President Donald Trump has largely soured on the conservative Fox News network, deeming its coverage too critical and urging his supporters to switch to even further right wing media outlets like Newsmax and One America News.
But at least one Fox anchor remains in the President's good graces: Maria Bartiromo.
Earlier this year, Bartiromo was heavily criticized for failing to challenge Trump's absurd claims that widespread election fraud coordinated by Democrats tipped the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden. An interview earlier this summer, in which Bartiromo praised Trump's "resilience" and willingness to "get right back up and keep punching," was dismissed as flattery under the guise of journalism.
Now, Bartiromo is echoing Trump's lies that he's the actual legitimate winner of the 2020 election instead of Joe Biden—who earned over 7 million more votes than the President and whose 306 electoral votes have already been cast.
According to Bartiromo, an anonymous "intel source" told her that Trump actually won the election.

Bartiromo said on Fox Business:
"An intel source told me that President Trump did in fact win the election. He says that it is up to the Supreme Court to hear suits from other cases across the country to stop the clock."
The claim flies in the face of assertions made by Trump's own officials and rulings issued by courts at every level, including two Supreme Court cases in which the conservative Court denied standing to arguments seeking to overturn Biden's victory.
Bartiromo offered no corroborating information on the baseless claims, and soon Twitter began roasting her fealty.
@MariaBartiromo has officially tested positive as delusional. https://t.co/H3FAs5kVhp

Fox “Business" Channel sounds more like fascist propaganda https://t.co/3bOVwioHIM

Oh, NOW they're all for anonymous sources. https://t.co/BMEbBl00Th

If the likes of @MariaBartiromo, @SeanHannity & @SRuhle are allowed on the air w/major networks while clearly lacking in journalistic integrity, it begs the question of why when it's clearly against the public good. Who does it benefit to keep the people uninformed? #corporations https://t.co/YbAPUTI59Z

Ok. I try not to get political on here. But this is downright insane. What is wrong with people? Why do tv executives even allow this garbage on their network? It doesn't matter who you voted for, this stuff isn't reality. This isn't the tv show @scandal. #EnoughAlready https://t.co/be6yxAbjBi

Trump's lies about the election and their subsequent amplification from figures like Bartiromo have prompted frequent reminders that Trump did, in fact, lose the election.
For those I follow and who follow me, my two cents: I never followed Trump. I didn't have to because so many I follow would and do retweet his insanity. About ten days ago I stopped responding to any of his psychotic tweetbursts. It's over. He lost bigly. Mute him. Ignore him.

Somebody needs to tell this guy that @realDonaldTrump lost and lost by over 7million votes and 74 electoral votes. There's no such thing as Alternative Electoral voters. This is a scam. God Bless America and save us from the delusional Trump supporters! #BidenWon https://t.co/KXcX5qmMsX

People please stop give Trump your money! PLEASE IGNORE @realDonaldTrump ! Stop feeding his ego & giving him the attention he craves & the money he needs! He knows he lost. It's a con to get money from his sucker followers! Stop empowering & enabling him! 🙏🏽
