GOP Senator Visibly Flips When His Fox Hit Gets Derailed By Tech Problems

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) grew visibly frustrated on Tuesday as audio issues derailed his Fox News interview.

Thune joined Sandra Smith and John Roberts on America Reports on Tuesday to react to President Donald Trump’s fiery address to the UN General Assembly in New York City that morning.

While speaking with Smith about the United States’ “indispensable” role in the UN, Thune had an audio issue, at one point telling Smith or someone else that he was “back.”

“We’ll work out these audio issues as I throw to this,” Smith said, then rolling a clip of the president discussing illegal immigration and the “failed experiment of open borders” during his UN speech.

“As only he can, touting his own policies,” Smith said in reaction to the clip, with Thune seemingly hearing her as he chuckled in reaction.

As Smith continued, Thune rolled his eyes and shook his head in frustration, facing more tech problems.

“Okay, we appear to still be having those audio issues,” Smith said as Thune boiled on the screen.

Smith then cut to another Trump clip where the president blasted countries over plans to recognize a Palestinian state amid Israel’s war with the terror group Hamas.

While waiting for Thune, Smith and Roberts carried on the segment.

“I think with Sen. Thune, I think the person running the studio may be the same person running the teleprompter and the escalator,” Roberts joked, referring to Trump facing an uncooperative elevator and a non-working teleprompter that morning.

Thune tried joining the conversation one more time and appeared to be hearing Smith as she discussed the Trump clips, but when it was time for an answer, it was clear that technical problems had taken their final blow.

“Alright, we’re done,” Thune told someone off camera, ending the segment.
