Fox Host Jumps To Fact-Check Trump Immediately After Press Conference Over Election Lie: ‘While He May Feel A Certain Way—’

Seconds after former President Donald Trump ended a press event, Fox News host Harris Faulkner jumped in to quickly correct a Trump claim “about a stolen election” — a claim that’s especially radioactive on the network.

Despite a brief period during which he admitted defeat, Trump continues to falsely claim he was the true victor in 2020. That lie was at the center of a blockbuster defamation settlement that Fox News paid to Dominion Voting Systems.

On Tuesday afternoon’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Outnumbered, Faulkner followed Fox’s coverage of Trump’s press event at Mar-a-Lago with an instant fact-check before going on to describe the event — at which Trump took no questions — as “compelling”:

DONALD TRUMP: We’re going to make this country greater than it has ever been. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.

HARRIS FAULKNER: So you heard there, this is Mar-a-Lago, the home of the former president, Donald Trump. And you heard there that he was going to give a statement, have a few guests. That’s exactly what he did.

He was very honed in on important issues that voters say, that they’ve identified as the most important in their lives right now.

At the very beginning, you heard the former president talk about a stolen election. And while he may feel a certain way, the facts remain.

Joe Biden was declared the winner with 51% of the vote. The states certified those results of the 2020 election and Congress accepted those results.

Now, the nation is moving toward November 5th with tens of millions of people already voting, setting voting records, early voting records in places like battleground Georgia.

And he spoke for nearly an hour about, again, the issues compelling, with video, with guests, about the border, the economy and so much more. Welcome to Outnumbered.
