“The media is watering their pants just thinking about Trump in handcuffs,” Gutfeld said, criticizing other cable news channels for showing Trump’s plane landing at LaGuardia Airport and discussing the former president’s trial.
“I’m so glad, Martha, the press covered his arrival like OJ [Simpson] in a white Bronco,” Gutfeld said. “And everybody wants him back because he paid the mortgage. He is the one who makes everyone watch the news.
“We covered it like that,” said MacCallum, who hosts “The Story,” which shot live footage from LaGuardia repeatedly during the first 20 minutes of the program until Trump’s plane landed. Fox News reporters also reported live from outside the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
MacCallum later joined Gutfeld in criticizing the media.
“What I mean is, you know, there’s a lot of excitement at the beginning of this impeachment process,” he said. “Now they are angry. Because they were angry with those who were paying attention to the procession. He is angry that the polls have been good. They are mad that [Trump] raised $7 million during this time, and he was very nervous, I saw, this evening.
Trump flew to New York City from Florida on a private plane to face charges for paying porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump is scheduled to surrender at the Manhattan DA’s office on Tuesday. He will be fingerprinted before entering the courtroom to enter his plea, which is expected to be not guilty.
