“Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt defended colleague Chris Wallace during an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Thursday after he said the “Fox News Sunday” anchor did a “terrible job” during the first presidential debate last week.
The back-and-forth comes after Cruz defended President Trump’s decision to reject the Commission on Presidential Debate’s move to shift the second scheduled debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden to a virtual format in the wake of Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis.
“Look, I think the president’s right on this. And unfortunately, I think this is a pattern we’ve seen play out throughout the debates where the moderators and the debate commission have behaved like arms of the Joe Biden campaign,” Cruz argued.
