Throughout the rest of the discussion, which lasted nearly six minutes, chyrons were aired describing Schultz as a “Wisconsin Trump Voter” and O’Connor as an “Iowa Trump Voter.” O’Connor would also tell Hemmer that he has “nothing to hide” and, therefore, doesn’t care if Musk has access to his Social Security number.
One of the guests told The Independent that Fox News did not ask him about his past political campaigns during his recent conversations with the network, adding that he’d appeared on the channel in the past and first came in contact with Fox a couple of years ago.
Two Fox News guests who were portrayed by the network as run-of-the-mill “Trump voters” on Tuesday are both heavily involved in Republican politics, with one working as an assistant to an elected GOP official and the other a multiple-time candidate for local office.
During a Tuesday broadcast of America’s Newsroom, anchor Bill Hemmer moderated a discussion featuring two supporters of President Donald Trump, both of whom enthusiastically backed the efforts by the administration and Elon Musk’s meme-based department to dismantle government agencies and slash federal funding.
While Schultz spoke, Fox News also displayed an on-air graphic detailing his age, hometown, votes for Trump, and occupation, which was listed as “research assistant.”.
