Over at Fox News, the honeymoon with President Trump certainly seems to be over.
Where the network would once put forth an effort to defend Donald Trump from the exorbitant weight of the attacks against him, they now run left-leaning hit pieces against the only man standing between America and democratic socialism.
Longtime Fox anchor Chris Wallace has been at the forefront of this movement, taking the administration to task several times in recent days. His latest bit of “resistance” schtick has him making some ludicrous predictions for this “formal impeachment inquiry”.
On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” anchor Chris Wallace said a “well-connected” Washington Republican told him that there is a 20% chance Republicans will vote to remove President Donald Trump in an impeachment trial.
Wallace said, “I talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington this week, someone whose name you would know well, who says that if the House votes to impeach and it gets to a trial in the Senate, there’s now a 20 percent chance, he believes —obviously that just an estimate — now a 20% chance enough Republicans would vote with Democrats to impeach the president.”
The prediction certainly doesn’t fall in line with the math that the White House has been doing, with acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney saying that the assertion was “simply absurd”.
