Newsmax Slaps Very Awkward Note On Screen During Donald Trump Interview
HuffPost
Critics on social media suggested the chyron meant one thing.
Conservative network Newsmax appeared to pre-empt Donald Trump’s possible repetition of his baseless 2020 election fraud claims during the former president’s live telephone interview on Tuesday.
“Please Note: Newsmax accepts the 2020 election results as legal and final,” read a chyron that appeared on screen during the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s conversation with guest host Corey Lewandowski, his 2016 campaign manager.
The message popped up as the talk turned from Trump’s Middle East strategy to his fear-mongering that “we won’t have a country left” if he doesn’t win the 2024 election.
“We are laughed at,” Trump said shortly after the note aired. “They think we’re fools. They can’t believe that Biden is the president. And we’re gonna turn that around. We’re gonna turn it around very fast.”
The interview then ended.
