Fox News Turns On Trump After Putin Press Conference Disaster


Fox News hosts are ripping Trump from throwing America under the bus by delivering a disgusting press conference with Putin.

Video Fox News host Neil Cavuto @ link...

Former Dep. Asst. Attorney General Tom Dupree said on Fox Business, “What I was hoping to see today and what we didn’t see a forceful condemnation of Russia’s interference —

Neil Cavuto, “There was none of that. Not even a hint of that. Zilch.”

Dupree continued, “That is what I wanted to see. All well and good for the president to talk about the Strzok and server and Hillary Clinton and all of that. But this wasn’t the time and the place this is the time and place for the president to look Putin squarely in the eye and said you will be punished for what you did in 2016, don’t ever think about doing that again.”

Cavuto added, “But he didn’t. That made it disgusting. That made his performance disgusting. Only way I feel. Not a right or left thing to me. It is wrong. U.S. President foreign soil talking to our biggest enemy or adversary or competitor, I don’t know how we define them away, essentially letting the guy get away with this, not even, offering a mild, a mild criticism. That sets us back a lot.”

1. Amazing for cavuto

However, tucker Carlson on the usual full denial/dismissive mode

[smirkymonkey]

2. Fuck that little wanker.

He is completely worthless and so is anything he says.

[mnmoderatedem]

10. and we have not even gotten to Hannity yet.

[tavernier]

3. Thanks.

Was wondering what FOX news was reporting on this. Unfortunately or fortunately I can’t get that channel.

4. Don't worry

Tucker, Sean, and Laura will be kissing orange ass this evening, calling Helsinki the best foreign relations move since the Reagan years.

5. Yeah, this will blow over pretty quickly. By morning all will be back to normal.

For all we know, a few Fox employees (not the big names, mind you) were told to briefly follow an anti-Trump script to make it seem like Fox really is "fair and balanced."

6. It has to mean that they're getting an earful from their viewers

8. One can hope. I still

bicker with some diehards. They claim an indictment means nothing, doesn't mean anyone is guilty.

I reminded them it doesn't exactly mean they're innocent either.

9. A guest with Velshi just now said that right wingers don't see a problem today

Velshi is sitting in for Chris Hayes.

[babylonsister]

12. And that's a big part of the problem.

If they weren't there, dt wouldn't have a reason to sally forth. Gotta say, the stupidity is mind-boggling.

7. You're Kidding! Not as if it hasn't been Obvious leading up to this..

But, I am grateful Cavuto said.. Maybe just maybe some trumphans would rather be more American than Russian.

And, anyway.. why pray tell would trump bite the hand that feeds him the "presidency".. he wants to do it right up front on a World stage.. so BE IT.

11. Tucker C is 100 percent backing Trump on Fox right now

And I am confident Hannity will do the same on his show.

[McCamy Taylor]

13. But, but..."President Putin was extremely strong and powerful"

Someone help me. I am going to die laughing.

14. Laura and Sean are already at it...

"Donald is just soooo dreamy, he can do no wrong..."

(From Media Matters)

Laura Ingraham excuses Trump's disastrous press conference: Foreign policy is "complex," and Trump is "new to it"

Hannity praises Trump during interview for being "very strong at the end of the press conference"
