ox News Channel anchor Neil Cavuto cut away from campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany speaking at a Trump campaign press conference on Monday afternoon.
McEnany said, “There is only one party in America trying to keep observers out of the count room, that party my friends is the Democrat party. You don’t take these positions because you want an honest election. You don’t oppose an audit of the vote because you want an accurate count. You don’t oppose our effort at sunlight at transparency because you have nothing to hide. You take these positions because you are a welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting.”
Cavuto said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be very clear. She’s charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting, unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”
He continued, “I want to make sure that maybe they do have something back that up. That is an explosive charge to make at the other side is effectively rigging and cheating. If she does bring proof of that we will take you back.”
He added, “So far, she started saying right at the outset welcoming fraud, welcoming illegal voting, not so fast.”

Let's see ....any curiosity Neil? Have you forgotten what investigative journalism is?
I'm going to post, as a reminder, Sharyl Attkisson's instruction on the topic: 10 points addressing why you don't "have to have hard evidence" before making voter fraud allegations
It’s confusing to hear reporters & others claim “You have to have hard evidence before you make accusations” about improprieties in the 2020 election.
That’s untrue. Here are ten relevant points.
-- Accusations are made all the time, spurring investigations that may or may not turn up hard evidence.
-- Evidence doesn’t walk up, knock on your door, and present itself.
-- Those guilty of malfeasance or crimes tend to try to hide their acts.
-- Some evidence can only be gathered if the accusers are granted access to it.
-- Lack of evidence in hand is not proof that no crime occurred.
-- It’s reasonable and important to ask the questions and investigate.
-- Claiming it’s irrational to even ask the question only generates more suspicion.
-- Fraud doesn’t have to be “widespread” to make a difference.
-- Those who claim there was “no fraud” are making that statement without evidence. It’s impossible for anyone to know.
-- Ultimately, if no convincing evidence is presented, no charges will be filed and the question will have been answered.
There was a time not long ago when reporters would search for evidence, firsthand, rather than demand someone give it to them.
There’s no dispute there were, at the very least, errors involving many thousands of ballots in the 2020 race.
Considering the facts that have been revealed over the past four years, it would be irrational not to ask questions and suspect that bad actors would continue to do all they can to negatively impact President Trump.
Thorough investigations will presumably flag improprieties, if any occurred, by either side.
It is not wrong for both sides to fight for every legal vote. Allowing the process to be thoroughly fleshed out, rather than villainizing those who are asking questions, will allow for greater confidence in the final result during a very divisive time.

I used to rather like Cavuto, but his hatred of President Trump has distorted his perspective. I would not be saddened where he to leave Fox altogether.
Cavuto's a combo of canary in the coal mine and keystone species on FOX. He's been badmouthing Trump for a while, a couple of years at least. And NOTHING happened to him from the network. And when other FOX personalities saw that, and which way the wind was blowing, they began to join in.
