Trump slams Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich for failing to push back on Ro Khanna's 'lies'
WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News anchor Jacqui Heinrich over her interview of Democratic Rep Ro Khanna in a Truth Social post on Sunday, May 10.
Notably, Trump recently also criticized Bill Maher over his sit-down with Gavin Newsom on 'Real Time', calling him a "weak and ineffective person" for not challenging the governor's claims about California's current state.
🇺🇸 Trump just went nuclear on Fox News. Called it "obliterated" by "sleazebags." He named Ro Khanna, Bill Maher, and Hakeem Jeffries and attacked the anchor by name.

Trump says Jacqui Heinrich let Ro Khanna ‘lie’ without ‘any pushback’
Trump criticized Heinrich on Truth Social for not sufficiently challenging Representative Ro Khanna, claiming her interview allowed "lies" to go unanswered.
“You could listen to Fox News all day long, absolutely devour it, but then, when you hear SLEAZEBAGS, like Congressman Ro Khanna, ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing,’ LIE, LIE, LIE, AND LIE AGAIN, without any pushback, or competent rebuttal from an anchor, in this case, Jacqui Heinrich, the entire Common Sense dialogue that has been going on all day at Fox is completely obliterated!” the POTUS wrote.
“Why would Fox put SCUM like this on, or others, such as Low Rated Bill Maher, who gains ‘credibility’ by constant referral to him as though he were a Liberal source of ‘Wisdom,’ or very Low IQ Hakeem Jeffries, who considers the Supreme Court ‘illegitimate,’ and probably hates our Country,” Trump added.
Trump says MAGA Republicans ‘hate’ Fox News
As the president continued slamming the anchors at Fox News, he suggested that “fair and balanced” news at Fox News is destroyed by “professional liars.” He further highlighted that MAGA Republicans “hate” the channel despite the “wonderful contributions” of “great anchors.”
“No matter how ‘Fair and Balanced’ the day’s News at Fox may be, the end result is destroyed by professional Liars, Conmen, and Liberal, Crooked Politicians,” Trump wrote. "This is why MAGA Republicans, who are actually close to 100% of the Party, hate Fox, despite the wonderful contributions made by so many of their great anchors and commentators. Hard to win Elections like this.”
Trump says Ro Khanna shouldn't be allowed on Fox News unless a capable anchor is present
In an earlier post, Trump advised Fox News not to allow Ro Khanna until he can be interviewed by someone “capable of disputing his lies.”

“The Sleazebag, Radical Left Congressman from the failed State of California, Ro Khanna, should not be allowed on Fox News unless you have an ‘anchor’ who is capable of disputing his lies, one after another, and closing down his FAKE (Bulls**t!) narrative. He is similar, but worse than Hakeem Jeffries, only with a somewhat higher IQ,” the Republican leader said.
“This morning he tried, on behalf of the Dumacrats, to take credit for the Steel Industry pouring back into the U.S., knowing full well that the Dumbs virtually destroyed it, and I SAVED IT, through strong Tariffs (PLUS!). Our Country was DEAD during the last “Administration,” and now it is hotter than ever before,” Trump added.
“We can’t allow the Dumacrats to take credit for this. If elected, they will fully destroy our thriving, and now very respected, Nation. I will NOT let that happen!!!” he asserted.
