Donald Trump on Thursday continued to rage at Fox News and his one-time ally Rupert Murdoch for admitting his regret that the network’s top personalities had “endorsed” the former president’s false election fraud claims in 2020, as revealed by the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against the conservative network.
The former president has been fuming after messages among Fox hosts, producers, executives, and Murdoch’s sworn deposition were recently uncovered in bombshell filings from Dominion’s $1.6bn lawsuit against the network.
Diving into Truth Social site, Trump slammed the “MAGA Hating Globalist RINOS” at Fox who refuse to believe his false claim that the vote was “Rigged” and “Stollen” [sic], saying they should “get out of the News Business”.
“If Rupert Murdoch honestly believes that the Presidential Election of 2020, despite MASSIVE amounts of proof to the contrary, was not Rigged & Stolen, then he & his group of MAGA Hating Globalist RINOS should get out of the News Business as soon as possible, because they are aiding & abetting the DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA with FAKE NEWS,” Trump wrote.
He added: “Certain BRAVE & PATRIOTIC FoxNews Hosts, who he scorns and ridicules, got it right. He got it wrong. THEY SHOULD BE ADMIRED & PRAISED, NOT REBUKED & FORSAKEN!!!”
He then aimed his ire at former House speaker turned board member Paul Ryan, accusing him of influencing Murdoch into backing away from the narrative and urging him to step down and claiming that Ryan “will be fired like a dog.”
“Rumors are flying high that idiot RINO Paul Ryan, who has greatly hurt the “credibility” of Rupert Murdoch with his ridiculous stance that the 2020 Election was all “peaches and cream,” will be fired “like a dog” from the Fox Board,” Trump fumed. “Fox is going in the wrong direction, ratings are heading down, and Murdoch just threw certain very good people, who were correct, under the bus. He played right into the enemies camp. Viewers, and MAGA, are not happy!”
In a second post, he wrote: “Rupert Murdoch should apologize to his viewers and readers for his ridiculous defense of the 2020 Presidential Election. How many forms of cheating and rigging does he have to see? He should also apologize to those anchors who got it right, and fire the ones who got it wrong, or were afraid to speak up (of which there were many!). It’s time to get rid of Fake News, and call it like it is!”
