded. Everyone was always sort of gushing over her similarity to Sophia Loren (she's the SL of the stock market!). I'm a little disappointed that she is this ignorant of the real world. I knew she was a conservative and Republican, but not a TRUMP Republican. There is a difference

R4. You obviously never saw a Fox video clip of Bartiromo interviewing Trump or another Repig as she kisses their asses, feeds them softball questions and climbs up inside their manholes. It's nauseating. She's more Trump than Trump. She incites controversy perpetuating "the big steal" every chance she gets.

Barr deserved to be yelled at but not for that but for nearly everything else he did. I hope the Trump rot stink stays on him for a life time and beyond.

These Trumpers are really idiots. He takes their phone calls and then they suddenly spout falsehoods to keep him happy and maintain access. They must be incredibly insecure and miserable.

Her appeal was that she had big tits. I never got her appeal as some sort of financial wizard. She was obviously enamored of tRump in many of those interviews where he babbled on and on about submarines being ships that go under water and she was like "Really? OOOH!"
Maybe she's into having her pussy grabbed. No doubt tRump would've tried.

This chick is in the mob, isn’t she?
I HATE people like this who have the upper hand against decent people. She would do any dirty deed to get her way and normal, sane people can’t compete with that. What are they supposed to do? She constantly has these evil vendettas against people and they can’t fight back.

MB always looks like she very recently finished a sloppy, heavy make-out session with some rando, then fell asleep at her desk, waking up minutes prior to going on tv.

On a fundamental level, the Trumpers can’t admit that he was really unpopular. He lost states like Arizona and Georgia because people didn’t want him. They are in their own echo chamber.

Sophia Loren? She looks like a smaller-titted Kyle Rittenhouse in wig.

Bartiromo is reportedly worth $50 million personally. She married Jonathan Steinberg, the son of a billionaire.
In 1999, Bartiromo married Jonathan Steinberg, chief executive officer of WisdomTree Investments and son of billionaire financier Saul Steinberg. She had first met him in 1990, soon after her college graduation. The ceremony was held at the home of the bridegroom and was officiated over by a rabbi.
The couple own a beach house in the hamlet of Westhampton, New York. They have also lived in a five story townhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

R5 Yes, I stopped day trading years before the Trump political/Presidential era. Too stressful. I knew she was a suckup to CEOs, COOs and big biz interests. The other suck-up was Larry Kudlow. Well, really all the commentators on that stock market station were bad suck-uppers. It was so tiring listening to the lies and horseshit the guests regularly spewed. I hated day trading. I made bank but it was hell on my psyche and body. Fuck the stock market. It's a ponzi scheme.

Man, she really went full-blown nuts, huh? Somewhere Joey Ramone is regretting he ever wrote a song about her.

The day after the 2016 election, she started calling trump “our commander in chief” and I haven’t listen to a word she’s said since then.

It's puzzling how a person from a modest Italian American family in NYC ends up like this. She was charming initially and all the heteros wanted to fuck her until she revealed herself to be a right wing lunatic
