Several prominent Fox News hosts could not believe what they saw Monday in President Trump’s overtly deferential presser with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The joint conference in Helsinki took a turn for the shocking when, after being asked by Reuters whether he held Russia responsible for meddling in the 2016 election, Trump said he holds “both sides responsible.” The president also directly contradicted his own intelligence officials, saying he believes Putin when he says Russia did not intervene in the election.
Following the presser, Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto—appearing on the Fox Business Network—called it a “disgusting” display.
Trump was “essentially letting the guy get away with this, not even offering a mild, a mild criticism,” Cavuto said. “That’s what made his performance disgusting. Only way I feel. Not a right or left thing to me. It is wrong.”
Fellow Fox host Stuart Varney, who routinely boosts Trump’s policies, bashed the president for what was “not a very forceful presentation.” Two of the conservative host’s guests joined in, saying Putin came out ahead.
“He outmaneuvered our president,” FBN business reporter Ashley Webster said. “I was very surprised. I thought Trump was going to push hard.”
Fox & Friends Weekend host Abby Huntsman—daughter of Jon Huntsman, Trump’s ambassador to Russia—also minced no words in criticizing the president whom she regularly defends.
“No negotiation is worth throwing your own people and country under the bus,” she wrote in a forceful tweet following the presser. Her comment appeared to be pushing back on an emerging pro-Trump argument that the president’s deference to Putin was a means to making diplomatic in-roads with Russia.
Some of the network’s political correspondents seemingly agreed that Trump had failed.

Why shouldn't we make " diplomatic in-roads " with Russia ???
What ?? we forgive Germany .... But , we can't forgive Russia ?
I think you will find that the most submissive, deferential, and gimp-like Trump supporters are message board Republicans.Fox reporters are turning on trumpy
Undoubtedly, we will continue to see them defend the Orange Pig with every fiber in their being to the bitter end.
I mean, we are talking about the exact same message board Republicans who were the last remaining dead-enders defending George Dumbya Bush right to the very bitter end of his disastrous failed presidency.

Not Hannity, currently, after the usual Obama "whataboutism," is comparing Trump today to Reagan, peace thru strength and all that, doesn't make sense but the Kool Aid don't care.
Now he's showing Trump's post Putin interview, the usual, witch hunt, media bashing, all the great things he's doing, and real Americans really know the truth
It really is a comedy, but sad knowing the Trumpkins actually swallow this sh*t

I'm not sure what that has to do with this summit? But to make a comment like this, about his own country, is damn near treasonous IMO.
"When Trump was asked by a U.S. reporter whether he believes Putin or his own intelligence officials, who unanimously say Russia did intervene for Trump, he replied by criticizing the FBI for not doing enough to investigate Democrats.
“My people came to me,” Trump said, speaking of intelligence officials including his director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and “they said they think it's Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it's not Russia. I will say this, I don't see any reason why it would be."
