Fox News Veers Left
[American Thinker] The continued listing to port of Fox News, which rose to prominence precisely because it cut through the politically correct swamp fog that passed as media news just as Donald Trump sliced through the swamp itself on his way to the White House, was on full display on Fox News Sunday when host Chris Wallace joined Democrats whose latest charge of Trump racism occurred when Trump reminded Baltimore Rep. Elijah Cummings that conditions in his rat-infested congressional district were worse than conditions in ICE detention centers on our porous southern border with Mexico.

Chris Wallace took the occasion of his interview with White House Chief of Staff Mitch Mulvaney to attack President Trump and his tweets pointing out the Cummings’ and Democrat double standard, As Red State reported:

For those who are unfamiliar with the story, in a series of predawn tweets, Trump wrote:

Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous.

His district is considered the Worst in the USA. As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cummings’ District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.

Finally, he wrote: "Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!

This was all Wallace needed to unload on Mulvaney, who was going to have none of this latest recitation by Wallace of Democrat talking points which ignore the bitter truth of what Trump tweeted:

#7 Chris Wallace is worse than CNN. I saw the above segment. Mulvaney was stunned at how idiotic Wallace was Fox News sounding.
