Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Friday sparred with Trump campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley for suggesting a recent Fox News poll was "fake."

The exchange came the same week that a Fox News survey found President Trump trailing presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in key battleground states, with the former vice president holding a 9 point lead in Michigan and an 11 point lead in Pennsylvania -- two states Trump won in 2016.

“You touched on some polls. Most of those are fake,” Gidley said Friday on "Fox & Friends." “They oversample Democrats.”

Kilmeade later rebuked Gidley, saying: “I know the people that do the polls. They don’t do it fake. They do a really good job.”

1. Et tu, Kilmeade?

My goodness. I need to find a fainting couch.

2. I chuckle at these threads

It's a good chuckle to see FOX actually push back occasionally. But know that they have never been more in the bag for Trump than right now. FOX today is more pro Trump than they were when he was running the first time and when he first took office. FOX News is literally part of the administration, just because they push back occasionally doesn't mean anything has changed, in fact it's gotten much much worse there.

3. I'm sorry

But having a name like Hogan Gidley* is like a guarantee to be a douchebag. Kilmeade should know, he works with Steve Douchey every day.

4. tsk, tsk, Bri, dude, you are being obtuse about what fake news means.

5. Fox is fake is so many ways

It is hard to tell when they actually have something factual.

Kilmeade, "Mr. Blacks are another species" is probably not the best representative of someone who understands facts.

6. If Hogan Gidley believes that ALL of the polls are fake and flawed, and that Trump has the

momentum, then that's the best possible news for Biden. Every single poll that's come out since the beginning of July has shown Biden leading nationally and in key swing states. Every single one including Rassmussen.

Trump is surrounded by sycophants, not professionals.

7. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when GOP fractures and goes

after foxnews. Keep it up
