listen to some talk radio, you'll hear a consistent message, that "unity is impossible." So that they can obstruct Biden the way they did Obama.

This video supports that talking point, because Frank Luntz's job is the same as it always is. It has never been to report public opinion accurately, it's been to spin it to favor the GOP. This is why this happened on Fox News.
