President Donald Trump thanked Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning for their coverage of “all of the failures the Obama Administration had against Russia, including Crimea, Syria and so much more.” Fox & Friends, well known as Trump’s favorite breakfast show, repeatedly covered former President Barack Obama’s policy on Russia Tuesday morning, slamming him for inaction on Kremlin influence in the 2016 election.

The show was particularly critical of comments Obama made during the 2016 election, in which he implored Trump to stop whining about the vote being “rigged.” The hosts of Fox & Friends decried Obama for those comments, pointing out that he knew about Russian attempts to interfere in the U.S. election back in 2016.

“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could

make his case to get votes.”


So how come the exit polls did not match the vote in so many places?
