Fox News anchor Shepard Smith went off-script during his Thursday afternoon show to defend reporters after President Trump lambasted the media at a press conference earlier in the day.
“It’s crazy what we’re watching every day. It’s absolutely crazy. [Trump] keeps repeating ridiculous, throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we’re some kind of fools for asking the question. Really? Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening and we’re fools for asking the questions? No, sir. We are not fools for asking these questions and we demand to know the answer to this question,” Smith said.
