Brit Hume, a senior political analyst at Fox News, defended his colleague Chris Wallace on social media Monday after President Donald Trump attacked the “Fox News Sunday” host in a scathing tweet.
“Just watched Mike Wallace wannabe, Chris Wallace, on @FoxNews,” Trump said Sunday, referring to Wallace’s late father, the former “60 Minutes” correspondent for CBS News and journalistic icon who died in 2012.
“I am now convinced that he is even worse than Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Meet the Press(please!), or the people over at Deface the Nation,” Trump tweeted as he compared Wallace to the other Sunday morning hosts he frequently derides. “What the hell is happening to @FoxNews. It’s a whole new ballgame over there!”
