Role at the time: Host of Greg Kelly Reports on Newsmax
Response to this claim
Trump says Fox News bears responsibility for Republicans' losses in the November 3, 2026 midterms because it constantly and consistently puts the Democratic opposition on the air.
“I agree with President Trump, conservative media, especially Fox News, bears a hell of a lot of responsibility for what went down.”
Why we used this label
The reference point is Trump's election-night claim that Fox News bears responsibility for Republicans' losses in the November 3, 2026 midterms, one of several complaints he made that night about the network's guests, ratings and polls. Kelly says he agrees with Trump and repeats that Fox News bears much of the responsibility, which supports Trump's assignment of blame. He adds his own criticism of Fox hosts but does not dispute or qualify Trump's claim.
