GOP frontrunner Donald Trump slammed Fox News and the broader Rupert Murdoch empire for its open adoration of donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% . As Breitbart News has previously reported, Rubio has been Congress’s biggest champion of Rupert Murdoch’s open borders advocacy efforts. Trump explained that Fox News has “protected†Rubio — constantly buoying his campaign, even as he has continued to perform dismally.
“They’re in love with Rubio. Why? I have no idea, but they’re in love with Rubio,†Trump declared on Thursday’s program of Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Patriot 125.
“They are in love with Rubio and it’s amazing to me,†Trump said.
Perhaps further delineating the chasm between the media’s portrayal of Rubio and his actual performance, Trump has previously described Rubio as “a choke artist… And we can’t have that as a president can we?†Trump explained that, under pressure from Chris Christie, Rubio could not stop sweating during his televised debate meltdown. “I was standing next to Rubio and I thought he just got out of a swimming pool†Trump said.
Yet Trump pointed out that Fox has gone to great lengths to “protect†Rubio. “After he [Rubio] cratered in the debate, they protected him,†Trump said.

Here it comes :) The Trump Rubio ambush will be commencing soon. This is just a warning shot.
Trump and Fox are obsessed with eachother. They should get married already.
Most of Fox has gone with the communists Democrats. Done with them.
He is right though.
I’m done with FOX since Kelly showed who she really was.
Fox News is a propaganda organ of The Cheap Labor Express.
Now that Yeb! is clearly not going anywhere, they have gone all in for Rubio.
The RNC still owes them an amnesty candidate.
“Trump and Fox are obsessed with eachother. They should get married already.”
Or at least get a room.
Who should Fox “embrace?” The Donald? Hmmmmmmmmmmmph. He picked this fight. What’s with this guy, anyway. Wants to fight everybody bu never comes home with a bloody shirt.
They really love Trump more. Ratings come first.
“He is right though.”
Yes, they are pumping Rubio/Cruz and dinging Trump every chance they get. Murdoch is a fool and this is his politics.
Fox is pushing Rubio.
They have been for some time now. They finally were weaned of their love affair with jeb bush, but they cannot go to a Trump or a Cruz.
So, they push Rubio.
For whatever reason Murdoch really doesn’t like Trump or Cruz.
Trump has more money than him?
Cruz asked for cash from a different billionaire than Murdoch himself?
For whatever reason, Murdoch has the hots for babycheeks Marco Rubio.
Last night, Me-gain Kelly and her usual cohorts spent the first 10 minutes of the show literally laughing at Trump and his dust up with Frank the “pope”.
It was pitiful.
Really? Why do we see Trump on Fox every single day, at least once? I thought that they were in the tank for him...just an observation. Considering that he turned his back on them and boycotted the debate, and cussed Rupert Murdock viciously, it is shocking to see him on Fox so often, almost to the point of being an infomercial..
Really? Murdoch’s net worth is three times Trump’s. Murdoch is worth about 12.5 billion, Trump 4-4.5 billion. Murdoch could buy and sell Trump at least twice and still have billions to spare.
Trump is such a juvenile. God help us if this man-child wins. I thought we dodged a bullet with not having to listen to the droning Algore for 4 years. Or The haughty John Kerry... But to have to listen to this constant childish whining and complaining about every little thing every day, over and over...
He’s a liar!
No, I’m not!
Yes, you are!
Nuh-uhhh!
Yuh-huhhh!
I’m telling!!
MOM???
Rubio was born in Miami, Florida,[1] the second son and third child of Mario Rubio Reina[2] and Oriales Rubio. His parents were Cubans who immigrated to the United States in 1956, prior to the rise of Fidel Castro in January 1959.[3] His mother made at least four trips back after Castros victory, including for a month in 1961.[3] Neither of his parents was a U.S. citizen at the time of Rubios birth,[4] but ultimately his parents applied for U.S. citizenship and were naturalized in 1975.[3]
How is Rubio a natural born citizen? His parents weren't even American citizens when he was born.
It all depends on where we get our stats, but it’s irrelevant to the point....Billionaire Murdoch POd that they all aren’t doing it his way.
Fox, Limbaugh, etc just want the GOPe to win in the end. This is the first time they have had to show their true selves. The have to stop Trump. They are not worried about Cruz vs Rubio. Rubio wins if not before at the convention. LImbaugh and the “conservative” talkers will change to support Rubio once the nomination occurs. That is the way it always happens. In this case they will push Cruz to stop Trump, then Rubio wins and they push Rubio. We lose.
The only way to stop the Cheap Labor Express and Uniparty is to vote Trump.
