Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump and the son who is most politically involved, had some extremely harsh words for Fox News Channel when he spoke to Newsmax host Chris Salcedo on “The Chris Salcedo Show,” saying that the network is full of RINOs who blacklisted MAGA conservatives.
Such is what Mr. Trump explained on Monday, October 6, noting that the RINOs who inhabit Fox News Channel have bade it utterly unwatchable, as they go to extreme lengths to make the network seem unbiased, and end up just alienating most of their conservative audience members in the process.
Commenting on that aspect of how ridiculous things have gotten at the network that was once solidly in President Trump’s corner, Don Jr. explained that he now finds the rampant both sidesism on the network too tiresome to watch, “Honestly, I don’t watch it anymore because it is so ridiculous,” he said.
Continuing, he explained how it is the fact that RINOs at the network feel the need to prove they’re not biased to the right in their reporting that has made it terrible, as in the end they end up just being biased against conservatives. He said, “They try so hard to be unbiased that they’re actually biased against conservatives at this point.”
He then added that this really shouldn’t be all that much of a shock, as the same network “banned” him and his father in the wake of January 6. “But this shouldn’t be surprising,” he said. He continued, “These are networks that banned me for two-and-a-half. I’m barely on anymore. I know my father was banned.”
Then, further reinforcing his point about how the tedious desire of the supposedly conservative cable hosts to show “both sides” of the matter has ended up ruining it, Mr. Donald Trump Jr. told Salcedo, “The conservatives try so hard. They want to show both sides.” Watch him here:

His father has made a similar point as of late. Sounding off on FNC for airing Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and his lies about the shutdown, President Trump said, “Why is FoxNews and Peter Doocy putting on Democrat Senator Mark Kelly to talk about, totally unabated or challenged, Healthcare? The FAKE SPIN is so bad for Republicans that it is hard to believe that we WIN. It will be very unfair, in the future, when they don’t have “TRUMP” to fight for them. Therefore, we should fix it, NOW!”
Continuing, he noted, “I’m watching this Interview. It just doesn’t end. Fox should either get on board, or get off board, NOW, but at this point, it just doesn’t make any difference to me. They suck up the Ratings because of us, and then spin them in the Democrats’ direction.”
And commenting on the same matter of network bias against the right as his son, the president said, “They refuse to put up Polls that correctly show me at 65% in Popularity, a Republican RECORD, but if I have a fake bad “Poll,” many of which are done by Fox (One of the worst “Pollsters” out there is the FoxNews Poll), they put them up immediately, and with gusto. Republicans are so tired of this fight with Fox always trying to be so “politically correct!” Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
