Former President Donald Trump pulled no punches on Wednesday while railing against Fox News and a member of the board of its parent company, Paul Ryan, the former Republican speaker of the House and VP candidate.
“Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding:
He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As a team, they never had a chance. Rupert and Lachlan, get that dog off your Board – You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Trump’s broadside comes a little over a week after Ryan was interviewed on the network by Neil Cavuto who asked him if he still believes Trump is an “authoritarian narcissist.”
“That’s pretty strong,” Cavuto said of Ryan’s past criticisms of Trump.
“That’s the way I feel,” Ryan replied. “I voted for him in 2016, hoping that there was gonna be a different kind of person in office. And I do think character is a really important issue. If you put yourself above the Constitution as he has done that shows you’re unfit for office.”
Ryan went on to blast Trump for his actions surrounding the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and his refusal to accept the 2020 election results.
“I don’t support Biden either,” added Ryan during the conversation. “I think his policies are terrible.”
Ryan’s comments made headlines across the media, but as Media Matters notes, Fox itself did not cover them – except for Greg Gutfeld who took a shot at Ryan.
