Fox’s Neil Cavuto to Trump: ‘I don’t work for you’

Fox host Neil Cavuto fired back at Donald Trump’s criticism of the network.

• Earlier this week, Trump tweeted “Fox isn’t working for us anymore!” in a Twitter tantrum.
• On air Thursday, Aug. 29, 2019, Cavuto said, on camera: “… we don’t work for you. I don’t work for you. My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you. Just report on you ― call balls and strikes on you.”
• Cavuto also called out Trump’s lies and misleading statements: “I’m not the one who said tariffs are a wonderful thing. You are. Just like I’m not the one who said Mexico would pay for the wall. You did. Just like I’m not the one who claimed that Russia didn’t meddle in the 2016 election. You did. I’m sorry if you don’t like these facts being brought up, but they are not fake because I did. What would be fake is if I never did.”
• He added: “Hard as it is to fathom … just because you’re the leader of the free world doesn’t entitle you to a free pass. Unfortunately, just a free press.”
