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.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
