Fox News’ Bret Baier on Tuesday was criticized by President Donald Trump for being “smiley and nice” to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during his town hall appearance on Monday night — and his supporters immediately started slamming him with angry messages.

“So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on Fox News,” Trump said of the town hall. “Not surprisingly, Bret Baier and the ‘audience’ was so smiley and nice.”

In response to Trump’s tweet, Baier took the high road and invited Trump to have his own town hall on the network.

“Thanks for watching Mr. President — we’d love to have you on a town hall soon — or even an interview on Special Report,” he wrote. “It’s been awhile.”

Baier’s polite push back was not enough to quell the rage of some Trump supporters who were furious that Fox had given Sanders a platform in which he attacked the president for being a “pathological liar.”

Check out some of the angry replies below.

Now Donna can give the questions to the Dem candidate before a debate while working for FOX News. Fair and balanced cheating.

https://t.co/9RAhJrIQjd – Softball question Baier was trying to look like Shep, Chris Wallace, or Leland with his "Socialist crush" on stage. Don't offend the Leftists Bret (D) Baier. We love some of you at Fox still! @GregGutfeldShow @OutnumberedOT #FoxFlipsDemocrat @OANN

The audience was sure stacked in his favor. Bernie's Medicare plan fails to account for Tort Reform, Eye care, Hearing Aids, Dental or doctors who drop out due to earnings ceilings, etc.

Did Bernie address what happens to the 180m w/private insurance, the private healthcare companies and their employees and the medical community’s stance? And last, where has this model proven successful? Fox did him a favor, not the other way around. I do like Bret and Martha.

Tough questions asked, no. You let him skate on his Medicaid for all program Why didn’t you ask him if he’s going to mandate salaries of doctors? And if he answered yes, which he would have to do to be honest, ask the effect that will have on availability across the country.

It is nauseating to see what @BernieSanders is tweeting about the “debate”… nothing but attacks on Fox and President Trump, and using the audience there to say we, the true Trump supporters, also buy into the socialism nonsense. disgusting. How did you let this get so weird?

We don't forget, Bret. You were the moderator on the debate panel when Megan "Where Did She Go?" Kelly AND Chris Wallace hammered him. You had to have given them the green light. @rushlimbaugh stated that he had on good authority you were told to tank DT.

@FoxNews is gradually going into the dark side! I was shocked to see them bowing to him! What pisses me off is that CNN and the other haters treats all of us not only the President all of us like shit! No respect nothing! They call for violence against republicans and you 😘💩🤮
