Fox New Poll Finds 50% Support Impeaching Donald Trump, So of Course Fox News Is Lying About It

Fox New Poll Finds 50% Support Impeaching Donald Trump, So of Course Fox News Is Lying About It
Fox News

So on brand.

Fox News hosts were called out on Tuesday for misrepresenting the results of a poll conducted by its own Network.

Nearly every American has addressed, whether aloud or in their mind, one of the poll's most notable questions:


Do you think President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, or not?

Their answers might surprise you.

Though many Democrats are wary of launching impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump—fearing it would make the party look radical—at least half of Americans think Donald Trump should be impeached.

But that's not how Fox News characterized it.

Watch below:

The beginning of the video, posted by journalist Tommy Christopher, shows Fox News anchor Heather Childers presenting a graphic which she said indicated that "most voters don't want impeachment."

You may have noticed that the question "Should President Trump be impeached or removed from office?" was not the question responders were asked. Impeachment without the option of removal was another question the poll asked.

Fox News Poll

As indicated in the poll results above, 50% of Americans think Donald Trump should be impeached, with 43% believing that impeachment should lead to removal from office and 7% thinking the process impeachment without removal would suffice.

On America's Newsroom later that morning, the poll had been corrected to show the itemized answers.

Despite its own data indicating that more Americans want Trump impeached than not, America's Newsroom host Bill Hemmer asked contributor Byron York to elaborate on the 48% number without drawing attention to the fact that 50% of Americans think the President's behavior has warranted impeachment hearings.

Fox News's misrepresentations aside, Americans were buoyed by the idea that more of the public was warming up to impeachment.

Awkward.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
