Trump hits Fox News for 'wasting airtime' with coverage of Buttigieg

President Trump on Sunday criticized Fox News, accusing the network of "wasting airtime" over its coverage of South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and other Democratic 2020 contenders. "Hard to believe that @FoxNews is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him," he wrote, referring to Buttigieg and the Fox News host. Fox News is scheduled to host a town hall with Buttigieg on Sunday night.

Trump: "They forgot the people who got them there. Chris Wallace said, 'I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not, that Mayor Pete has a lot of substance...fascinating biography.' Gee, he (Chris Wallace) never speaks well of me - I like Mike Wallace better... and Alfred E. Newman will never be President!" Trump added, doubling down on his comparison of the mayor to the character Alfred E. Neuman who appears on the cover of Mad Magazine.

Wallace last month praised the mayor as having "interesting, refreshing ideas" and more "substance" than former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), another White House hopeful. The Fox News anchor is the son of legendary "60 Minutes" correspondent Mike Wallace, who died in 2012.

The Democratic National Committee announced in March that it would not allow Fox News to host any of its presidential primary debates this cycle, pointing to an explosive New Yorker article detailing deep ties between the conservative network and Trump's White House.

Perhaps Fox News is doing us all a favor by exposing the nation to the moral failure that is Buttgig. But I really wouldn’t know. I never watch Fox News

Trump has a point. It is not possible an out of the closet homosexual that is married to a man will be elected President.

LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. No doctor has the right to kill a baby that is in reality a taxpayer and citizen. The Government has the DUTY to Protect Life. How simple is that?

I’ve noticed..at least on their weekend shows...that Fox is giving a lot of airtime to all the filthy democrat so-called presidential candidates. I turn it off when they are on...can’t take it.

President Trump is real keen. He is right. This is the Main Stream Lame Reporters pushing their guy. I am anxious to see how he is going to get his wife pregnant, I have heard they have had difficulty in conceiving. I guess they need to keep trying. But it is sad they cant have children.

Trump’s right, at least now that Mayor Pete has gone off the deep edge with his comment that we need to rename things named after Thomas Jefferson.
