Former President Donald Trump on Monday took to social media to hit "weak and soft" Fox News Channel over the channel's planned interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, set for this week.
Harris' campaign on Monday announced that the VP had agreed to sit down with Fox's Bret Baier on Wednesday.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, "Lyin' Kamala Harris has wisely chosen Bret Baier, of FoxNews, to do a much needed interview, because he is considered to be 'Fair & Balanced,' though often very soft to those on the 'cocktail circuit' Left.
"I would have preferred seeing a more hard hitting journalist, but Fox has grown so weak and soft on the Democrats, constantly polluting the airwaves with unopposed Kamala Representatives, that it all doesn't matter anymore," Trump said.
Harris' interview will be pre-recorded and is set to air Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET during Baier's "Special Report," which will be broadcast from the battleground state of Pennsylvania. It will be Harris' first formal sit-down with Fox News.
Trump also ripped Fox News on Monday for giving Harris' campaign what he says is disproportionate airtime.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, "How much time does Ian Sams, Senior Advisor to Lyin' Kamala Harris, spend on FoxNews?"
Trump said Sams "spent much of the weekend hitting 'TRUMP,' totally unopposed," adding that "Sams is just a below average guy, with memorized FAKE NEWS soundbites, almost all of which are WRONG."
Trump said his interview Sunday with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo was "followed up all day long by one-sided, negative Democrats, including Ian Sams, who virtually owns the Network.
"It's not worthwhile doing Interviews on Fox, because it all just averages out into NOTHING," Trump said. "FoxNews has totally lost its way!"
