Trump criticized the pre-debate comments of Fox News’ Brit Hume and Bret Baier on Wednesday night.
During a discourse concerning President Joe Biden’s ability to win, Hume contended that the renomination of Biden “is dependent on one thing: the expectation that Trump will be the Republican nominee.”
Baier made a remark about the absence of the former president and the manifest desire of numerous individuals to make an impact at the current event. “So, clearly the former president is not present tonight, and there are numerous individuals vying for a breakthrough moment on this stage. What will the Democrats and the Biden campaign do if this occurs?”
Hume provided a response in return:
I don’t think there is any doubt that if we get a candidate get a clear breakout moment either here or some time in the near future, and it appears on its way to overtaking Donald Trump for the nomination or even coming close enough, the Democrats will be frantically looking for somebody else to nominate because I think that they think that Joe Biden can beat Donald Trump because he did before. I’m not sure they believe that he could beat almost anybody else.
Trump expressed his vehement opposition to the aforementioned proposal in a post on the Truth Social platform.
“I AM LEADING BIDEN IN ALMOST ALL POLLS! LEADING REPUBLICANS BY 50 POINTS,” asserted the former president in all caps. “FOX NEWS REFUSES TO POST OR DISCUSS. BRIT HUME, WORKING WITH RINO BRET BAIER, IS DELUSIONAL!!!”
Trump added in another post:
“NO, I’M THE ONE THAT THE DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT TO RUN AGAINST. They said the same thing in 2016. How did that work out? We did MUCH better in the Rigged Election of 2020. The RINOS and DEMS are all about DISINFORMATION! @brithume @bretbaier”
Trump decided not to partake in the Fox-sponsored debate hosted by Baier on Wednesday evening. The decision was made following Trump’s complaints about the network in recent months.
Based on an interview conducted with Baier in June. President Trump voiced his displeasure by asserting, “It was nasty.”
“When I did the interview with Bret, I thought it was fine. I thought it was okay, but there was nothing friendly about it. You know, it was nasty,” Trump said, explaining his view of the situation. “It was really like, unfriendly. Everything was like unfriendly. No smiling, no let’s have fun, let’s Make America Great Again. Everything was like a hit. So you have a hostile network.”
