Raging Trump pal unravels at Fox News CEO with vomit of sexist profanities

Far-right activist Laura Loomer erupted at Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott with a string of sexist profanities Thursday after the network canceled a podcast appearance at the last minute.

Loomer had been invited by an unnamed Fox host to discuss her recent reporting trip to Ukraine, where she made headlines this week by reversing her longtime support for Russia.

The recording was set for 4 p.m. — then Fox pulled the plug with 20 minutes to go.

"I was just supposed to record a podcast episode with a Fox News host who invited me on their podcast to discuss my reporting in Ukraine," Loomer wrote on X. "I was supposed to record at 4 pm EST, but then they canceled on me 20 minutes before our interview because Fox News management said they can't have me on."

"What a miserable b—!" Loomer wrote.

Loomer claimed the snub is part of a decade-long pattern, alleging Scott placed her on a blacklist in 2017.

"I've been on this blacklist since 2017," she claimed. "When Pete Hegseth and Judge Jeanine worked for Fox News and tried to have me on, Suzanne Scott (a liberal) told them they couldn't have me on and would be reprimanded if they interacted with me on X," referring to former Fox host Jeanine Pirro.

"I'm told she allegedly directed the entire network to not cover my trip to Ukraine," she added.

CNN reported in September 2024 that Fox mentioned Loomer just once the week she flew with President Donald Trump to his presidential debate.

Loomer has previously called Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) a "lunatic hooker" and a "harlot" during a social media feud, and has lobbed profane insults at other women in public life.

Associated Press reported this week that Loomer traveled to Kyiv and interviewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reversing years of pro-Russia rhetoric. Fox News, she said, refused to cover any of it.

"Censorship is alive and well at Fox News," Loomer wrote.

Fox News host caught 'mugging' at Fauci hearing forced to eat her own words

"The Daily Show" delivered a hysterical response to Fox News host Laura Ingraham's expressions during the Senate hearing for Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday.

Ingraham was sitting behind Fauci as Republicans unleashed attacks on the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing.

"The Daily Show" zoomed in on Ingraham, pairing her reactions with a montage of her own words.

"Watching Laura Ingraham make faces at Fauci's hearing while listening to Laura Ingraham complain about other people making faces," "The Daily Show" wrote on X.

In the video, Fauci responds to lawmakers and invokes the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, while Ingraham appears to mock him.

"The smirking for the camera... the smirk she had on her face... shaking her... shaking her head...and she just kind of rolled her eyes, mugging for the cameras, and at certain points it almost seems like a competition for the camera," the audio played, showing footage of Ingraham shaking her head and rolling her eyes.

"Her little charade for the cameras isn't just an example of conduct that is boorish and rude, arrogant and rude, always performing for the cameras," the video continued.

"Taking a selfie like a junior high school girl" — then the video showed a shot of Ingraham taking a selfie during the hearing.

Ingraham was part of a group of people seated behind Fauci who Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) referred to as "shamed" and asked to stand up if they believe they have faced backlash or negative impacts over the COVID-19 pandemic.


Fox News slams 'diseased' TV star for anti-Trump tirade: 'Eating himself alive'

A Fox News host on Wednesday responded critically to the star of Amazon's show "Reacher" after the actor spoke out against President Donald Trump — and didn't hold back.

Greg Gutfeld discussed his thoughts about Alan Ritchson, who got heated about the Trump administration during an episode this week of Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert." Shepard had asked Ritchson if he could let go of the resentment he feels about Trump.

“No, I don’t know, man,” Ritchson replied. “I can let go of the resentment and then what does that do for the world? It allows these predatory f---ers to just continue. Look at the politics that we deal with right now. The White House is in ruins—a f---ing UFC cage on the Lawn. And you just do it. You just f---ing do it and nobody says anything and no consequences!”

Gutfeld slammed Ritchson, calling the star "physically fit but spiritually he's diseased."

