Fox is lost!!! President Donald Trump railed against Fox News on Wednesday, comparing the network to CNN after it dipped out of the House hearing on police reform following the death of George Floyd. “More like CNN!!! Fox is lost!!!” the President said in his tweet rant. Speaking with Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto by phone on Tuesday, at least one Fox contributor definitely wasn't courting the President's affections, when he lashed out at Trump's divisiveness and lack of leadership, zeroing in on the staged photo-op conducted by the White House at St. John’s Church. Meanwhile, Sean Hannity said on Tuesday night that Trump, like Floyd, has been a victim of the police. “Even the president himself, it’s not the same thing as what happened to George Floyd, but it’s horrific. He was a victim of corrupt cops,” said Hannity. Cut him off! Also, Dr. Cornel West got in a remarkably heated back-and-forth with civil rights attorney Leo Terrell on Hannity's show. The back-and-forth continued and got so heated that Terrell started repeatedly saying, “Cut him off!” House Judiciary Hearing Philonise Floyd gave an emotional address before the House Judiciary Committee and demanded action for racial justice following the death of his brother at the hand of police. “I’m here to ask you to make it stop. Stop the pain, stop us from being tired. George called for help and he was ignored. Please listen to the call that I’m making to you now," said Floyd.
