Trump Takes Aim at Fox News’ Laura Ingraham Over ‘Hit Piece’ on Poll Numbers: ‘There Go Her Ratings!’

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump has a hot and cold relationship with Fox News. On Monday, Trump blasted Fox News host Laura Ingraham—accusing her of running a “hit piece” on him.

The interview featured Ingraham and conservative author Chris Bedford discussing several polls showing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would do better in a matchup against President Biden than Trump.

Trump responded on his Truth Social platform just minutes after the interview, writing: 

“Laura Ingraham on FoxNews just did a hit piece on me (there go her ratings!) showing some polls which indicate that Ron DeSanctimonious may do better against Biden than I would, when actually polls show that I do MUCH better against Biden than ‘Rob.’” 

Trump challenged the validity of the polls Ingraham and Bedford cited, writing:

“The poll your looking at now, which has me doing far better against Crooked Joe, was just put out by FOX, I am sure unhappily. I’m also leading DeSanctus by over 40 points in Primary Voting. Watch Greg Kelly on Newsmax at 10:00 P.M.”

Chris Bedford, who serves as executive editor of Common Sense Society, reportedly angered Trump when he implied that almost any leading Republican would do better against President Biden than the former President.

“Joe Biden is running pretty badly behind a generic Republican figure like a Ron DeSantis or Tim Scott,” Bedford said. “But he’s consistently beating Donald Trump.”

Ingraham noted the economy and immigration are two top issues for Republicans but indicated Republicans are coming up short in addressing those concerns. Trump took issue with that statement—he considers his record on the economy and border as high points of his presidency.

Trump has been critical of Fox News executives and several hosts whom he refers to as RINO’s. Especially troubling to Trump is the network’s praise of DeSantis, its refusal to state the 2020 election was rife with voter fraud, and the network’s coverage of the January 6, 2021 protest and breach on the Capitol.

The network’s abrupt dismissal of Tucker Carlson further alienated Trump and many Conservatives from the network. Reportedly, viewership in Tucker’s prime time slot continues to be down more than a million viewers since his dismissal on April 24.

Liz Cheney Reveals Lengths She Would Go To Stop Trump In 2024

Published

on

Former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said she is contemplating a third-party presidential run, warning of the dangers that would come from former President Donald Trump serving as president next year for a second term.

Speaking to the Washington Post on Monday while promoting her new book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, Cheney said she would not have thought about a third-party run several years ago but feels the former president’s presidential bid threatens democracy.

“I happen to think democracy is at risk at home, obviously, as a result of Donald Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, and I think democracy is at risk internationally as well,” Cheney said.

Cheney, once a rising star in the Republican Party before becoming one of Trump’s most outspoken GOP critics, said she would make a final decision within the next few months.

“We face threats that could be existential to the United States, and we need a candidate who is going to be able to deal with and address and confront all of those challenges,” Cheney said. “That will all be part of my calculation as we go into the early months of 2024.”

Cheney served as vice chairwoman of the House Jan. 6 committee and was one of 10 House Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to impeach Trump for a second time following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. She was ousted in the Wyoming primary last year by a Trump-backed challenger, now-Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY).

She has not ruled out voting for President Joe Biden if he is the 2024 Democratic nominee, telling CBS on Sunday that a Republican congressional majority with Trump in the White House would pose a threat to democracy.

Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been on a string of media appearances, further fueling speculation about a presidential bid.

“I don’t even want to imagine a situation where he has won,” Cheney said on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show. “I think we have to do everything we can to stop him in terms of, again, the kind of things we have been working on, working in a nonpartisan fashion.”

Cheney emphasized Republicans, Democrats, and independents need to “work together” and “vote together” to “make clear that Donald Trump is not an acceptable alternative.”

“He is not the lesser of two evils,” Cheney said. “He is a completely unfit man for office. He’s already shown us what he would do, and he can never be near the Oval Office again.”

Professor fired for criticizing homosexuality responds to Christian College

Published

on

A college professor has filed a lawsuit against a Christian college after being fired over social media posts he made criticizing homosexuality.

Dr. Aaron Edwards was fired in March following statements he made online, ending his employment at Cliff College, located in England, that lasted for seven years. Edwards revealed Tuesday that he has enlisted the help of Christian Legal Centre to support his case against the school, according to Fox News Digital.

“I think many Christians have not been willing to say things that will offend people,” he said. “The British people especially find it hard to offend people in ways that other cultures don’t because they’re more willing to say, ‘This is what I believe, and you need to kind of get over it. And I’m free to say that.’ I think in Britain for many years, we’ve tolerated a kind of self-silencing.”

Edwards had claimed on Feb. 19 that homosexuality was “invading the Church” and that many Christians no longer saw “the severity” that such an invasion posed. The statement caused major pushback among LGBT activists, and Cliff College issued a statement calling Edwards’s post “unacceptable” and “inappropriate.”

The professor refused to delete his post, which ultimately led to his firing.

Edwards believes that more Christians will have to face similar situations that he underwent this year, warning that progressive ideology is “invading” both the church and society itself. However, he also said he is encouraged by others who have pushed back against progressive ideology within the church and hopes that the lawsuit against Cliff College will help raise awareness about free speech being at risk in the United Kingdom.
