Fox & Friends Works Overtime to Explain Directly to Trump What He Got Wrong (Mediaite, VIDEO)
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-friends-works-overtime-to-explain-directly-to-trump-what-he-got-wrong/Fox’s Brian Kilmeade took the lead, emphasizing in the above clip, and again several times later during the show, that what happened on Monday was “correctable.”
Kilmeade first made an observation, one that the hosts hammered several times. “The President is under the impression, and I don’t know why, still, that if he says the Russians hacked, it makes his election look illegitimate.”
He then began to speak directly to the President. “I have news for you, Senator Schumer and Hillary Clinton will never get over the fact that you won the election. Neither will 16 Republicans get over the fact that you won the primary,” he said. “Did the Russians help with you that? No.”
He added that Russia’s goal was to “upend our electoral process” because they “hate democracy.”
“I will say this to the President,” Kilmeade continued, “when Newt Gingrich, when Gen. Jack Keane, when Matt Schlapp say the President fell short and made our intelligence apparatus look bad, I think it’s time to pay attention.”
“I think it’s easily correctable,” said Kilmeade, who seems to have one of the best grasps at the network on what was wrong with what Trump said, and how to correct it.
Co-host Steve Doocy also said that people get confused about the difference between collusion and meddling. “Pretty much everyone and their brother, except Vladimir Putin, knows that there was meddling,” he said.
The hosts repeated and repeated that the President can say there was meddling without tarnishing that thing which is most important to him, his victory in 2016.

I watched a few minutes this morning at 7:30 and again at 8:00, that's all I could take. They were talking to 45 for sure.
