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 agree with you.

I never could see Ingrahm as someone who I trusted, liked or wanted to be friends with. Pardon the grammatical errors.

I think she is gay...this is not a bad thing in retrospect, but she likes...really likes to tell us just how holy she is.
I tuned her out years ago, can’t remember why, but I see a bit of disingenuous verbiage in her.

I think she runs HOT AND COLD. and one never knows which Laura is speaking.

In my mind, she is very like Ann Coulter, who is a total lunatic in my estimation.

FNC used to pretty much be on 24/7 here. It hasn’t been for many years and think Laura was the last straw.

Let's talk about how Fox News conducted election interference in 2000, when they called Florida for Gore before the polls in The Panhandle had even closed.

And for some unknown reason, Al Gore wasn't indicted for trying to overturn a Presidential election.

Remember, all Fox did was run anonymously sourced segments on Trump, Trump doing something improper, saying something improper, not being patriotic, hating the military, fake evidence found that will take him out.

Now, they aren’t allowed to run anonymous single source pieces on Biden.

What happened?

Correct! Just like Vannity and McEnaney were texting back and forth to figure out a way to get him to stop talking about THE TRUTH.

Everything you described here is dead on.

And it is one of the most self-destructive political movements I have ever witnessed

Yes, she is absolutely, unequivocally correct. Election 2020 is over. He lost. Everyone - President Trump and his supporters - need to quit moaning, dry their tears, and focus on defeating President Joe “RobinUs” Biden next time around.

I don't fault anyone for making a big deal out of the "Shining City on a Hill" falling to a military coup during which the capital was fenced in and surrounded by troops.

Only cowards would look away. Trump is no coward.

It’s the Fox mores.

If Hakeem Jefferies claims an Election was stolen, they just don’t care. If a Republican does it, it an immediate danger to Democracy and the future of human race.

"Because he had his 2020 election stolen."

How many other elections have been stolen since then? You act as if it isn't a serious problem, and only happened to Trump. You want people to shrug it all off, when in fact, today, people are being punished for questioning election results. In 2000, Al Gore tried to overturn the election by getting a Florida Judge to allow him to do recounts in certain cherry-picked Democrat counties, and he would have gotten away with it, if the Supreme Court hadn't stepped in and stopped it. That was 23 years ago, and the theft of elections has only gotten worse. Do you realize how many military ballots are tossed out every election because Democrats send gangs of lawyers to get them rejected. They look at it as a game, to see how many they can get dismissed, and they are successful in doing it. Try to see beyond your nose on the issue. It's more than just Trump having an election stolen from him. The whole election system is corrupt. Congress sanctioned unlimited voter fraud on January 6th, and you want to move on from that? Why are you people so freaking shallow.
