Reporter Apologizes After Calling Out Trump’s ‘Bull****’ Live On Air
The 2026 midterm elections were more important than ever. Control of Congress was up for grabs amid many open seats in the Senate and the House. While he wasn’t on the ballot, President Trump attended rallies across the country to garner support for the Republican nominees.
However, it soon became clear as the results started to come in that the Democrats were ahead in several tight races. President Trump took to social media to vent about his longtime press ally, Fox News.
Sky News’ U.S. correspondent Mark Stone was reporting on the election from outside the White House. He went ahead and read one of the President’s Truth Social tweets about the results. The reporter was forced to apologize on-air for calling out Trump’s “bull****.”
“The FoxNews Poll, always the worst, is so insulting with the questions they ask. Every question is a hit job, and every answer is “BULL****! “This has been going on for years. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the reporter read from Truth Social. He quickly apologized to viewers at home for using profanity.
President Trump has used profanity quite often on social media, during rallies, and even in interview from the Oval Office. However, television standards still have a ban on the use of certain expletives, prompting Mark Stone to apologize.
President Takes Aim At Fox News After Shocking Midterms Losses
President Trump constantly cites polls that are favorable to him while blasting outlets as “fake news” if they report a less flattering poll. Fox News is one of the few conservative news channels. They usually have only good things to say about Trump.
But Trump’s Truth Social post calling out the network’s “bull****” wasn’t the only insult he hurled at Fox News after the election. He wrote another scathing post blaming the channel for Republicans losing so badly. Trump was especially peeved that his longtime nemesis, Bill de Blasio, was on the network. Bill de Blasio served as the mayor of New York City from 2014 until 2021.
“Why does FoxNews have Bill de Blasio, the Worst Mayor in the History of New York City, on air, ranting and raving like a Lunatic? He left the City in disgrace, and the damage he caused was incalculable — it has never been the same, and now he’s telling us how to run America,” the President wrote.
He continued, “FoxNews bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the Democrat opposition, and worse. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
In addition to posting on social media, the President called into Fox News during its live election coverage. He called the network’s Democrat contributor, Jessica Tarlov, a “loser,” among other insults. Share your thoughts on Trump’s profanity-laced social media posts in the comments.
