Baier said on Special Report this evening that he meant to use a clip from Trump’s interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.
In that clip, the former president talked of the “bigger problem” being “the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and are destroying our country.
It just had the piece about the town hall.” Both clips ran on Special Report tonight.
On Wednesday, after Harris had referenced Trump’s “enemy from within” comments, Baier introduced the clip by saying, “We asked that question to the former president today.
Harris Faulkner had a town hall and this is how he responded.” The Trump clip from the town hall then ran.
The vice president chastised Fox News for omitting Donald Trump’s call to use the military against political rivals, citing misplaced footage during a pivotal moment of his interview with Kamala Harris on Wednesday night.
This evening, Baier stated on Special Report that he intended to use a segment from Sunday’s Trump interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo. The former president stated that the “bigger problem” was the enemy that existed within the country, not the outsiders who were destroying it in that clip. We have radical left lunatics and some sick people. And if the National Guard is called upon or the armed forces are truly called upon, it ought to be simple enough to handle. “.
All that was shown, instead, was a snippet of Trump answering questions about his remarks about Bartiromo during a previous town hall with Harris Faulkner. They said that I was acting threateningly in the video that aired. I’m not putting anybody in danger. It is they who are making the threats. They conduct fake investigations. Overlooking Alphonse Capone in terms of investigation, I have. However, consider it. Government has become a weapon. It is a dreadful thing. “.
In an evening conversation with Faulkner, Baier stated, “I did make a mistake, and I want to say the mistake.”. I anticipated that the soundbite I requested would tie into the section from your town hall, Harris, where you question the former president about the “enemy from within.” This was based on an excerpt from Maria Bartiromo’s interview. There was only the town hall piece on it. “.
Tonight, Special Report aired both of the clips.
We asked that question to the former president today,” Baier said as she opened the video on Wednesday, following Harris’s mention of Trump’s remarks about a “enemy from within.”. This was the response Harris Faulkner gave at a town hall. “.
Then the Trump town hall video played.
The vice president then said to Baier, “Bret, I apologize, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about ‘the enemy within,’ that he has repeated when he is speaking about the American people.”. You didn’t just demonstrate that. When Baier attempted to interrupt her, she responded, “This is the main point.”. As you and I both know, he has said it numerous times. Furthermore, as you and I are both aware, he has expressed his intention to turn the American military against the people. He has expressed interest in pursuing those taking part in nonviolent protests. He’s made comments about imprisoning people who don’t agree with him. Democracy exists here. Furthermore, the President of the United States of America ought to be able to take criticism without threatening to imprison those who do so in a democracy. And this represents the stakes. “.
Social media users quickly shared the moment widely.
