'Does he own Fox News?' This Democratic operative is making Trump furious

24 October 2024

Some Democrats avoid right-wing Fox News and its sister channel Fox Business altogether. But 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who has made a concerted effort to reach out to conservatives, was recently interviewed by Fox News' Bret Baier. And Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams has been a frequent guest on Fox News.

According to Axios' Sophia Cai, Sams' frequent appearances on Fox News are infuriating former President Donald Trump.

"Sams has appeared on Fox News several times in the past two weeks to throw darts at Trump, prompting the ex-president and his staff to fire off dozens of social media posts blasting Sams — and essentially accusing the conservative network of betrayal," Cai observes. "Zoom in:Sams, a longtime Democratic operative, was on Fox four times in five days last week. He brought up Trump's actions on Jan. 6, his refusal to release his medical records and his handling of the pandemic — all while defending Harris on one of Trump's go-to media outlets."

Trump has been raging at Sams on his Truth Social platform.

In one of the posts, Trump wrote, "Sams is just a below average guy, with memorized FAKE NEWS soundbites, almost all of which are WRONG." And in another, the former president ranted, "Does Ian Sams, Lyin' Kamala's Special Advisor, own Fox News? He is on all the time, as are so many other of her other supporters."

Sams, Cai notes, took another jab at Trump during a Sunday, October 20 appearance on MSNBC.

Sams told MSNBC, "I'm just a spokesperson. I don't know why Donald Trump seems to be spending his time TiVoing Fox News appearances and lashing out against spokespeople. That's not something the vice president does. She thinks more about the country and what she wants to do as president than who's on cable news talking about her."
