On Thursday, Fox News host Bret Baier took umbrage when Trump attacked Fox News’ Jonathan Hunt as a “flunky” over his report on the Iran war.
Oh, the horror.
Trump responded, “Jonathan Hunt of Fox News did a particularly inaccurate report on the Failing Islamic Republic of Iran. I don’t want to meet; they do. In fact, they are begging to make a deal. Bret Baier should straighten out his flunkies, for a change! President DJT.”
Bret Baier would not have it.
BAIER: First of all, Jonathan Hunt’s not a flunky.
He’s a great reporter.
Second of all, Mr. President, we didn’t say you wanted to meet.
In fact, we played a soundbite that you didn’t want to meet, and there are no negotiations.
We said that Treasury Secretary BesSent is hoping to meet with G20 countries to increase the pressure on Iran and that Gulf state allies, including Qatar, are inside Tehran trying to get Iran to agree to concessions.
That was what it said.
Too bad Baier and every other Fox News host refused to call out Trump when he repeatedly lies and makes sh*t up against anyone that disagrees with him or caused him consternation in the past or present.
Ron has it right.
I just think it would be great if Bret would call out Trump’s daily lies about other people and things, instead of just when Trump lies about Bret. pic.twitter.com/vXZGexebq1
