Brit Hume to the Duce: Shut up!

Fox News’ Brit Hume Hits Donald Trump

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume pulled no punches on Thursday as he called out President Donald Trump’s latest Twitter tantrum as “ridiculous.”

Trump lashed out at The Wall Street Journal editorial board after it denounced his conduct at daily White House coronavirus task force briefings and urged him to quit appearing at them:

The Wall Street Journal always “forgets” to mention that the ratings for the White House Press Briefings are “through the roof” (Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale, according to @nytimes) & is only way for me to escape the Fake News & get my views across. WSJ is Fake News!
Hume, however, wasn’t having it.

“This is a ridiculous tweet,” he fired back on Twitter.

“He could get his views across without bragging, endlessly repeating himself, and getting into petty squabbles with the junior varsity players in the WH press corps,” Hume added. 

“And he could stop talking much sooner to give Pence, Fauci, Birx and Giroir more time.”