"He's not enjoying himself," Gutfeld said. "This is not TDS. TDS is something else. There's something deeper."

Gutfeld was referring to Trump Derangement Syndrome, a term often used by the president and his allies to describe what they see as irrational, excessive, or emotionally driven hostility toward Trump.

"It’s the resentment that is eating him alive, and he's essentially poisoning himself — and no amount of squats and bench presses are going to get rid of that," Gutfeld claimed.

'Who exactly are you talking to?' Trump stumbles when pressed by MAGA Fox News host

President Donald Trump's negotiations with Iran have even stumped Fox News, The New Republic reported.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade grilled Trump during an interview Tuesday after the president had claimed talks were underway "right now," despite Iran’s foreign ministry saying the country has no interest in direct talks.

"We hear that you’re talking right now with leaders on Iran,” Kilmeade told Trump. “But Iran has come out publicly and said ‘we’re not talking to the U.S.—"

"Well, they just came out and said ‘we are talking’ a little while ago," Trump said, interjecting Kilmeade's comment.

"So could you tell me who you’re talking to, Mr. President?" Kilmeade asked.

Trump avoided directly answering the question.

"For some reason, we can be in the midst of a beautiful discussion, and they’ll come out and say 'we’re not talking' or 'we didn’t discuss nuclear,'" Trump said. "Well, that’s all we discussed, because they’ll never have a nuclear weapon, they understand that. We’ve had some very good talks."

Trump then shifted the conversation to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

"It does not inspire confidence when the president can’t confidently say who he has been in contact with while supposedly trying to negotiate an end to his increasingly unpopular and expensive war," The New Republic reported. "This conversation came after a recent pause in violence in the region, and ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House on Tuesday—in which he most likely lobbied Trump to start bombing Iran again."

'Are you eating lettuce recently?' Trump stumped by Fox News reporter's question

President Donald Trump appeared caught off guard Friday by a Fox News reporter's question about lettuce causing "explosive diarrhea" — asking the president to confirm when Americans can eat the vegetable again.

Trump seemed stumped over the question from Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who pressed the president for more information about the cyclospora parasitic outbreak during a press conference in the Oval Office.

"There’s this nasty parasite that's given people in nine states explosive diarrhea. When is it going to be safe to eat lettuce again?" Doocy asked.

"I don't know. I haven't thought about it. That's the first time I've been asked that question. Are you eating lettuce recently?" Trump responded.

MAGA freaks out as Fox News interviews Pete Buttigieg: 'Why aren't you defending Trump?'

MAGA loyalists were furious Friday as Fox News interviewed Democrat and Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Buttigieg spoke with anchor Sandra Smith about tariffs, President Donald Trump and his second administration and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

MAGA social media users were livid over the conversation and made it known — even attacking Smith for the sit-down.

"Sandra Smith is terrible at interviewing. She allowed Pete Buttigieg to spew lies, walk all over her and spin her questions. She was completely outmatched by one of the worst candidates on the left. Between her and Turner, not sure if I’m watching CNN or Fox," X account RepubFrank, who frequently shares MAGA-related content, wrote.

"Why aren't you defending President Trump and his policies with this idiot Pete Buttigieg and allowing him to speak lies !!!! Your not even interrupting him once !!!!" User Maria Tambasco, who often shares pro-Trump posts, wrote on X.

"Why is Sandra Smith not pushing back on Pete Buttigieg?" Pro-MAGA user Sherry Cappello wrote on X.

"Disgusting tongue bath for 20 minutes. Nice objectivity @SandraSmithFox," user SirGern, who self-identifies as "MAGA/MAHA," wrote on X.

Fox News host walks back on-air attack against 'communist' — but doesn't apologize

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy walked back a comment live on-air Monday after she called longtime television personality Van Jones a "communist."

Campos-Duffy took a moment during the broadcast to clarify what she said — and did not apologize for it.

