MEDIA/RON DESANTIS: “Former President Trump ripped into Fox News on Tuesday [February 21, 2023] over its coverage of the political ascendance of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

‘So interesting to watch FoxNews cover the small and unenthusiastic 139 person crowd in Staten Island for DeSantis, but stay as far away as possible from coverage of the thousands of people, many unable to get in, at the Club 47 event in West Palm Beach, Florida,’ Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday.

‘I call FoxNews the RINO Network, and their DOWN BIG Ratings accurately reflect the name,’ Trump said, using an acronym referring to the phrase ‘Republican in Name Only.'”
