President Donald Trump dropped a scorched-earth attack on Fox News and anchor Martha MacCallum on Tuesday, jabbing MacCallum for interviewing Abdul El-Sayed.

While MacCallum slugged it out with the Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. Senate on her show Monday, Trump slammed the interview as “softball” and bemoaned, “She never interviews me like that.”

“FoxNews spends more time covering the Jihadist and Dumocrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans, the people that have saved America, and are making it great again. All they talk about is Dumocrat Jihadists like El-Sayed, with his softball interview by Martha MacCallum, and the like,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding:

She never interviews me like that. They don’t show my record breaking Rallies the morning after, but others do, and that’s what MAGA is watching. Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA. They have totally lost their way!

Fox News and Trump have long had a close relationship with the leading cable news network featuring some of Trump’s closest allies in the media, such as veteran hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

He continued his attack in a subsequent post:

FoxNews is long form interviewing the sleazebag, Dan Osborn, right now, who is running against our GREAT Republican Senator, Pete Ricketts, from Nebraska. Why are they doing this??? The “other side” doesn’t give our people any positive exposure or airtime. It is a miracle that I won, the last by a landslide, three Presidential Races! President DJT

Trump also attacked the network in late September.

“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans.

“This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He later added, “Our Nation is doing really well, in many ways, better than ever before, but the Public just doesn’t know how well we’re doing. The Fake News Media refuses to disseminate our Record Setting Numbers, so I’m doing the best I can to do it myself!”

Notably, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) very rarely appear on the network. Jeffries last appeared on the Sunday Briefing in June, while Schumer has not been on in years.

Trump also fumed at the network after it parted ways with Maria Bartiromo after she allegedly relayed internal guidance about some of Trump’s recent election rigging claims to Trump aide Peter Navarro.
