Chris Wallace said he has avoided having GOP lawmakers who've made false claims about Biden's victory on his Sunday show.
"I have purposefully not had them on, frankly, because I don't want to hear their crap," Wallace said.
If they do come on the show, Wallace made clear that he intends to hold them accountable.

Fox News host Chris Wallace said he's avoided having GOP reps who've espoused false claims about election fraud on his Sunday show.
Speaking to Stephen Colbert on an episode of "The Late Show" that aired Wednesday,
Wallace said he doesn't invite on lawmakers who've questioned the legitimacy of now President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
"I have purposefully not had them on, frankly, because I don't want to hear their crap," Wallace said.
If they do come on the show, Wallace made clear that he intends to hold them accountable.
"I won't let them come on without putting them through the wringer," he told Colbert. { https://youtu.be/Rp9BCsSYQeI }
That includes pressing the lawmakers on whether they truly believe that Biden is the "duly elected president of the United States," he said
Right after Biden won the presidential election in November, then President Donald Trump refused to explicitly acknowledge the victory.
In the hours after the race was called for Biden, Trump said the "election is far from over
In the months that followed, he doubled down on his rhetoric and sought to overturn the results in state and federal courts across the country.
The Trump campaign and the president's allies have filed, and lost, dozens of lawsuits in multiple battleground states contesting the results.
Allegations of voter fraud have been struck down and disproven numerous times since Trump and his lawyers presented their arguments.
Despite no evidence of voter fraud, numerous GOP lawmakers sided with Trump.
About 140 House Republicans indicated they'd vote against Biden's certification in January.
Some senators, like Ted Cruz from Texas, also amplified Trump's baseless claims.
Additionally, Trump supporters adamantly adhered to false claims of voter and election fraud.
Hundreds of Trump supporters descended onto the Capitol on January 6, the scheduled day for Congress to certify the results of the presidential election.
The Capitol riot, which began after Trump encouraged his supporters to protest the results of the election, has been characterized as an attempted coup
The Republicans who've egged on these claims have chosen to "say something they know is not true" to avoid losing out on the Trump voter base,
Wallace told Colbert.
And watching Americans latch on to these ideas during the Capitol riot was horrendous, Wallace said.
"As I'm sitting there and _watching it live on television and seeing this mob_ coming to the cathedral of our democracy
and sitting in the chair that the president of the senate sits in and running around the rotunda, I was sickened," he said.

The Taliban are lying, France's foreign minister says

PARIS (Reuters
-
The Taliban are lying and France will not have any relationship with its newly-formed government,
Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said late on Saturday before heading for talks in Qatar on
to discuss future evacuations from Afghanistan.
"They said they would let some foreigners and Afghans leave freely and (talked) of an inclusive and representative government,
but they are lying," Le Drian said on France 5 TV.
"France refuses to recognise or have any type of relationship with this government.
We want actions from the Taliban and they will need some economic breathing space and international relations.
It's up to them."
Paris has evacuated about 3,000 people and had held technical talks with the Taliban to enable those departures
Le Drian, who is heading to the Qatari capital Doha on Sunday,
said there were still a few French nationals and a few hundred Afghans with ties to France remaining in Afghanistan.

