Donald Trump doesn’t have many supporters on television anymore, and he’s losing more by the day. The only network he could actually count on, Fox News, is not only becoming more critical of him every week, but its hosts are actually waking up and calling him out live on air.
Earlier today, Fox host Brian Kilmeade — one of the most clueless, die-hard Trump supporters the network has — gave White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders an earful as he condemned Trump for his recent decision to pull the U.S. military out of Syria. Kilmeade claimed that with this move, Trump has basically “refounded ISIS.”
During the interview, Sanders had to talk about several of Trump’s recent disasters, including a government shutdown, the loss of outgoing Defense Secretary James Mattis, and of course Syria. Once the topic of Syria came around, Kilmeade slammed the president for abandoning America’s Kurdish allies by withdrawing — and he couldn’t say enough about it. Kilmeade said:
He is giving Russia a big win. Vladimir Putin praised him. He also is doing exactly what he criticized President Obama for doing. He said President Obama is the founder of ISIS. He just refounded ISIS because they have 30,000 men there and they are already striking back with our would-be evacuation. The president is really on the griddle with this.”
Sanders, as per usual, gave an unsatisfying response and claimed “the idea that the president has had anything to do with helping ISIS reemerge is absolutely outrageous.”
But Kilmeade couldn’t be convinced otherwise. He continued to express his disappointment with the president, stating that “leaving is helping” and that “the word on the ground is different” from the administration’s assessment of ISIS. You can watch this brilliant moment below:
While many of Fox News’ viewers are too brainwashed to think for themselves, Kilmeade’s words will undoubtedly make some of them rethink their opinion of the president.
