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

Posted on 07/21/2023 6:53:44 PM PDT by Reno89519

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."

I hope you don’t mind if I steal it.

Fixing vote integrity is not the kind of action I am talking about. That is up to *us,* not Trump.

Exactly.

A stolen election which is never acknowledged, uncovered and severely dealt with spells the end of the Republic. It pretty much transfers a nation “We the People” into the dust bin of history, and many have to audacity to complain about “whining”. Good Lord - it spells the end of your country!

If some one kills your mother father sister brother I don’t want to hear any whining about it. Someone carjacks you STFU with all the whining about it. Someone walks into your store and takes what they want without paying don’t be a tedious whiner. STFU and just get on with it.

Or perhaps its because he is about the only President in 50 years to do anything worthwhile. His second term was clearly stolen and to my knowledge they havent fixed the issues that allowed it to happen…. So i think you folks will just have deal with Trump reminding everyone it happened. Its not like Trump isnt out there telling you his plans for next term…right? Or talking about his promises kept … about how great things were right up until Feb 2020. Short memories.

The MSM has been whining about injustice that supposedly took place in 1619.

Then it should be okay for Trump to whine about the stolen 2020 election for the next 500 years.

I haven’t tuned to the FoxNews channel since they fired Tucker Carlson so I am ignorant of anything said on the channel. Laura Ingram, like all the other talking heads on FoxNews is for sale to the highest bidder. She and the others like her are incapable of making a decision, make it hers, and be prepared to die by it.

If our elections are so compromised that a blatant steal like 2020 is ignored and allowed to be the norm, we have no country anymore.

-Bottom line.

Nothing else matters anymore. We are now owned by our politicians, who get to decide who gets into their club and who doesn’t.

This is a slave state - not a free country IF this is allowed to stand.

Donald Trump seems to be the only guy up there willing to fight this fight.

p.s. - it’s OUR necks on the line folks.

If the election was a steal, it was not stolen from Trump, it was stolen from the American people.

Don’t forget the ACTBLUE money. This source is allegedly coming from retired senior citizens who are living off their retirement. All the ACTBLUE money is pouring into the Democrat coffers. Where is it really coming from? Why aren’t the Republicans seeking to find out where the money is originating form? Seems like it would be an easy task to trace the origins of the funds.

I disagree with Ingram she is toeing the line for Murdoch , he is also instructing his people to contribute to Demorats.

“…There is no talk in media about the election fraud that prompted the protests on J6.”

Journalists should have explored those reports. But the media use their constitutional role to spread narratives they like and ignore facts and narratives they don’t. That’s a corruption of the responsibility given them to inform the public.

The media and citizens are working at cross purposes here.

If the election was stolen, why are the thieves still alive?

Even though it doesn’t bother me, and I take no view either way, I do hear what you are saying about his comments. I love the man warts and all.
