Wait Fox News is reporting this? WTF. Did they just change stance?

I can only imagine this is intended to improve the perception of Russia among their audience.

the writings on the wall. Trump has never faced an opponent like Harris. even the cucks in the media can see it. rats jumping to pretend to be behind the winning side

Honestly, Fox have been putting distance between themselves and Trump for a little while.

They can see he's nuts and also that Team trump means risking jail time.

Add to the fact that the election is now a toss up, and being seen as not R enough for Trump is a lesser evil than getting dragged through the courts on treason charges.

Doesn't mean that they've changed their heart, just that the rats know when to abandon ship.

They probably spun (or will spin) it to mean that the "crooked Joe Biden's" administration will persecute Trump at all costs and "invalidate his future win"
