Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz claimed reporters asking Congressman and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) about former President Donald Trump’s recent dinner with Kanye West and prominent white nationalist Nick Fuentes is further evidence that the American people are fed up with traditional media outlets.
During Outnumbered Tuesday, Chaffetz had scathing remarks about reporters insistence on asking about Trump instead of more pressing matters.
“This spending bill that is before Congress, only got one or two questions from the media about that. We don’t have spending in place. We have this rail strike,” said Chaffetz. “You know? I just got to say this, this is why America hates the national media. Three questions about Donald Trump meeting with Ye and whoever that white, you know…”
“They want clicks!,” Harris Faulkner interrupted.
“That is so irresponsible! Before they talked about the rail strike, before they talked about the border, before they did all this, they got to talk about Donald Trump,” said Chaffetz. “This is why we hate the national media!”
