Fox Dumps Trump Speech After He Ridicules Them

Mediaite reports:

Fox News cut away from former President Donald Trump’s rally speech right as the 2024 candidate began praising his interview with Tucker Carlson and blasting the network’s ratings on the first GOP debate. It wasn’t until the former president began talking about his appearance on Carlson’s show, 13 minutes into his speech, that the network promptly cut away.

“You know, they’re wasting a lot of time with these ridiculous debates that nobody’s watching,” Trump said about Fox.

“Their last debate was the lowest rated debate in history. That’s a good compliment. Now, what was I doing — I was someplace else, wasn’t I? I was doing another interview. We had 271 million people listening to the Tucker Carlson interview. That’s an all-time record,” Trump said.
