Fox News Retracts Fake News HIT PIECE on Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 07/07/2023 | Jordan Dixon-Hamilton

Posted on 07/07/2023 5:56:15 PM PDT by AnthonySoprano

Fox News retracted a hit piece against former President Donald Trump and admitted they “inaccurately attributed” an anti-Trump quote to former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.

Fox News’s story had the following headline: “Former Trump Cabinet member tells him to ‘kiss’ his ‘butt.”

The since-retracted, purportedly exclusive story read, in part:

EXCLUSIVE: Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price told Fox News Digital there’s “no way” he will support former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.

When asked whether he will endorse Trump, Price said, “After he fired me? No way.” “The only thing that guy has more of than fake tan is narcissism,” Price said in an emailed statement to Fox New Digital. “He can kiss my big medical butt.”

In 2017, Trump fired Price after Politico revealed he took multiple taxpayer-funded private jet trips for personal reasons.

Dan Diamond, the reporter who broke the Price story in 2017, said Price never communicated with Fox News about the story.

He was fired for taking taxpayer funded trips for personal reasons, if the story is correct. How is that unfair?

I only watch Fox for “Life liberty and Levin”, and once that show is over off it goes.

She really said that? How the hell would she know? I heard the area they found the coke is an area where you would need to be escorted by security UNLESS you were someone like Hunter.

If FOX doesn’t provide the correct attribution, it’s obvious they made it up, maliciously.

That is hilarious. If there is any butt kissing going on in HHS, it would be done by Marxist Brandon’s very own extremist progressive Rear Admiral Raunchy Levine, Butt Kisser expert, and Transportation Secretary Peter ButtGig.

When out of a job every loser in D.C. sucks up for another one.

It’s why it’s so hard to find honest people there it’s all about money not America.

When they wake up they say I love me I love me............

Well stated.

He’s easy to see through and we probably haven’t seen the last of him on the national scene.....unless he stays in the background doing his dirty deeds there.

Fox is Full of Never Trumper Staffers.

I looked up some Producers around 2020 - and they donated to McCain and Lindsey Graham and some DNC Committees.

With Tucker off, it’s lost all semblance of seriousness, but has embraced light entertainment of a semi-barbed and safe “conservative” variety. Doesn’t really amount to much, and eventually makes you wonder why you’re wasting your valuable time.

if that is what he did... and he served at the pleasure of the president... there is NOTHING unfair at all about his dismissal. You’re fired!

it’s a real thing.
