On Thursday afternoon, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith incurred the wrath of angry Trump fans by accusing President Donald Trump of “sexist cyber bullying” toward MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski.

“First on the Fox News deck this Thursday afternoon,” Smith said, “the president of the United States, Donald Trump, this morning, engaged in what critics are calling sexist cyber bullying in tweets at the MSNBC anchors and ‘Morning Joe’ co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.”

Smith went on to quote critics who called the tweets “beneath the office of the presidency.”

Within minutes, Twitter trolls were flooding Fox News’ and Smith’s timelines:

Lots of those tweets at the link above, and Shep read some of them.

1. Sadly, Shepard Smith is running a fool's errand.

I think he and Chris Wallace do their best in attempting to be respectable journalists with some sense of decency and standards, but the rest of the network and all of its viewers aren't having it.

Their talents would be better served with a real news organization.

5. They are "the balance"

for the "fake and (un)balanced" network.

17. They will say what the audience want to hear.

Faux's audience simply will not tolerate anything else. If Faux ever did start reporting honestly, their viewers would shut them right off and they'd be out of business. Since their job is to gather an audience for the advertisers, in the end, they will say what the audience want to hear.

2. Without reading the backlash..

I can only imagine their first instinct was to delve into bigotry.

6. Yep. The bigots are out in force.

3. I wont read the deplorables responses, suffice to say each and every one of them

feels the same way trump does about women.

This is a very sick country, no cure.

18. Nothing is this clickbait "Raw Story" headline is true

Shep Smith didn't "enrage Fox viewers" and he did not have a "devastating look" at the reaction to Trump's tweet.

He had a pretty perfunctory report about it and got some snarky twitter comments.

19. MSNBC should hire Shep.

Shep is a journalist. He would fit right in.

In many other instances, he has called BS on the Mango Mussolini.
