A conservative TV network changed its name after Donald Trump got it mixed up with a U.S. government agency.
Gina Loudon, a host on Real America’s Voice, said the network had to rebrand because Trump kept confusing it with Voice of America, which is run by the U.S. government.
“Fun little facts,” Loudon said during an interview Wednesday with Trump ally Kari Lake. “When I just started working for Real America’s Voice, it was just called America’s Voice. And I asked President Trump if I could come to the White House and talk to him about it. So I did. I went to the Oval Office with him and discussed this.”
“We were rebranding at that point from America’s Voice to Real America’s Voice because I kept hearing President Trump kind of confused Voice of America with America’s Voice,” she added. “And obviously those things were not related at all.”
“But it was confusing at the beginning, and thus we rebranded to Real America’s Voice,” Loudon said. “And President Trump definitely knows the difference at this point. But it was confusing.”
Lake, a former news anchor and now a political figure in Trump’s circle, closed the interview by praising the network.
“Thanks for the great work that you are doing there,” Lake said. “And getting out a message about this great country, you really are telling America’s story to Americans who are just so hungry for fair news that people can just stomach and listen to. And you guys do a great job every single morning.”
The network, known for promoting far-right voices and conspiracy theories, now goes by Real America’s Voice — all because Trump couldn’t tell it apart from a federal broadcaster.
