Bret Baier responded to a statement former President Trump released in which he specifically named Baier, who was anchoring for Fox News when the network called Arizona for President Biden. In the statement, Trump made several baseless claims of election fraud in Arizona, all of which Baier fact-checked.
“The former president points to a third-party audit presented to the Arizona state Senate showing 168,000 ballots were printed on illegal paper. An elections official in Maricopa County says it uses paper approved by Dominion Voting Systems, which makes the tabulation equipment."
“Former President Trump says 74,000 mail-in ballots were received that were never mailed. That claim appears to be based on data that does not show the total mail-in vote. It does not reflect the total early vote either, something acknowledged by the third-party audit itself.”
“The former president says 11,000 voters were added to the rolls after the election and still voted. Again, Maricopa County says provisional votes go through a rigorous verification process to ensure validity. They say only eligible voters were added to the rolls.”
“Also, the Trump claim that all access logs to the voting machines were wiped was debunked back in May,” Baier said, “by the Republican chairman of the county Board of Supervisors.”
Trump also claimed that the election server was hacked, which, according to election officials, is not possible.
“Former President Trump claims the election server was hacked during the election. Maricopa County says its election server is not connected to the internet, and independent auditors found no evidence of a breach there.”
“There have been a total of 182 potential fraud cases referred to investigators in Arizona,” Baier said, “only four have led to charges.”
“We will continue to present the facts as they stand day to day,” Baier said.

Yeah. I’ll be waiting for what that retardo newsreader has to “report”.
Fact check = ask the perpetrators of the crime for a statement.
Yahoo news is aptly named.
They talk sh*t about those who claim voter fraud while ignoring the actual millions of votes that encompassed actual large scale voting fraud. GG.
“They say....” is not a fact check.
It’s a narrative check.
Thanks Brett
These pieces of garbage were SO disgusting on election night I tried FOUR different times to watch them and lasted 5 minutes.
When Brit Hume, I think it was him, said “why aren’t we calling Florida?”
Some jerkoff said “remember 2000?”
Trump was up 300.000 this time!!! Not 800 or whatever it was back then.
Save for a few folks at FOX, they all can go to hell.
What is it, August?
I guess I’m just about done staying drunk since January.
ciao
Oh, they're going all right. Just not as fast as we'd like.🤣🤣

Gotta answer to bowing to the party of abortion and LGBTQ when one dies.
I watched Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein the other day.
Someone is dancing with Costello’s girl so he says “I’ll tech her” and he starts dancing romantically with Abbott.
It was hysterical.
Now, men dancing romantically is supposed to be “normal”
I just can’t.
They don’t just want tolerance or even acceptance. They want approval. Sorry, Brucie it ain’t happening.

Hey, WELCOME BACK!
Anyone who says that is either ignorant or a liar.
Even an air gapped computer can be hacked.
Thanks.
I’ve been drunk for 7 months but it started to get too expensive.
Hope you have been well.
Agreed.
FORCED approval. Shoved down the kids’ throats.
They don’t err on the side of caution, they err on the side of fear when they hesitate to report on such a serious matter. Trump’s not asking for equity in media bias against Biden, he’s just asking for a light to be shined on it because it may indeed be true, and whether or not he and/or the media believe it, and who does that leave?...US, the American people, and Donald J Trump is one of us. He just happens to be the 45th President of the United States.
I will never forgive @FoxNews for the first “conservative” debate in 2016. NeverTrumper’s Baier, Kelly and Wallace were despicable.
Kelly’s gone, but she was replaced by Martha Macalam, another NeverTrumper! They use the demonic three on every election show. Can’t stand them.
Sad when CNN gives better coverage!
No charges because the fraud is built in: no signatures ok, no checking of signatures, greater acceptance of bad signatures if they are checked, unmonitored drop boxes are over the place, late mailed-in ballots ok, late ballots without a stamp are ok, this is fraud that is built in. Wake up, Bret.
No not just approval. You are supposed to look upon It as NORMAL.
Full forensic audits are the only genuine fact check. Everything else is propaganda. Baier is nothing but a stooge for oligarch interests.
You’re a liar, Brett...just like your father, the devil.
