Now, even Fox News is cutting away from the Trump circus

The last time we checked in on White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, she was promising a landslide for President Trump on Nov. 3. Wrong: Trump didn’t win in a squeaker or a landslide. He lost, as major television networks — including home-base Fox News — declared on Saturday that the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket had prevailed in the electoral college.

Viewers of Fox News got a close look at McEnany’s aspersions on Monday afternoon during a live look-in on host Neil Cavuto’s daily 4 p.m. show. McEnany, at a news conference in Washington, said there is “one party in America that opposes verifying signatures, citizenship, residency, eligibility. There is only one party in America trying to keep observers out of the count room. And that party, my friends, is the Democrat[ic] Party. You don’t take these positions because you want an honest election. . . . You take these positions because you are welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting. Our position is clear: We want to protect the franchise of the American people. We want an honest, accurate, lawful count. We want maximum sunlight, we want maximum transparency. We want every legal vote to be counted and we want every illegal vote to be —”

Precisely at that point, Cavuto reached his limit: “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be clear: She’s charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”
