'Straw That Broke the Camel's Back': Viewers Outraged That Fox News Airs Pence DC Speech but Not Trump’s

Viewers are declaring that they are dumping Fox News after the network decided to air former Vice President Mike Pence’s D.C. speech on Tuesday, but not former President Trump’s in an apparent political diss.

Trump spoke in Washington, D.C. at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) summit. Pence gave a speech at the Young Americas Foundation’s national student conference in DC just hours before the former president spoke. Conservatives were confused about why the network would air one speech and not the other. Some were livid over it.

Trump’s speech at the AFPI summit was organized by former senior officials in his administration. It was the first time that he had been in D.C. since President Biden took office in January 2021 and therefore was an important prelude to his possible candidacy in 2024.

“Fox News had Mike Pence’s speech on today but they did not have President Trump,” one person tweeted. “I won’t be watching Fox News again, today was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
