Trump rips Fox News’s election morning coverage

Former President Trump railed against Fox News on Tuesday morning for playing clips of a speech Oprah Winfrey gave in support of Vice President Harris.

Calling Oprah a “divider” who should be “ashamed of herself,” Trump took aim at the top-watched cable news channel for covering the talk show host’s remarks.

“You know who else should be ashamed of themselves is Fox,” Trump told reporters as he was voting in Florida on Friday morning. “‘Cause I’ve seen Oprah on Fox about 50 times making the same statement, and I think it’s a disgrace.”

Trump added “everybody thinks Fox is so pro-Trump. They’re not pro-Trump at all.”

Fox News anchors brush off Trump criticism ahead of election night

The former president has repeatedly ridiculed the cable news giant in the weeks leading up to Election Day.

He most recently complained about Democratic campaign ads airing on the network and said during an appearance on the channel earlier this month he would appeal to Rupert Murdoch directly over the networks coverage of him.

In an interview with The Hill on Sunday, Fox’s election night anchors — Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum — brushed off potential criticism from Trump of their coverage.

“If you see his Truth Social posts, I don’t think there’s a lot of discrimination,” Baier said. “We’ve covered the election fairly. That’s just part of the deal with the former president. … We’ve been at the focus for a while now, and that’s OK with us.”
