Fox News on Sunday aired a disclaimer contradicting misleading and blatantly false claims made by former President Trump about the election results during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas.
“And now, it’s also because I got more votes, 75 million, than anybody in the history of the presidency, and far more than Clinton, far more than Obama, and a record 12 million more than 2016,” Trump said of what he has continued to describe as an effort to “rig” the election against him. “Think of it, in the history usually they go down a little bit second term and they win, but they go down a little bit.”
As Trump continued to lie about the result of the election, Fox News, which was carrying the former president’s speech live, replaced its chyron with a disclaimer.
“The voting system companies have denied the various allegations made by President Trump and his counsel regarding the 2020 election,” the screen says.
While the conservative network has spent the past several weeks allowing their prime-time hosts to spread lies about the COVID-19 vaccine. The network appears to be drawing a line when it comes to the election.
