Trump attacks Fox News for platforming 'liberal activist' on 'fairly conservative' network

Donald Trump on Wednesday night lobbed a new attack at Fox News.

Trump, who has had an on-and-off grudge against the network for several years, now says the outlet is risking its "conservative" chops by platforming independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy was running as a Democrat before changing to independent.

"So bad that Fox News puts RFK Jr., considered the dumbest member of the Kennedy Clan, on their fairly conservative platform so much," Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.

"Competitive networks don’t want anything to do with him," he added. "He’s a Radical Left Lunatic whose crazy Climate Change views make the Democrat’s Green New Scam look Conservative."

Trump goes on to say RFK Jr. is "polling badly, 8% at best, but says he does well against Crooked Joe and me, one on one."

"WRONG, he gets trounced! Junior said I’m the 'best debater' in generations, and I want to debate him, and Crooked, but first he’s got to get his bad poll numbers up - a lot!" Trump added. "He would be 'easy pickins.' Republicans, don’t waste your precious vote on this phony Liberal Activist. With all of that said, he probably hurts Sleepy Crooked Joe more than 'US!'"

This isn't the first time Trump has attacked RFJ Jr. As polls have continued to suggest Kennedy could potentially pull from Trump's camp in the election, the former president has lashed out at the environmental activist on several occasions.
