President Trump took aim at Fox News hosts on Monday night, reacting to a recent interview where the one of the hosts did not correct a guest on their “propaganda and lies,” and called for another to be dismissed.
Commenting on a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Massachusetts Rep. Jake Auchincloss, a Democrat, Trump wrote, “Tell Shannon Bream of FoxNews that it’s not the Save Act, it’s the Save America Act, a big difference! Also, when she insists on having lightweight Democrat Congressmen, such as Jake Auchincloss, on her not very hard hitting show, she should correct them when they spew out Democrat propaganda and lies. She never does! I always close deals, unlike the Dems, and did great with China in every way, also, unlike the Dems!”
Addressing the network’s leaders, President Trump wrote, “For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst ‘personalities’ on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her.”
Trump previously criticized Tarlov, telling Fox News’ Jesse Watters that he is “not a fan.”
Watters asked, “Mr. President, the next time you do this on The Five, can we have you on set? Because we really want you to sit next to Jessica. I think you’d be a good influence on her. Can you do that?”
“I watch Jessica, and I’m not a fan,” Trump said. “And she uses fake numbers. She’ll give, ‘Well, he’s only polling 42%.’ That’s not right. Polling very high, actually.” He went on to condemn “bad journalists” who write what he called “fake stories,” but noted, “I’m sure I’d like her. I’m sure she’s a lovely person.”
