Fox News’ Bret Baier co-hosted a town hall with President Trump Thursday night and was accused by liberals of lobbing softballs, even though the questions were coming from the audience. Obama bro Tommy Vietor decided it was his turn to step in and do away with the myth that Baier was one of the “straight news” journalists at Fox News.

It's hilarious how many reporters put @BretBaier on their very short list of "real" journalists at Fox News. Bret's role at this town hall is to lob softballs at Trump and then smile and nod at his rambling, incoherent answers. — Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) March 6, 2020

Baier responded to that accusation:

In case you don’t get it, here’s Baier interviewing Vietor about Benghazi:

Dude, you just got owned.

Not sure you should comment at all, Dude! Your interview will live in infamy! — Betsy Madden (@HoosierMom92) March 6, 2020

that was soooo 3 years ago bro! — Tony Bruno (@TonyBrunoShow) March 6, 2020

You obviously didn't even watch any of the town hall ? — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) March 6, 2020

I am sorry that you can't follow the speed of @realDonaldTrump 's mind. For those of us that can, we forgive you. You'll get there, someday….maybe. — Debbie (@MsDianaFrances) March 6, 2020

How’s the van? — Denise  (@neeceetx) March 6, 2020

Goodnight, Tommy, and WASH THE VAN THIS TIME. — Joe (B) [for Bastard] (@Josef_Lemonovic) March 6, 2020

It's a town hall genius. The audience asks questions — Michael Bennett (@mbenn19) March 6, 2020

If you actually watched you would realize they were mostly audience questions. Rambling and incoherent would be Joe Biden. @POTUS was spot on tonight.???? — Jean (@carlson75111) March 6, 2020

Tommy, have you watched any town halls on TV before? — Zach Attack (@ZachhhZachhh) March 6, 2020

Dude, you have zero credibility, but good effort — carole (@dagnon_carole) March 6, 2020

What the hell Planet are you on? These were pointed/topical questions with actual answers UNLIKE Dem town halls — Elyse (@Egirl32118630) March 6, 2020

I had to look you up to see who you were. Still don’t know much. — Tank (@M1A1_Jockey) March 6, 2020

Liberal tears. — ?‍? Jim Dandie ⚠️ (@realjimdandie) March 6, 2020

Poor Tommy — Kyle ??‍♂️ (@KCG1731) March 6, 2020

I'm so sorry this triggered you — Arizoniboy (@arizoniboy) March 6, 2020

We don’t need Donna Brazile to hand the questions ahead of time … — Deplorable Me 1718 ????❤️ (@Qsentme1718) March 6, 2020

Tough questions on the debt, justices, corona virus, Ahghanistan, tough rhetoric…strong, direct questions. Trump was comfortable, quick, energetic – a tutorial for Bloomberg — Black, White & Grey (@NBfromLB) March 6, 2020

Tommy needs to get a new TV, his must be broken if that’s his takeaway. — AndrewHenry (@AndrewHenry815) March 6, 2020

Oh boy! Coming from you, this means a lot. — Seegrean (@See_Grean) March 6, 2020

Remember, that one time, in band camp, where @BretBaier owned you? It happened again…. — Combat Keyboard Advisor™️ (@KeyboardAdvisor) March 6, 2020

Tom, your guy had 8 years to do something, anything and he bowed to dictators, send pallets of cash to terrorists, gave us pajama boy trying to sell a forced insurance and denigrated our military and law enforcement. Sit the hell down and shut up. — RNortonRN ?? (@RNortonRN) March 6, 2020

Cool twitter account bro — M. (@mjcampo) March 6, 2020

This will be ratioed into oblivion… Brett with the perfect response — Misfire Hurricane (@demsdonothing) March 6, 2020

Sick burn, Tommy. Now show me a tough question that Obama (08/12), Hillary (16) or Biden (20) were asked by ABCBSNBC, etc. in a similar venue. Just one tough question! Happy to provide you with a nice cash reward if you can find one, Einstein. — Doug Ross ? (@directorblue) March 6, 2020

The Jerk Store called and Vietor’s witty retort came in:

Maybe they'll give you a WH job if he wins reelection! Though I guess it's cheaper to have your salary paid by the Fox News super PAC. — Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) March 6, 2020

Sick burn, dude.
