Patrons at French Bar Interrupted Fox News' Live Coverage of the U.S. Women's World Cup Victory With the Perfect NSFW Chant

They said what we're all thinking.

A lot can go wrong during a live broadcast. Fox News was reminded of this when they cut to a reporter inside a sports bar in Lyon, France after the United States national women's team won a record fourth World Cup.

The reporter Greg Palkot barely gets a chance to say where he is when the crowd behind him begins a chant. But instead of "USA" or another form of traditional support for the winning team, the crowd chose something quite different.


They shouted:

"F**k Trump!"

There is little love lost between the new World Cup champions—who repeated their victory from the last global tournament—and the President. President Donald Trump began an attack via Twitter on national team co-captain Megan Rapinoe after old video of her saying she would not visit the White House surfaced.

The President has a habit of not inviting women's championship teams anyway, so there was no invitation to refuse when Rapinoe made her comments. But many who believe in equality for women, minorities and LGBTQ people are reluctant to visit the Trump White House.

With the contentious relationship between the White House and the women's national team, it is unclear if the crowd chant was in support of the World Cup champs or strictly a commentary on President Trump intended as a message to Fox News viewers.

After MoveOn.org senior video producer Sara Pearl shared the footage, it quickly climbed to almost 6 million views. And a hashtag was born:

#F**kTrump

The United States President found few allies in the comments on the video.

People pointed out the reporter's reaction once he realized exactly what the crowd was saying.

People seized the opportunity to poke fun at a recent Trump foible regarding the advent of air travel. During his July 4th address, the President claimed Revolutionary War forces took control of airports.

Some made sure to tag the official presidential government Twitter account.

One man stated the video gave him and a houseplant life.

And another suggested Fox News crews should receive the same welcome wherever they film live remotes. It turned out some people had.

While it is unclear if the crowd was US citizens visiting France for the World Cup or a more international crowd, Sara Pearl had her own interpretation for the meaning of the chant.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

Can a man's haircut tell you his political affiliation? Scientifically, of course not... but we probably all have a gut feeling about it, regardless!

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
