Trump Slams Fox News Reporter Over ‘Fake Spin’ Interview With Mark Kelly

President Donald Trump launched a scathing criticism of Fox News over the weekend, targeting reporter Peter Doocy for what he called a “politically correct” interview with Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D) amid an ongoing government shutdown battle.

Trump’s comments came as the standoff between Republicans and Democrats entered its second week, with each side accusing the other of holding up critical funding measures.

Doocy’s interview with Kelly, aired Sunday, focused on healthcare subsidies that Democrats want restored as part of a shutdown-ending deal—provisions Republicans argue should be debated separately from federal spending.

The exchange drew attention for what some viewers saw as a lack of pushback on Democratic talking points, prompting Trump to express his frustration on Truth Social.

Doocy, who has earned praise from conservatives for his tough questioning of the Biden administration, is typically regarded as one of Fox’s more assertive correspondents.
