"Some people have said, if the Republicans win in the midterms, it just puts the brakes on what Joe Biden and the Democrats are doing," Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy noted.

"Henry was later accused of 'slut-shaming' Eckhart when his legal team added 15 explicit photos to a court filing that sought to dismiss the ex-Fox employee’s lawsuit, prompting Eckhart to file the 'revenge porn' count and additional retaliation charges.
