President Donald Trump ripped into Fox News — and specifically, Jessica Tarlov— in a fiery social media takedown of the network.
On Sunday, October 4, the POTUS, 80, took to Truth Social with a blunt critique of both Fox & Friends and Tarlov, 42, a co-anchor of The Five.
“Sad to see that Fox & Friends (Sunday) is not covering our packed house and incredibly enthusiastic (beyond!) Rally that took place in Ohio last night, or the ones in Alabama, Texas, or Oklahoma over the past two days,” Trump began his lengthy update.
Additionally, the president claimed that the rally was “sold out, with thousands of people trying to get in” and that “other networks are reporting about these Rallies, and really positively, like ‘crazy!'”
Trump continued, “Fox spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy.”
That’s when the POTUS took aim at Tarlov, declaring, “We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats. These Rallies are the hottest things out there, tremendous love in those sold out arenas, and nothing shows up on Fox!”
Elsewhere in his update, Trump wondered, “Who makes these decisions at FoxNews? Probably the same loser that fired the great Maria Bartiromo because she complained about not being allowed to cover ‘TRUMP.’ She’ll end up bigger and better than ever – watch!”
The president also warned that Fox News will “soon have the ratings of FAKE NEWS CNN or MSNOW (MSDNC)” if it doesn’t adequately cover Republican events.
This isn’t the first time Trump has singled out Tarlov. On October 1, he did so while lashing out at Fox News for giving Democrats more air time.
“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me?” he wrote in a different Truth Social post. “I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans.”
Meanwhile, Tarlov has openly mocked Trump over his obsession with her.
