President Donald Trump on Tuesday faulted Fox News — “and the ‘audience,'” he said, using scare quotes — for being “so smiley and nice” with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during a town hall the network aired Monday night with the Democratic presidential contender.
Trump also noted that Fox News recently hired former DNC chair Donna Brazile as a contributor.
So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on @FoxNews. Not surprisingly, @BretBaier and the “audience” was so smiley and nice. Very strange, and now we have @donnabrazile?

Bret Baier, who co-moderated the Sanders town hall alongside Martha MacCallum, responded diplomatically.
Thanks for watching Mr. President – we’d love to have you on a town hall soon — or even an interview on @SpecialReport —it’s been awhile. We cover all sides. https://t.co/1EDeWFhNe7

It’s understandable that Trump’s upset about the town hall on what might otherwise be considered his “home turf.” The event went pretty well for Sanders:

They recognize a narcissist when they see one Donnie. That’s why you’re so popular there.
Poor Twumpie. He’s gonna take his sand shovel and bucket and go home and pout 'cause the kids ain’t playing the way he wants them to.
There is always Brietbart Donnie, or Blaze TV.
FOX was ready to pounce on Bernie the Socialist, and it blew up in their faces. Shocking, I know.
“FOX is MY propaganda TV network!”
He has every right to be upset, his bitch is flirting with a rival! What’s next? Ivanka dating Beto O’Rourke?
