James Comer: Defund NPR after 'jacked up' reporter accidentally hit Trump in face with mic

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) agreed that PBS and NPR should be defunded after a reporter's microphone accidentally brushed President Donald Trump's face.

During a Wednesday segment on Fox Business, Bartiromo told Comer that Trump had called for the public broadcasting agencies to have their funding revoked.

"I don't know if this is going to come up, but this was very striking, and really, I was struck by this incident," Bartiromo said of the microphone that touched Trump. "This seems to me it could have been real dangerous... Trump is talking to reporters, and a reporter is in the group with her microphone, and the microphone hits President Trump in the face."

For his part, Comer blamed a "hostile media" for the microphone flub.

"And they're jacked up," he insisted. "When I see them in the hall here in Washington, they're hostile. Their eyes are bugged out of their head. And I'm sure when you take Trump, you can multiply that times 10 with their hostility."

"So it is a dangerous situation, and we are concerned about that because President Trump is very accessible to the media," he added. "And I think that's something the Secret Service is going to have to take extra precaution about."

Bartiromo took the theory one step further by suggesting a spy could have infiltrated NPR to poison Trump with the microphone.

"I mean, you know, that could have been, I mean, an adversary could have used that against somebody putting something on that microphone, it actually hit him in the face," she opined. "That's dangerous."
