Trump Blasts Fox News for Platforming 'Dumocrat Jihadists'

President Donald Trump went after Fox News again on Tuesday, accusing the network of giving airtime to what he called "Dumocrat Jihadists" over Republican candidates.

TheWrap reported that Trump wrote on Truth Social that Fox News "spends more time covering the Jihadist and Dumocrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans." He specifically cited interviews with Independent Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn and Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Trump questioned why Martha MacCallum gave El-Sayed a "softball interview" while he never gets the same treatment. "Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA," he wrote. "They have totally lost their way!"

A day after speaking at a Nebraska campaign event where he mused about letting Iran "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego, Trump also criticized Fox News for focusing on Osborn instead of incumbent Republican Senator Pete Ricketts.

"Fox News is long form interviewing the sleazebag, Dan Osborn, right now, who is running against our GREAT Republican Senator, Pete Ricketts, from Nebraska. Why are they doing this???"

This is not the first time Trump has lashed out at Fox News this month. TheWrap noted that on Sept. 30 he asked why the network always puts Democrats like Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and Jessica Tarlov on to say bad things about him. A few days later he complained about lack of coverage of his Ohio rally and accused Fox of forcing Tarlov "down MAGA’S throats."
