Fox News Host Calls Trump a 'Whiner,' Begs Him to 'Stop Talking About 2020'
Newsweek ^ | July 21, 2023 | Aila Slisco

Former President Donald Trump is behaving like a "whiner" by obsessively focusing on false claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to massive fraud, according to Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

The conservative pundit urged Trump to "stop talking about 2020" if he wants to win the 2024 presidential election during the latest episode of The Ingraham Angle on Friday night, warning the ex-president that he would not win over "a single voter" if he does not change his tactics.

Ingraham also admonished Trump for launching attacks on Republican politicians in battleground states for failing to endorse him or being reluctant to swear their fealty, pointing out the former president's disparaging comments about Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.

"Keep your eye on the prize: 270 electoral votes," Ingraham said, apparently addressing the former president directly. "Attacking popular Republican senators or governors in battleground states is more than unwise, it's self-destructive. Why do it?"

"Voters in a general election want to vote for a winner, not a whiner," she continued. "So please, for the love of God, stop talking about 2020. That will not bring a single voter out to support you who didn't support you before. You need to grow the pot, not shrink it."

...

Friday was not the first time that Ingraham has laid into Trump for continuing to focus on his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. During a broadcast in March, the Fox News host said that "marinating in old claims of election fraud will not win over a single voter in any state that [Trump] needs to win in 2024."

So our Constitutional right to vote, and have true elections that reflect the will of the people doesn't matter?

The fact that a coup took place in 2020 (which FOX played a role in) that installed a CCP puppet dictator doesn't matter either?

“Why anyone watched cable “news” is beyond me, there are no more misinformed people on this planet than the regular viewers of cable and network “news””

No, you just need to have the intelligence to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff, and most Freepers are capable of doing that. Newsmax does a pretty good job and are the antidote to the now corrupted Fox News. I still occasionally watch a few hosts on Fox but no longer can give much credence to most of their programming. I’ve switched my affiliation to Newsmax.

So has Trump and Newsmax showed all of Trump’s past rallies and still is doing so, whereas Fox stopped doing it when the Murdochs went anti-Trump and pro-DeSantis. I find it highly humorous that they are now backing a politically dead horse (DeSantis) who is sinking in the polls as they continue to try to prop up his prospects and pretend there is a horse race where there isn’t any.

“I actually care about conservatism & this country more than any candidate for President”

You are living in political lalaland.

Another reason not to watch Fox which I haven’t watched since they fired Tucker.

I disagree with your view. I’d say the opposite is happening especially combined with the weaponized DOJ on his back. More and more people are listening to what he has to say. His continued rise in polling is an indicator.

Someone a while back pointed out that Fox had become controlled opposition owned by the Uni Party in DC. I agree. Paul Ryan will do about anything to destroy Trump.

If you look at politics globally you can see a populist swing that is becoming unstoppable. Its here in our country now. More and more people demand politicians represent the people not the party donor class, And demand they deliver what they campaign on. More and more people aren’t willing to vote for the lesser of two evils anymore. More and more people are demanding an end to RINO Uni Party DC. They want what Trump offers, America First. These same voters are finished with lying, political backstabbers and the former argument that to support them means keeping a liberal out of office. People and times are beginning to change. The GOP can change with it and see the old guard like the Bushes and Paul Ryan lose power or it can die under the populist surge.

It’s been non stop talk and lying about sedition on J6. There is no talk in media about the election fraud that prompted the protests on J6. They really don’t need your shovel in the ongoing effort to cover up the stolen election as they are doing fine without your help.

She’s a mean skanky bitch. Always has been. She and Dana Perino (is she still at Fox?) have a love affair with the Bush contingent.

Laura had Trump on as a guest shortly after the 2020 election was stolen.

He tried to bring up the subject of election fraud and she cut him off with something like:

“We don’t need to relitigate the last election”.

I thought, RE-litigate? How about litigate?

She never even lifted a finger in his defense back when it might have made a difference.

Laura has been dead to me since.

Agree wholeheartedly that the weaponized DOJ is the primary reason for DJT's outstanding polling results these days. His impulsive mocking of fellow conservatives, however, is not.

Your Trump-like impulsive mocking of fellow conservatives does not sway me to vote for your idol.

There you go AGAIN, Laura, thinking you are smarter than Trump and that you can tell him what to do.

I stopped watching you long before I stopped watching FAUX totally just because of your condescending attitude toward Trump.

Haven’t you and FAUX hemorrhaged enough viewers that you want to drive away more?

She is right.

I believe so as well. I would like to hear about how Trump will break up the DOJ and IC and scatter them across the land where they have to exist with the people. There is an opening in the POTUS race for someone to tell us how the next 4 years of MAGA are going to go. I wish Trump would pick up that mantle.

If any of you Descantus fools watched a Trump rally he does not talk about “it” very much.
