'Propaganda': MAGA melts down as Fox News reports 'over 200' GOP staffers endorse Harris

Donald Trump supporters are lashing out at Fox News after the conservative outlet said Saturday that "Over 200 former Bush, McCain, Romney staffers endorse Harris." Fox News reported on Tuesday on an open letter calling on "'moderate Republicans and conservative independents' to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris." The agency pushed that story to social media over the weekend, leading to a full-on MAGA meltdown. ALSO READ: Why Trump’s Arlington controversy is actually a crime The Blaze contributor T.J. Moe said the news was actually, "Quite the endorsement for Trump, considering the entire GOP base hates the 3 of them," referring to George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. Ed Dans, a self-identified MAGA fan, said, "Yall suck so bad. Thanks for exposing yourself some more Paul Ryan." Ryan was appointed to the Fox Corporation Board of Directors in March 2019, the company says. William Mitchelson, a former prosecutor who promotes GOP talking points on social media, said the staffers "are probably bureaucrats who were already in various government jobs during the Bush administration or in Congress."Another former prosecutor who supports Trump, Jay Town, called the story "sad.""This is the biggest list of 'never heard of ems' in the history of politics. Staffers, secretaries, interns, and volunteers. Wow!!!!" he said on Saturday. Chris Barron, president of Right Turn Strategies and a "pro-Trump conservative," also chimed in: "Why is Fox covering this?" Barron asked Saturday. "This list of 'staffers' includes a guy who interned for Bush (who later did gay porn), a McCain intern, etc. This isn’t news. It’s propaganda." Michael Caputo, who worked for the Trump administration, shared Barron's social media post.
