“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade was not having it when Trump campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley came on the show and called the network’s pollsters “fake” for showing former Vice President Joe Biden beating Donald Trump by a large margin.
“You touched on some polls, most of those are fake,” Gidley said. “They over-sample Democrats.”
Gidley then went on to say that his boss is actually winning because his supporters show more enthusiasm online than those who support Biden.
That’s when Kilmeade interjected to defend his network’s pollsters.
“I know the people who do the polls, they’re not fake,” Kilmeade said. “They don’t do it fake, they do a really good job. They might not be accurate in the end, I don’t know, but they do a great job.”
Gidley tried to claim that the pollsters’ methodology was bad, but Kilmeade wasn’t having any of it.
“They’re professionals,” he said. “Don’t call the Fox News pollsters fake.”
Take a look at the altercation in the video clip below:
