Fox News Anchor Hits Back At Trump

On Sunday night, President Trump surprised himself by tweeting out a sharp criticism of two Fox News reporters.

Never thought I’d say this but I think @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner @FoxNews have even less understanding of the Wall negotiations than the folks at FAKE NEWS CNN & NBC! Look to final results! Don’t know how my poll numbers are so good, especially up 19% with Hispanics?

After all that I have done for the Military, our great Veterans, Judges (99), Justices (2), Tax & Regulation Cuts, the Economy, Energy, Trade & MUCH MORE, does anybody really think I won’t build the WALL? Done more in first two years than any President! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I was surprised to hear that. I watch Fox News, and it’s not “blind Trump love” 24/7. There are actually many “fair” people, and the network continues to feature those who DON’T like Trump. However, I still believe it’s the most “fair and balanced” of all the networks. Truth has a bias. Sorry.

One Fox News anchor wasn’t happy with Trump’s criticism and hit back.

@realDonaldTrump This is NOT right. I stand by my colleagues @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner They don’t deserve this. No reporter does. They are doing their jobs and reporting the facts. They are not opinion journalists and deserve the respect from the @WhiteHouse they cover. https://t.co/ftRPauopjC

By going on Twitter and insulting two of our journalists @realDonaldTrump is putting a target on their backs. In turn his followers will then attack @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner in support on Twitter. Bullying journalists is not Presidential. Period. https://t.co/xayShIojYj

I have always stood up for journalists no matter what network they work for. We all should support each other. https://t.co/ABE6UL7XRG

I still haven’t figured out what either of them said that ticked Trump off. I usually always trust John Roberts’ reporting. Hmmm.
