Fox News' John Roberts just said the summit will cost Trump dearly, politically

He's talking to Shep Smith now. Shep has been quoting the criticism of Trump in his show today.

Trump supporters on Twitter are shrieking about Fox News betraying Trump.



Editing to add that Roberts just closed by saying that there's growing consensus across the country that Trump threw the US under the bus.



Editing to add that the criticism of Trump and this summit on Fox today is especially striking with Trump having arranged to give his first interviews after the summit with Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, and with Putin having been interviewed by Chris Wallace. Seems like more people than usual at Fox are rebelling against being used as Trump and Putin propaganda TV.

We can only hope. And, I'm running out of THAT. Everyone should stop calling it a "summit". It was anything but. Fox will fall in line by tomorrow because they know that they'll be Red Don's State TV when the coup is complete.

that said, it's (still) hard to see foxnews turning on donnie for long. they might criticize him but then quickly go back to supporting him.

this makes them look like they're not total propagandists, which, in fact, is just more propaganda.

As long as Ryan and McConnell run Congress, we're not going to see a goddamned thing happen.

Wake me when this is over (hopefully the day after the Midterms, if people in the "growing consensus" actually VOTE.

90% of those "supporters" are probably Russian trolls and bots.

They are all in on defending and covering up Trump’s treason with Russia.
