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.

Hard to believe that @FoxNews is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him. Fox is moving more and more to the losing (wrong) side in covering the Dems. They got dumped from the Democrats boring debates, and they just want in. 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 never speaks well of me - I like Mike Wallace better...and Alfred E. Newman will never be President!

@realDonaldTrump - 5:15 PM - 19 May 2019

Bwahahahah - more slamming Wallace than Fox as a whole.

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

Two terms of Obama and Hillary with 3 million more votes than Trump? I wouldn’t rule out anything in this filthy democrat infested country.

I really don’t give a hoot how many “husbands” Buttijig has. All I wish is he would stop flaunting it in my face.

I am wondering if “Mayor Pete” if flying his freak flag high lately to incite responses (e.g., jokes) etc. from conservatives at this time to help draw attention away from the damaging information coming out about Obama’s administration spying on POTUS etc. (comey, clapper etc.)

I’ve waded through the Democratic Underground cesspool several times in the past week and they are pretending the damaging flood of information about Spygate does not exist, while breathlessly reporting either Maddow’s perplexity (”Why isn’t Trump being impeached right now?!”), fighting over Biden/Warren/Sanders, or portraying conservatives as bigoted homophobes re the mayor.

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

They elected Obama the Muslim homosexual twice.

I listened to a bit of it. Buttplug says the mast crazy, insane stuff in measured tones and Wallace didn’t call him on any of it.

One example (which he said twice) was that the “unneeded tax cut for millionaires and billionaires blew a trillion dollar hole in the budget”.

There’s so much wrong with that word salad Wallace should have had several follow up questions. Did he? Nope. Neither time.

On the Fox News debate with Butthead, they just said he has 1% support of African-Americans.

That’s the problem with todays faggotry. If they would just shut the F up and go about their business all would be fine and nobody would bother them.

“..wasting airtime” over its coverage of South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg ...”

Kind of hard to take South Bend/Notre Dame/Fighting Irish seriously anymore. Students probably thought it was cool to vote for an anal astronaut as mayor.

Mike Wallace is just beaming and throwing soft ball questions.

That said, Fox is going Left, so this is no surprise.

Anyway it gives a chance to see what lies and BS the dems are going to try and put over on the American people.

Finally, sadly, I don't count out the possibility that the American people would vote someone into the presidency solely because the person is gay.

Butthead showed how inordinately stupid he is, when asked about his desire to eliminate the Electoral College. He said we’re a democracy. We’re a Republic, moron.

They probably eliminated any Christians, who follow the Bible.

The more media exposure Mayor Pete gets the better for Republicans.

Most Americans don’t feel comfortable with homosexuals, especially those who flaunt their homosexuality, so when Mayor Pete opines about something like the need to raise taxes many people will think his opinions are as queer as he is.

Let Mayor Pete push the foolish, destructive liberal Democratic agenda and people will be increasingly repelled by it.
