4:53Now PlayingDonald Trump's spokesperson is furious at Fox News for editing a recent interview between the former President and Fox host Dan Bongino. The edited material was apparently Trump ranting about the election being stolen, and Fox removed this part from the clip they posted online. There is a very simple and obvious reason why Fox had to remove this part of the interview, but it doesn't matter to Trump World. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Over the weekend. Donald Trump did an interview with Fox news host Dan bond, Gino, where Trump as usual ranted and raved about these so-called fraudulent election. Even though there is obviously no evidence to suggest that the election was actually, and then on Sunday, something interesting happened. You see Fox news, like most Alice, they, they post their clips on YouTube. And when Donald Trump's spokesperson, Liz Harrington went to post the videos too. Her social media accounts, she discovered something disturbing. And here it is, I'll just read her tweets. So you understand what happened. Fox news deleted president Trump's words. You have a fake election, you have an election with voter abuse and with voter fraud, like nobody has ever seen before. And based on that, and based on what happened are destroying our country, this is just as bad as big tech. They're putting president Trump's honest statement and the concerns of tens of million Americans down the memory hole. Harrington says,
Yeah, that's, uh, I mean, that's, you know, pretty, pretty bold statement right down the memory hole
Is a problem. You see, Fox news is currently being sued for $1.6 billion by dominion voting systems for defamation. Part of what Fox news is trying to argue in court right now is that they have a first amendment, right? To report on things that were happening, you know, immediately following the 20, 20 election, they're trying to claim, Hey, the waters were muddied. We didn't know what was, what, what was right. What was nots? We were just reporting on everything as we have a first amendment, right. To do do,
But ever since then, Fox news has been a very careful, they have not been
Pushing the stolen election claim. They have not been bringing on the individuals who basically helped to get them sued following that election. So it makes legal sense. Perfect. Legal sense. To be honest with you for Fox news, to cut that statement that Harrington said, Trump said out of the interview, when they posted online, after all that could easily be used against them in this defamation lawsuit. If dominion says, look, they're still allowing this misinformation to be pushed on their network
Today,
Deleting it from the clip before you post it online, makes it a, you know, at least a little bit less likely that dominion is going to be able to use it because it doesn't exist. Donald Trump said it on the air, but then they never repeated it. They got rid of it. They were trying to be proactive. It actually doesn't matter though.
It was said, you
Allow it. This man who you knew was going to say this, because as I repeatedly said, he's going to say it every time he gets in front of a camera or a microphone every single time for the rest of his, like this was 100% predictable. Didn't matter what you brought him on the program to talk about. You knew for a fact that this guy has the one talking point today, and that is the election was fraudulent. So yeah, Liz, you can whine and cry and throw a tantrum. All you want. Fox news is trying to not have to pay $1.6 billion because of idiots like your boss going on the network and saying things that are knowingly
False. And that's the problem. But the damage is likely done to Fox news. That is in March ways
Than one at this point, because obviously, like I said, whether they deleted it from the clip posting online or not, it was still set on the network.
And now we all know it was sad cause Harrington's
Out there admitting it and even posting the actual quote of what Trump said. So yeah, that's pretty bad for Fox. What's also bad for Fox is that Harrington's little temper tantrum is going to off even more right-wingers who are no longer going to tune into Fox news. So it's a lose lose for Fox news. And I did not intend for that to rhyme, but it did. So we had to deal with that. But anyway, a lose lose for Fox news because you made the choice to put this idiotic loser on your network, knowing full well, he was going to whine and cry about things that were verifiably
False. You did this to yourselves
And I can't say I got any sympathy for you at this point.
