ZitatIt's rare for a Democratic lawmaker to thank a Fox News host, but that's exactly what Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) did after Fox News anchor Shepard Smith ripped the Trump administration's handling of the investigations into Russian election meddling.
"More liberal propaganda against @realDonaldTrump," Lieu wrote on Twitter. "Oh wait, this is from Shepard Smith w/ @FoxNews. Thank you Shepard for telling the truth."
Smith, who hosts "Shepard Smith Reporting" on the conservative-leaning news network, delivered a diatribe against the Trump administration's failure to disclose a list of meetings and contacts with Russian nationals and officials held during the 2016 election and presidential transition.
"Why is it lie after lie after lie?" Smith said on the air Friday. "If you come on clean - my grandmother used to say, 'oh, the tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.'"
"The deception, Chris, is mind boggling," he continued, referring to Fox News' Chris Wallace. "And there are still people out there who believe we're making it up, and one day they're going to realize we're not."
