His frequent appearances on the batshit crazy Alex Jones show were no problem, his 9/11 Truther conspiracy theories were no problem, his neo-Confederate Civil War revisionism was no problem, but Fox News suspended froggish “legal analyst” Andrew Napolitano this week after Donald Trump cited him as a source for his bogus claim that the British helped President Obama spy on Trump Tower.
A Fox News spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Monday night. The Dow Jones Newswire also reported the story, along with speculation that Napolitano wouldn’t be gone too long from Fox. The longtime commentator and purveyor of conspiracy theories has a significant following.
The move would distance Fox News from allegations that British officials, as well as National Security Agency Director Michael S. Rogers, have denounced as false. In tweets earlier this month, Trump accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in what he called a “Nixon/Watergate” plot.
So even Fox News felt they needed to distance themselves from Napolitano’s risible, inflammatory nonsense, but our so-called president has yet to do so.
