Fox News politics editor Chris Stirewalt suggested on Friday that news outlets should stop sending reporters to President Trump’s rallies, saying that their presence allows Trump to use them as a “prop.”
In case you didn’t know, Stirewalt is a never Trumper who spent at least a segment a night with Meghan Kelly ripping Trump apart before the election. That’s where this is really coming from, that, and his pompous ass-ishness.
“We should stop having reporters at those Trump rallies,” Stirewalt said on Fox News’s “Outnumbered.” “Everybody should stop having reporters penned up like veal in the back of those things for the president to use as a prop, and then some of the reporters exploit that for their own personal benefit.”
