Trump Calls Rep. Ro Khanna 'Sleazebag,' Says He Shouldn't Be Allowed on Fox News Unless Challenged

On Mother's Day, President Trump attacked Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna on Truth Social after his Fox News appearance, calling him a 'Sleazebag' and 'Radical Left Congressman from the failed State of California.' Trump argued Khanna 'should not be allowed on FoxNews unless you have an anchor who is capable of disputing his lies.' He accused Khanna of falsely taking credit 'on behalf of the Dumacrats' for the steel industry's resurgence, claiming 'the Dumbs virtually destroyed it, and I SAVED IT, through strong Tariffs.' Trump also criticized Fox News itself, suggesting the network makes it harder for Republicans to win elections by platforming Democrats without aggressive pushback. The attack represents Trump's ongoing pattern of demanding media outlets exclude critics and his use of holidays for political attacks. Multiple outlets including The Daily Beast and Just the News corroborated the Truth Social posts.
