Donald Trump is fuming at his former ally Rupert Murdoch after the Fox News chairman made astonishing admissions that some hosts at his conservative network “endorsed” lies that the 2020 election had been “stolen” from Trump.
In a deposition unsealed on Monday, the 91-year-old media mogul said that he wished his organization had been “stronger in denouncing” the false narrative that the election was rigged by corrupt voting machines.
Naturally, Trump lost it.
“Why is Rupert Murdoch throwing his anchors under the table, which also happens to be killing his case and infuriating his viewers, who will again be leaving in droves—they already are,” Trump fumed on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday.
“There is MASSIVE evidence of voter fraud & irregularities in the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump insisted before pointing to Dinesh D’Souza’s conspiracy film 2000 Mules as evidence.
“Just look at the documentary “2000 MULES” and you will see large scale ballot stuffing caught on government cameras, or votes cast without Legislatures approval, or just recently, the FBI/Twitter Files Scandal. RIGGED!!!
Minutes later, he returned to his feed and posted: “There was so much Voter Fraud & Irregularities in the 2020 Presidential Election that it amazes me how weak and ineffective FoxNews is at portraying itself in the lawsuit against them. They look too scared and frightened to reveal the massive amounts of voter fraud & Irregularities already found, and it would actually help them in the lawsuit. Instead FoxNews wants to silence its anchors and reporters, the reason so many of their viewers fled. The Election was that of a Third World Country!”
Dominion Voting Systems is suing Fox News for $1.6 billion over the issue—but the network denies defamation, claiming they were just “reporting” Trump’s false claims.
