Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani delivered a blistering critique of Fox News during a Friday appearance on Newsmax's "The Chris Salcedo Show," accusing the network of silencing key conservative voices — including himself and the late Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
Giuliani's remarks came amid renewed scrutiny over Fox's treatment of Kirk following his recent death, with critics charging Fox News with hypocrisy for praising Kirk while having effectively banned him from their airwaves for years.
"Well, I was completely banned from the network," Giuliani told host Chris Salcedo. "They don't even interview me on Sept. 11 anymore. For 10 or 12 straight years, I was interviewed live on 'Fox & Friends' to talk about Sept. 11 — which I imagine would be a time you'd want to talk to me, right? Since they banned me, several of their people have thought they could put me on and then had to call me and tell me, 'No, you're not allowed on.'"
Giuliani, once a fixture on Fox News, said the network cut ties with him after the 2020 election disputes after he strongly supported President Donald Trump.
He recounted how Fox insiders, including longtime friends, admitted they were prevented from booking him.
"At least three or four occasions, very decent, wonderful people that were friends of mine wanted to put me on ... and then they'd have to call and tell either me, 'I'm sorry. They won't let you on,'" he said.
Giuliani's criticisms echoed broader frustration from America First conservatives who argue Fox has sidelined pro-Trump voices, notably Kirk.
Caroline Wren, a longtime Republican fundraiser, blasted the network on social media for its double standards regarding Kirk.

I have noticed it is more difficult to get Headlines that reflect the context of the article when posting from Fox, than other, less biased news sources.
Where are Ted Cruz and Rand Paul on this?
When will Faux Snooze report on Trump’s EO that essentially killed H-1B visas? When? It’s a huge story that globalist Free Traitors just hate. That is why Faux won’t touch it.
I watch Newsmax. Fox can rot in Hades.
Newsmax is what FNC was about 6 years ago. They are not what they were 10 years ago.
Since when was Giuliani a conservative? His whole career, he was only a Republican because of the crime issue, and he never presented himself as a conservative. Since when is Fox News a conservative network?
Were they silencing Charlie Kirk? I don't watch TV news, so I have no idea what they do.
So, Newsmax isn’t conservative, just sensationalistic?
Conspiracies much?
They reported on it when it was announced says ago Here's just one article from Friday.

Ha! Good for Rudy. He is right on.
A reasonable position and a partial solution.
So, Newsmax isn’t conservative, just sensationalistic?”
That is not what I saying. Newsmax is center right and has its share of people with TDS. It is not conservative. FNC is center and has a few who do not have TDS.
The Giuliani - Fox controversy can be settled fairly by screwing Fox good and hard, then screwing Fox good and hard again.
Use the proceeds to pay down the National Debt.
He is right on crime, wrong on everything else. The Giuliani - Fox controversy can be settled fairly by screwing Fox good and hard, then screwing Fox good and hard again.
Screw them how? The government will now police all TV news channels?
The guy is left on every issue, except crime.
Are you in agreement with the ban that Fox put on Charlie’s appearances?
That is what this thread is about.
Rudy calling them out, for that.
That’s does not make sense
Cruz and Paul think the government should control speech and only for pro Trump when ABC cancels Kimmel
When Fox cancelled guiliani they did not have this outrage.
This movement will go nowhere unless the right lets their petty differences go. We will win no one to our side without the kindness and grace that Charlie showed to those who spewed hatred.
Be creative!
