Trump Had Yet Another Meltdown Over A Female Reporter

by Lee MoranBuzzFeedHuffPost Writer

Donald Trump — no stranger to verbally attacking and insulting female reporters in recent months — lashed out at Fox News host Jacqui Heinrich on Sunday after she dared to interview a Democratic lawmaker who criticized him on air.

During an appearance on The Sunday Briefing, California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna predicted Democrats will win back the House in November’s midterm elections because “gas prices are up, food prices are up, people don’t like the fact that we’re in a war in Iran, they don’t like the fact that the Trump administration hasn’t released the Epstein files or held the Epstein class accountable.”

Trump responded with a 180-plus-word Truth Social rant attacking both Khanna and Heinrich.

He began: "You could listen to FoxNews all day long, absolutely devour it, but then, when you hear SLEAZEBAGS, like Congressman Ro Khanna, ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing,’ LIE, LIE, LIE, AND LIE AGAIN, without any pushback, or competent rebuttal from an anchor, in this case, Jacqui Heinrich, the entire Common Sense dialogue that has been going on all day at Fox is completely obliterated!"

“Why would Fox put SCUM like this on, or others, such as Low Rated Bill Maher, who gains ‘credibility’ by constant referral to him as though he were a Liberal source of 'Wisdom,' or very Low IQ Hakeem Jeffries, who considers the Supreme Court ‘illegitimate,’ and probably hates our Country,” Trump continued. “No matter how ‘Fair and Balanced’ the day’s News at Fox may be, the end result is destroyed by professional Liars, Conmen, and Liberal, Crooked Politicians,” Trump said.

Then he concluded: “This is why MAGA Republicans, who are actually close to 100% of the Party, hate Fox, despite the wonderful contributions made by so many of their great anchors and commentators. Hard to win Elections like this!”

In an earlier post, Trump said Khanna “should not be allowed on FoxNews unless you have an ‘anchor’ who is capable of disputing his lie, one after another, and closing down his FAKE (Bullshit!) narrative.”

Khanna responded on X, writing that he goes on Fox to talk about things like what he described as Trump’s “economic agenda to build steel, ship & battery plants in hollowed out communities."

This is why I go on Fox. This is why I talk about an economic agenda to build steel, ship & battery plants in hollowed out communities. This is why I talk to everyone, including Trump voters, without hurling insults.

This is how… https://t.co/5ZCRxJ3xjt

"This is why I talk to everyone, including Trump voters, without hurling insults,” he added. “This is how Democrats will win & unite the country.”
