Long-time Trump ally and former Fox News regular Joe diGenova lashed out at the conservative-leaning network on Wednesday, claiming Fox News fears George Soros and wondering aloud what the liberal philanthropist has on Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott.
For more than a week now, right-wing media outlets and pro-Trump pundits have railed against Fox News for an on-air segment that featured multiple hosts shutting down Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich just as he began a conspiratorial rant against Soroswho has long been the target of anti-Semitic tropes from the right. After Gingrich asked if the topic was verboten, the discussion ended in a long awkward silence.
Amid a growing backlash from conservativeswho felt Gingrich was being silenced from criticizing a right-wing bogeymanFox News anchor Harris Faulkner later issued an on-air apology for the segment, describing the former speaker as beloved and needed to be allowed to speak. Gingrich, meanwhile, authored an op-ed complaining that he was the victim of a Soros cover-up.
DiGenova, who has been absent from Fox airwaves for nearly a year after baselessly accusing Soros of controlling the State Department, appeared on former Fox News contributor Sebastian Gorkas radio program on Wednesday to claim Fox is in the pocket of the liberal billionaire. (Gorka, a one-time Trump assistant, continues to make frequent guest spots on Fox Business Network.)
