I was going to call you the Fox News of the SDMB, but then you accepted the correction. Fox News would never issue a correction!

It’s not quite lying, but Rond Sandass has actually criticized Fox News for not being harder on Trump.

“That $700 should have been used to keep those migrants locked up!”

I can only assume that’s what they’re trying to imply. Not sure how. Or are they shaming the NYC for having money? As if that’s some kind of anomaly.

I’m guessing that $700 figure was pulled out of their ass as well. Or do they have a copy of the receipt?

As I suspected, wrong color . . . the scarf, the scarf, clearly it’s the scarf that isn’t Fox News’ favorite color.

Could have been worse. They could have made a whole _thing_ about how much his house costs.

Republicans who display wealth are successful businesspeople who should be admired. Democrats who display wealth are out of touch elites.

And the color thing too, of course. POC who display wealth are inherently suspicious.

Maybe the mayor’s cap got them mad. The lettering on it apparently says “MAGAS ARE ASSHOLES”.

At this point it’s a rumor.

If you were to ask me to guess, the answer is no and Tucker is doing it as a stunt to grab attention since he has no real platform anymore. It’s probably his last gasp before he has to beg on Cameo for rent money like Rudy Giuliani.

No doubt they believe the emblem on that scarf means “Fuck Fox”. And all of a sudden, I find myself hoping they’re right!

Unlikely. [Fox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_James_Fox) was one of Washington’s supporters.

The scarf does look pretty goofy, but not headline-worthy goofy.