Chinese-controlled company fights Ottawa's order to divest assets on security grounds
Sat., September 11, 2021, 12:00 p.m.
OTTAWA — The Liberal government has directed a state-owned Chinese telecommunications firm to divest its stake in a Canadian subsidiary over national security concerns, prompting a court challenge of the order.
China Mobile International Canada is asking the Federal Court to set aside the recent decision, saying the government has no grounds to believe the company would compromise security or engage in espionage on behalf of Beijing.
CMI Canada says the Trudeau government was motivated, at least in part, by "the current political socioeconomic climate and the general biases against Chinese state-owned companies."
The case unfolds amid high tensions between Ottawa and Beijing over China's prolonged detention of Canadian citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor for alleged spying.
China's actions against Spavor and Kovrig are widely seen in the West as retaliation for the late 2018 arrest by Canadian authorities of Meng Wanzhou, an executive with Chinese firm Huawei Technologies, so she can be extradited to the U.S. to face fraud charges.
CMI Canada's application filed this week in Federal Court reveals details of an investment screening case that has quietly unfolded outside the public eye over the last year.
The company, established in 2015, provides mobile communication services, including prepaid call plans, but does not itself own or operate any telecommunications network facilities. Instead, it has partnered with Telus Communications Inc. for provision of wireless services through the Telus network.
CMI Canada says it inadvertently neglected to inform the federal government of its presence as a new Canadian business until October of last year. A series of requests for information from federal officials soon followed.
The Investment Canada Act and the National Security Review of Investments Regulations allow the federal government to scrutinize an investment in Canada by a foreign enterprise.
In January, the government informed CMI Canada of a review on security grounds, saying the investment could result in the Canadian business being leveraged by the Chinese state "for non-commercial purposes, such as the compromise of critical infrastructure and foreign interference, to the detriment of Canada’s national security."
Following additional information exchanges, the government issued an Aug. 9 order directing China Mobile to either divest itself entirely of or wind up the Canadian business within 90 days.
CMI Canada contends the conclusion was "tantamount to speculation about what the Canadian business may do," such as using its supposed access to sensitive information for "military applications or espionage."
The company argues Ottawa could not reasonably have concluded, based on the information available, that the investment would be harmful to Canada's national security.
It says the company does not own nor operate any transmission facilities in Canada, lacks privileged or direct access to any critical infrastructure, and does not have access to any sensitive telecommunications data or personal information, other than basic contact details.
CMI Canada is asking the court to quash the federal decision or, in the alternative, to send the matter back to the government for reconsideration. It also wants the order put on hold pending outcome of the case and any appeals.
If the decision is not stayed, the company will be forced to leave "the Canadian landscape entirely. This would require the termination of its client base and operations," the application says.
The federal government has not yet filed a response and no date has been set for a hearing.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 11, 2021.

Prince Andrew's lawyers question service of legal documents
Sat., September 11, 2021, 3:51 p.m.·2 min read
LONDON (AP)
— A U.S. court will hold a pretrial conference Monday in the civil suit filed by a woman who claims Prince
sexually assaulted her as the two sides argue over whether the prince was properly served with documents in the case.
Attorneys for the woman, Virginia Giuffre,
say the documents were handed over to a Metropolitan Police officer on duty at the main gates
of Andrew’s home in Windsor Great Park on Aug. 27.
But Blackfords, a law firm that said they represent Andrew “in certain U.K. matters,’’
have questioned whether the papers were properly served and raised the possibility of challenging the court's jurisdiction in the case, according to a Sept. 6 letter referenced in court documents filed by Giuffre’s attorneys.
“We reiterate that our client reserves all his rights, including to contest the jurisdiction of the US courts
(including on the basis of potentially defective service),” they wrote.
A U.S. judge will ultimately determine whether the papers were properly delivered.
Judge Lewis Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
will hold the first pretrial conference in the case via teleconference on Monday.
The prince has repeatedly denied the allegations in the lawsuit brought by Giuffre,
a longtime accuser of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
When the suit was filed last month, legal experts suggested it left Andrew with no good
as the second son of Queen Elizabeth II seeks to repair his image and return to public life.
If the prince tries to ignore the lawsuit, he runs the risk that the court could find him in default and order him to pay damages.
And if he decides to fight, Andrew faces years of sordid headlines as the case winds its way through court.
Guiffre’s attorney, David Boies, said in court documents that it was implausible that Andrew is unaware of the suit.
“Attorneys at Blackfords, who he has apparently instructed to evade and contest service,
have confirmed that Prince Andrew himself already has notice of this lawsuit and is evaluating his chances of success,’’
Boies wrote.
“And even if Blackfords had not confirmed as much, any other conclusion would be
— reputable media outlets around the world reported on the filing of plaintiff’s complaint, and hundreds
if not thousands, of articles about this lawsuit have been published.’’
The lawsuit is another unwanted story for the royals, reminding the public of Andrew’s links to Epstein two years after his death.
Britain’s royal family is also still recovering from allegations of racism and insensitivity leveled at them
by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, earlier this year.
