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."

Fox should be reporting the news, not trying to control it.

Fox are the whiners since they were involved in the Stolen 2020 Election.

“Shoot the messenger, fine, but she is right. To win 2024 candidates need to focus on 2024, not rehashing a lost election. “

WRONG!!!

If the election stealing mechanisms of 2020 are not corrected then there will not be a 2024 election.

Yes, Laura is just like Varney and Baer. They refuse to connect the dots between fake mail in votes and fake Russia collusion stories. This and the corrupt FBI all point to cheating. Cheating equals stolen. If these things can’t be rectified, why won’t the next one be STOLEN? If you ignore history, you will repeat it. I hear this constantly on FOX regarding leftist continuously trying socialism again and again and again. That leads me to believe they are all in on the big lie.

This is the “can’t we stop talking about original sin” mentality. No, you cannot stop talking about the theft in America’s biggest election.

This is precisely what the DemoKKKrats want you to do because it LEGALIZES and VALIDATES the theft. It’s like, “can’t we stop talking about that slavery stuff?” in 1850.

Fox News can’t cope with reality it has to much faith in rigging cover up stories ensue.

Like most of the media

And, this is and firing Tucker are why Ingraham and Fox News' ratings have been in steep decline.

Anyone that refuses to acknowledge the voter fraud of 2020 is complicit in it.

No one with half a brain believes Trump won 18 of 19 bellwether counties that had voted with the winner since 1980 and lost fairly. That's impossible.

The Ruby Freeman video proved it and so did Dinesh D'Souza.

You post crap like this and whining like a little girl when someone attacks DeSantis. You're ridiculous.

Anyone downplaying the voter fraud of 2020 is aligned with the Republican establishment that was complicit in it.

What happened in 2020 is totally unacceptable and as is downplaying.

May Fox News die a tortured death. Cable news is dead.

Anyone trying to undermine Trump is absolutely doing the bidding of the Republican establishment and is the enemy of the grassroots.

The Republican establishment worked with Democrats to help rig the 2020 election, the governor's race in Arizona and the Senate and House race in Alaska.

This a war between the establishment the base. Anyone siding with establishment deserves NO mercy whatsoever.

There has never in history been a presidential election where people with zero enthusiasm were able to vote from their couch. I don’t believe historical trends can stand with such a vastly changed set of circumstances.

That’s right. Let’s all forget the massive ballot stuffing in 2020 and just bend over and take it.

Might as well shut up about 9-11, Dec 7th, Dday, etc.

Look forward.

Sorry but you are proving my point. Newsmax and ANN and all the others don’t tell the truth either they tell an opinionated view of events. Just because their opinionated view more matches your own does not mean remotely you are being told the unadulterated truth.

Real news, is boring it’s simple facts.

I stand completely by my statement there are no more misinformed people in this country than those who consume mainstream/cable news.

"Whiner" may hav ebeen a little rough, but Laura does have a point.

The conservative pundit urged Trump to "stop talking about 2020" if he wants to win the 2024 presidential election

Exactly! Elections are about the future, not the past. They're about what you plan to do going forward. The more time Trump spends relitigating 2020, the more he hurts his chances of getting re-elected -- and those of Republicans downballot.

We saw that in 2022 when the Red Wave turned into a Red Ripple. Let's not make that same mistake in 2024. The country can't afford it.

Besides, as some supporters of other candidates keep asking, if he couldn't stop it in 2020, when he was hte incumbent president, how does he plan to stop it in 2024 when he's out of office?

I too think it was stolen through corrupt and illegal practices

Maybe not the ones that Trump's focused on, however. The steal took place before the election, when states established election procedures that violated the Constitution's provision that "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors..."

Instead, hte election procedures in several states -- and thus the selection of the electors -- was conducted in a manner other than that directed by the Legislature.

I would hve liked to see someone on Congress challenge the electors, not on the grounds of ballots put through twice or the suitcases or the stopped count or any of that, but simply on the unconstitutional manner of chooisng those electors.

There are some, however, who argue exactly what Responsibility2nd was saying, htat we OWE Trump the nomination and election becuase of the 2020 steal. People like Loomer and Brusewitz. I encounter such arguments online every day.

It may be only a few, but they’re loud, superactive, and obnoxious as can be, and often in Trump’s inner circle, so it comes across as a major theme of the Trump campaign, even if the argument is what you said.

The nation is suffering severely because of election fraud and the coup occupying the WH....and there’s another election coming up. It needs to be dealt with.

OK, so then, plese tell us what Trump or any of his acolytes hve done to deal with it.

Laura is a fire breathing conservative in every way, but somehow in their minds- because she cautioned Trump to be smarter- they will convince themselves that she’s with the establishment 🙄

Yes, they're convinced that anyone who isn't 100% in lockstep with whatever Trump says at any given moment is "Establishemnt." It's amusing.

These are the same folks who will actively sit out a state election knowing it will elect a leftist Democrat because Trump didn’t give the Republican his blessing.

As in the Georgia runoffs. This is why we have a Democrat Senate.
