President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of Fox News over the weekend. Trump accused the network of pandering to liberal lawmakers and “radical left haters.”
“Don’t get why @FoxNews puts losers on like @RepSwalwell (who got ZERO as presidential candidate before quitting), Pramila Jayapal, David Cicilline and others who are Radical Left Haters,” Trump said on Twitter on Sunday. “The Dems wouldn’t let @FoxNews get near their bad ratings debates, yet Fox panders. Pathetic!”
Fox News star Chris Wallace hosted Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., on his “Fox News Sunday” show just hours beforehand.
Cicilline shot back on Twitter, saying he was busy “safeguarding Democracy” while Trump was tweeting insults.

Trump has been increasingly critical of Fox News’ weekend hosts in recent months.
In July, the president called the cable news network’s weekend lineup “worse than low ratings Fake News @CNN.”
Trump implied that the network had become biased against him later in the summer.
“There’s something going on at Fox [News],” Trump told reporters in August. “I’ll tell you right now — and I’m not happy with it.”
