Fox News personality Brian Kilmeade made a remarkable admission early Monday morning. “The Fox poll came out — and I was stunned by this,” Kilmeade said on “Fox and Friends.” “This says 50 percent of the country want the president impeached. I was stunned to see that that’s the number, because I thought that things were trending away.”
Actually, the Fox News poll released Sunday said that 54 percent of Americans want to see President Trump impeached. …
What Kilmeade is comparing these results to, though, is the conservative media narrative that emerged in recent weeks. It’s one that was espoused by Trump himself last week, when the president declared that his poll numbers had gone “through the roof” — especially, he said, “with independent voters and especially in swing states.” As we noted Friday, that’s not true. CONT.
