Fox News Host's Laughable Attempt At Defending Trump Ends Up Shredding Him Instead

Fox News Host's Laughable Attempt At Defending Trump Ends Up Shredding Him Instead
Fox News

Fox News personality Mark Levin was widely mocked after he referred to former Republican President Donald Trump as "kinda stupid."

The insult was meant to be a defense of Trump's actions after federal agents combed through his Mar-a-Lago estate on a hunt for documents the former POTUS took from the White House in violation of federal laws and presidential protocol.


Levin said it would be "kinda stupid" of Trump if the allegations against him turned out to be true. Levin noted people about to commit crimes typically don't do things like leave video cameras in their homes on all the time or commit the crime in the presence of the Secret Service.

You can hear what Levin said in the video below.

Levin just weeks ago called the search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago “the worst attack on this republic in modern history, period."

The duly executed search warrant was requested by the Department of Justice (DoJ) after the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) notified them of Trump removing documents from the White House and not returning them as requested by NARA.

Trump—like all President's since the establishment of the Presidential Records Act of 1978—was required to turn over all documents to NARA. Instead, NARA noted Trump took them with him to Mar-a-Lago.

Mar-a-Lago is accessible by any individual who can pay the membership fee and members of the public who book facilities or attend events at the resort such as weddings or birthday parties. Surveillance video from Mar-a-Lago seemed to indicate the documents Trump took were not guarded or always kept in a locked room—despite some being classified or top secret.

On Sunday, Levin said:

“Let me ask you a question: If you’re gonna commit a crime, do you keep the video cameras in your home on, 24/7?”
“I don’t know, would you? Seems kinda stupid, doesn’t it?”
“Or would you do it in front of the Secret Service? I don’t know, that seems kinda stupid, doesn’t it?"
“Well, that’s what you’re expected to believe.”

Trump continues to face heavy scrutiny in the days since he alerted the world the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executed a search warrant for his Mar-a-Lago estate.

In the days since the search, sources said Trump was in possession of classified material—including nuclear secrets—that prompted the intelligence community to voice concerns about national security.

Trump denied he broke federal government policy regarding classified documents.

He claimed he had the ability to declassify any and all documents and did so under a "standing order." But this defense was disputed by experts who noted a specific federal process must be adhered to before any information can be declassified.

But the classification of the documents is largely immaterial.

Trump was required to turn over all documents to the NARA when he vacated the White House.

As far as social media users were concerned, Levin's assessment of Trump was accurate.




Levin has long been one of Trump's more passionate supporters.

In 2019, he was criticized for declaring "there hasn't even been a hint of scandal" while Trump was in office.

Levin's claim prompted many to accuse him of spreading misinformation about an administration that from its earliest days was dogged by allegations it colluded with Russian operatives to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election and had also been accused of campaign finance violations, nepotism, overcharging the government to stay at the Trump properties the POTUS was constantly at as well as other misdeeds regarding the Trump family business and its associates.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
