In response to controversy over Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro campaigning with Trump, Fox claimed that it “does not condone any talent participating in campaign events."

But Hannity campaigned with Ron DeSantis and Matt Gaetz earlier this year. mediamatters.org/blog/2018/11/0…
Pirro, Lou Dobbs, Greg Gutfeld, Pete Hegseth, and Sebastian Gorka all headlined fundraisers for Republican candidates and groups this cycle.

#ff @ehananoki who reported on those DeSantis and Gaetz events when they were promoted in June.

After his report went live, Gaetz's campaign pulled a Facebook promotional video that included video of Hannity praising Gaetz on Fox. mediamatters.org/blog/2018/06/2…

When everyone is on board with the White House talking points.
Presidential adviser and Fox host Sean Hannity: "This is a national emergency, it's time to build the wall."
Presidential adviser and Fox host Lou Dobbs: "This president is leading the nation on a national emergency that only he can solve and has the political will. The American people, all they need is a strong leader. He's it."

1. Trump’s Fox cabinet returned from vacation yesterday and urged him to “stay strong” on the shutdown. mm4a.org/4Qt
2. For the first 10 days, Trump had to watch the B-team cover his shutdown. But now Hannity, Dobbs, and company are back, and they are continuing to egg him on.
3. Trump's Fox cabinet has been a problem for a while. But we are now moving toward a dynamic where they possess real veto power over government actions.

Alright. Time to identify all of the Trump-Fox livetweets that I missed while I was off for the holidays.
I've nailed down around 20 Trump tweets that appear to respond to Fox programming. There are certainly more, but there are a few factors making it more complicated -- lots of tweets about the wall and Syria and the economy that could be, but are not definitively, live-tweets.
I'll start with 12/21.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:06 am

Doocy: Will McConnell use the nuclear option to get the wall?
Earhartdt: "So far the president has not tweeted about that."

Right, Trump, 8:02 am

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Everyone stop what you are doing and read this complaint. Specifically read the parts where instruction are given on how to produce messaging to different American sub groups. This is exactly the horseshoe theory we’ve been seeing and posting about. justice.gov/opa/press-rele…
1. Notice the Kremlin’s own racist assumptions and weakness when directing the messaging, but also notice the issues the got right. Ask why these were important to them and note the parallels with Mr. Trump’s own rhetoric/policies. Here’s their guidance for LGBT POC messaging.
2. Most folks who have noticed or interacted with suspected Kremlin trolls and bots will recognize the time difference issue and know when the trolls show up to work in St. Petersburg. Here is their guidance on timing.
