When you've lost Fox...

LOL

Fox News anchor Bret Baier just completely dismisses Trump's complaints about Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony:

"Cassie Hutchinson is under oath on Capitol Hill. The president is on Truth Social making his statements."


Watch on Twitter

And as has been pointed out, please watch the clip all the way to the end and see the awkward silence over what was an unspinnable and devastating hearing for Trump.

They MAYBE, have lost Brett Baier, but Fox will likely lose Brett before throwing Trump under the bus. You could see the gears turning for the woman as she tried her hardest to figure a way to spin the set up Brett tossed her.

No it wouldn't, Bret. Besides, I think Rep. Jordan has some involvement of his own with the events of Jan. 6. The committee might want some explanation (read: testimony under oath) for his activities that day.

He's always been rational.

I assure you that Hannity, Fucker & Laura will set the viewers straight.

….otherwise, this is the Fox B team talking.

Hannity will explain this away as him just being a concerned patriot, and Tucker will invent some bright, shiny faux outrage to distract his dimwit followers, complete with his open mouth and furrowed forehead.

IOW, same shit, different day with Fox News.

That was at least five seconds, too. It's an eternity in television. Definitely not a smooth transition and definitely not a good look for a talking head. But the bar is low where they're concerned.
