   Fox News cuts away from White House spokesperson's unsubstantiated claims of   
   voter fraud

   Not even Fox News has time for the Trump administration’s ongoing and   
   seemingly baseless assertion that the election was rigged.   
      
   Fox host Neil Cavuto cut into his network’s broadcast of a Monday afternoon   
   rant from Kayleigh McEnany, the White House Press press secretary who wildly   
   claimed that those who oppose President Trump are “welcoming fraud and   
   welcoming illegal voting" without offering any proof of her allegations.   
      
   “Whoa, whoa, whoa! I just think we have to be very clear,” said Cavuto,   
   interrupting the broadcast. “She’s charging that the other side is ‘welcoming   
   fraud and welcoming illegal voting.’ Unless she has more details to back that   
   up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”   
      
   Cavuto is considered one of the more moderate broadcasters at Fox News, where   
   McEnany was once a producer.   
      
   “Maybe they do have something else to back that up, but that’s an explosive   
   charge to make," Cavuto said Monday afternoon. “Not so fast."

   Cavuto told viewers that he would update them if McEnany produced any facts   
   to support her sensational charges. That didn’t happen.   
      
   President Trump has expressed his disappointment in Cavuto’s “loser show” on   
   several occasions, according to the Daily Beast.   
      
   Competing right-wing cable channel OANN didn’t let McEnany’s lack of facts or   
   substance influence their editorial practices.   
      
   “NOT cutting away from @kayleighmcenany @GOPChairwoman RNC Press Conference,”   
   tweeted Trump-supporting White House reporter Chanel Rion. “Imagine that.”   
      
   Trump has pitted Fox News against OANN on several occasions when he felt the   
   former wasn’t being sufficiently loyal.   
      
   The off-brand OANN cable channel has also courted his support.   
      
   “President Trump recently gave a speech thanking his supporters in the media   
   not a single mention of One America News — one of his GREATEST supporters,”   
   the site tweeted, then deleted in 2019, according to Vox news. "@OANN calls   
   bullsh-t.”   
      
   With most of the ballots in the 2020 election counted, Democrat Joe Biden   
   leads the president by nearly 4.5 million votes. The president and his team   
   continue to cling to the idea that they’re being cheated and threatened to   
   take their ambiguous case to the Supreme Court.
