NEW: Trump Explodes On Fox Information Star, Rips Her Congressman Husband: ‘He Likes Voting Against Trump’
President Donald Trump tore into Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich over the weekend, accusing her of letting Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) run what he called a “FAKE” narrative on-air without real pushback.
The president’s blast came after Heinrich’s interview with Khanna on The Sunday Briefing, where the California Democrat ticked through complaints about prices, the war in Iran and the Epstein files.
Khanna told Heinrich, “Gas prices are up, food prices are up… people don’t like the fact that we’re in a war in Iran, that the Trump administration hasn’t released the Epstein files.”
Khanna also claimed he was “horrified” after seeing Chinese steel at the Port of Cleveland, then argued for a tougher line on Beijing.
“The president needs to make it clear to China that they should not be opening up manufacturing in the United States, subsidizing it, and violating the law,” Khanna said. “We want to have steel be American steel, not be importing Chinese steel, and we don’t want China playing unfairly.”
Trump, in a series of Truth Social posts May 10 and May 11, said Heinrich failed to challenge Khanna’s claims and argued it undermined what he views as Fox’s broader messaging.
“You could listen to FoxNews all day long, absolutely devour it, but then, when you hear SLEAZEBAGS, like Congressman Ro Khanna, ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing,’ LIE, LIE, LIE, AND LIE AGAIN, without any pushback, or competent rebuttal from an anchor, in this case, Jacqui Heinrich, the entire Common Sense dialogue that has been going on all day at Fox is completely obliterated!” Trump wrote.
Trump also widened his attack to Fox’s guest lineup, taking shots at other figures he says benefit from appearing on the network.
“Why would Fox put SCUM like this on, or others, such as Low Rated Bill Maher, who gains ‘credibility’ by constant referral to him as though he were a Liberal source of ‘Wisdom,’ or very Low IQ Hakeem Jeffries, who considers the Supreme Court ‘illegitimate,’ and probably hates our Country,” Trump continued.
Trump claimed the presence of Democratic guests and what he called a lack of real-time fact-checking fuels frustration among his base.
“No matter how ‘Fair and Balanced’ the day’s News at Fox may be, the end result is destroyed by professional Liars, Conmen, and Liberal, Crooked Politicians,” Trump wrote. “This is why MAGA Republicans, who are actually close to 100% of the Party, hate Fox, despite the wonderful contributions made by so many of their great anchors and commentators. Hard to win Elections like this!”

In an earlier post, Trump argued Khanna should not be booked unless Fox pairs him with an interviewer prepared to aggressively dispute his points.
“The Sleazebag, Radical Left Congressman from the failed State of California, Ro Khanna, should not be allowed on FoxNews unless you have an ‘anchor’ who is capable of disputing his lies, one after another, and closing down his FAKE (Bullsh*t!) narrative. He is similar, but worse than Hakeem Jeffries, only with a somewhat higher IQ,” Trump wrote.

Trump also took a swipe at Heinrich’s fiancé, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.).
“He likes voting against Trump,” the president wrote.
Khanna fired back with his own post, saying his Fox appearances are part of his broader pitch to reach voters outside the Democratic base.
“This is why I go on Fox,” Khanna wrote. “This is why I talk about an economic agenda to build steel, ship & battery plants in hollowed out communities. This is why I talk to everyone, including Trump voters, without hurling insults. This is how Democrats will win & unite the country.”
Trump has increasingly vented at Fox in recent months, even as the network remains a major platform for Republican politics. Heinrich has not publicly responded to the latest posts.
