Brett Byer says Trump looked "terrifying" at a hearing on January 6th.

• Fox News’ Bret Baier said Trump “looks scary” at a committee hearing on January 6.
• Bayer, the network’s top political correspondent, did not keep his critical view of Trump secret.
• The bitter words came after criticizing the editorials of two other editorials owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Fox News’ Bret Baier said on Sunday that a picture drawn by the Commission on January 6 made former President Donald Trump “look scary.”

Network Chief Political Anchor Bayer talked about “media buzz” in response to Trump’s actions and communications during a Thursday session (focused on about 187 minutes of the Capitol riot)-violence Includes keeping complete silence during deployment.

Bayer, a longtime critic of Trump, said, “Laying out all these 187 minutes makes him look scary, but that’s really what it is.” According to Bayer, the contrast between Mr. Trump’s negligence and former Vice President Mike Pence’s attempt to coordinate the administration is “very compelling.”

“Hearing it and looking at it in chronological order can be very powerful,” he said.

Bayer is particularly convincing at hearings that emphasize criticism by former Trump supporters and members of his administration, including former National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger and former White House spokesman Sarah Matthews. Said there is.

“All of these people who testified at some point wanted Trump to win,” Bayer said. “They served under his leadership. They wanted him to succeed.”

Whether that changes the view of Republican voters is another matter, Bayer said.

“The accusation is that it’s just out of balance,” he said, citing ongoing criticism that the hearing was one-sided. (Parliamentary Commission hearings are to publish the findings that have already been established, and Republican leaders boycotted their involvement in the Commission.)

Bayer also sought details on what Trump said about mobilizing National Guard prior to the riots. If Trump took such an action, Bayer said, “It gently crushes or downplays the idea that he wanted this riot.”

The Washington Post, which has access to some of those conversations, reported that Trump never ordered the army.

Bayer’s criticism of Trump against Rupert Murdoch’s network is not unexpected, despite Fox’s very conservative tendencies.

However, they by no means reflect the mainstream view of networks. Fox’s hottest opinion host, Tucker Carlson, was former Trump strategist Steve on Friday, hours after Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress for not attending a hearing. -Invited Bannon to his show.

Banon called for a “real” hearing, unfoundedly saying that the current bipartisan committee was presenting “lie and misrepresentation.”

However, last week’s hearing prompted another bitter editorial from two Murdoch properties, the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal.

“Trump has failed,” the journal editorial board said on Friday.

“Trump’s silence on January 6 is terrible,” said the New York Post editorial board.

Two cases of clear accusations from outlets that were reluctant in the past were seen by some commentators as a sign that Murdoch was shifting further towards Trump.
