Case in point: during a recent speech by Trump at the southern border, where he broached the contentious topic of the 2020 election results, host Neil Cavuto promptly pulled the plug on his remarks.
The audacity of Fox to think they can just snip away Trump's speech like that is downright ludicrous. I mean, come on, he's hardly the first president to question election outcomes, and he certainly won't be the last. Can't the man express his doubts without being shut down?
Of course, we all know this is just Fox's way to avoid getting sued again.
From OK! Magazine:
“We were doing a great job, and that’s where it stood, and then we had an election that we ended up getting many millions of more votes than... We did much better in 2020 than we ever even thought about doing in 2016,” Trump said during an address on immigration.
“And very bad things happened, and from that moment, it was a whole different ballgame in Texas and all over,” he added, appearing to go into his old baseless claims that the election was stolen.
Cavuto, who in the past has not shied away from criticizing Trump or Republicans, interrupted the stream, telling his viewers, “We’re continuing to monitor this.”
“Just one slight thing I wanted to add because when you hear it, and you heard from Donald Trump about the 2020 election, and he got millions more votes. In fact, he did get millions more votes,” Cavuto acknowledged. “He still lost that election. That is not in doubt anymore. That’s not being debated anymore.”
The Republicans Against Trump account on X, the app formerly known as Twitter, shared a clip of the Fox News broadcast cutting away from the ex-president. Several users on the social media platform debated why the conservative network would interrupt Trump during the height of the Republican primary.
One person wrote, "Fox doesn't want to get sued again. They're not risking ANYTHING."