"I said that Van Jones was a communist — I guess he’s a former communist just like Karen Bass says she used to be a communist but she was trained in the fields and in the youth brigade in Cuba. So we'll see. He says he's not a communist anymore. OK," she said.

The move comes after Campos-Duffy said earlier Monday that Jones was a "communist" and "power-seeking person," which she later corrected during the segment.

Jesse Watters sparks firestorm as 'absolutely disgusting' joke on Fox News backfires

Fox News host Jesse Watters was called out online Thursday after trying to crack an off-color rape joke that backfired.

The co-host of "The Five" commented on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's plan to screen troops for low testosterone when he attempted to make a crack, which left his fellow hosts silent.

"You know what's going to happen? The guys that don't need it are gonna take it — triple boost. And then they're going to get out there and women on base, you better be careful," Waters said. "Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out."

His fellow panelists appeared stunned by the remarks. The internet had plenty to say.

"This guy holds the undisputed crown for brainless commentary," journalist Carla Marinucci wrote on X.

"Please tell me joking about rape has not become acceptable on your network, @FoxNews?" Travis Akers, a retired intel officer, wrote on X.

"Fox News is joking about rape," Alleria, a prominent YouTuber and liberal political commentator, wrote on X.

"What an absolutely disgusting statement, but not surprised since Fox News and Republicans support rapists *cough cough Donald Trump cough cough*," progressive political commentator Kellen wrote on X.

"'And fellas, couldn't hurt to keep a jar of Vaseline handy in case the girls won't play!'" Michael McKean, actor and comedian, wrote on X.

"Jesse espousing rape because guys on testosterone can't help themselves. JFC," user Mz. Cabibi, a probation officer and veteran, wrote on X.

Stephen Miller's tribute to Lindsey Graham on Fox News immediately blows up in his face

The internet mocked White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller after he told Fox News that politicians should serve for "love of the game" and "not for personal enrichment."

Miller was talking to conservative host Will Cain when he described the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and his dedication and work ethic. The comment raised eyebrows after reports of President Donald Trump and his family raking in billions — between crypto schemes and defense technology investments — during the president's second administration.

"You want senators who love being a senator, who embrace what it means, who embrace the opportunity, who seek no personal enrichment," Miller said.

Social media commentators noted the remarks.

"With a straight face," user SMR_MD, who self-describes as a "burned out Chicago ER MD" with more than 13,000 followers, wrote on X.

"Personal enrichment is only for Republican presidents," Hemant Mehta, podcaster and political commentator, wrote on X.

"Allllllllllllllrighty then," the popular influencer account Spiro's Ghost wrote on X.

"Right, Trump has enriched the lives of Americans from sea to… HE’S MADE BILLIONS FROM CRYPTO SCAMS…shining sea," political commentator Chris Robinson wrote on X.

JD Vance gets shot across the bow as Fox News calls for Trump to put in new negotiators

Knives were out for Vice President JD Vance — and coming from an unlikely ally, The Daily Beast reported Thursday.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade fired off a tough demand and called for the Vice President to be pulled from the Iran negotiations.

“The one thing we need is a different negotiating team. If we go to negotiations and that’s a big if, this team can’t do it,” Kilmeade said.

Vance has stumbled through two rounds of high-stakes talks — first in Pakistan, then Switzerland — and has appeared shaky on the details of the deal he helped broker.

Instead, the Fox anchor argued that Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff should turn their attention to Ukraine as pressure grows for the U.S. to reach an agreement amid escalating fighting this week. As the fragile truce has unraveled quickly, Tehran has struck back at American allies from Qatar to Jordan, and both sides are trading blame over who broke the ceasefire first.

Kilmeade referred to current negotiators as "a waste of time," and claimed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been "calling the shots."

"We should demand different people," Kilmeade said. "The foreign minister is a waste of time, and the speaker is a waste of time. The IRGC is calling the shots. So, why are we pretending to talk to the other guys? Talk to the people who make the decisions. Knowing ahead of time that they’re not to be trusted."
