President Donald Trump bashed Fox News after the GOP lost numerous races in the midterm elections, stating the network bears "responsibility for these losses."
Democrats took control of both the Senate and the House on Tuesday evening, flipping seats in historically deep red states such as Texas, South Carolina and Kansas — dramatically tilting power in Washington.
Following the elections, President Trump argued that because Fox News "constantly and consistently" hosted figures such as former mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio (D-N.Y.) in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections, the network ultimately led to the success of the Democrat party across the United States.
"Why does FoxNews have Bill de Blasio, the Worst Mayor in the History of New York City, on air, ranting and raving like a Lunatic? He left the City in disgrace, and the damage he caused was incalculable — It has never been the same, and now he's telling us how to run America. FoxNews bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the Dumocrat opposition, and worse. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" Trump posted on Truth Social.
On Tuesday, Trump stated that Fox News ratings were reportedly down by 27%.
"FoxNews Ratings are way down (27%!) because they're spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats! All of those people who used to watch Fox, and no longer do, get it. It's them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that 'TRUMP' is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, 'TRUMP' is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else!" he said. "Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others? No wonder FoxNews Ratings are collapsing, and they're going to go down a lot further. They're way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It's happening again!"
In a press release last week, Fox News reported 1.1 million average viewers for October, down about 27% from the same month a year before.
