“Fox & Friends” was not happy after news emerged Tuesday that President Trump will back down from his threat to shut down the government if Congress does not allocate funding for his long-promised border wall. On set, show co-host Steve Doocy expressed disbelief and called it a victory for Democrats and Nancy Pelosi.
“What a stunning turn of events,” Doocy said. “If he agrees to the [continuing resolution] which would continue funding the government at the current levels … he loses and the Democrats will win everything they want.”
“Some are wondering ‘is this a win for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer?’” fellow co-hostย Ainsley Earhardt said, to which Doocy shouted “yes” before she could even finish her sentence.
