Even pundits on the Fox Business network were calling out President-elect Donald Trump on Monday after he launched a Twitter tirade against actress Meryl Streep.

On Sunday, Streep delivered a moving speech at the Golden Globes that highlighted Trump’s mocking of a disabled reporter.

“It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can’t get it out of my head,” Streep told the audience. “And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing.”

Trump responded on Monday with a series of tweets calling Streep “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood.”

Trump’s defense, however, was a bridge too far for Fox Business host Stuart Varney and his Monday morning panel of guests.

“How does name calling make American great again?” business journalist Elizabeth MacDonald asked. “Doesn’t that undercut Mr. Trump’s agenda by responding in ways like this?”

“I mean, he demeans himself,” she added. “You cannot expect people to climb on board with agenda when your judgement is so poor in making attacks like that.”

“I got it and I think you’re right,” Varney agreed.

2. Fox is a little late to the party, as usual.

Nitwits.

3. Well at some point they will all turn on him....it's just a matter of *when*...

then they're going to completely change their tune and start saying all the same things we are, and think they are geniuses for finally noticing this about him and having the strength for calling him out for it. I honestly don't think it will be that far from now and I think they are holding back until he actually takes office.

7. Only because it makes them look bad - not because they actually disagree with him.

Just like they turned on Bush...but only after his approval ratings tanked to the teens. Although it took around 6 years for Bush to sink that low.

I think Trump will get there in less than a year.

13. This is the perfect wedge issue to use against Trump supporters

Of all the important work that needs to be done to "Make America Great Again!" Trump spends his precious time watching the Golden Globes (on NBC!) and responding to the speech of an award winner.
