Fox News evening host Martha MacCallum accused MSNBC and CNN personalities of being "giddy" about the recent fear of a potential recession during her show Thursday night.

The segment began with MacCallum discussing the other networks' coverage of the stock market's 800-point plunge on Wednesday.

“Fears of recession seem to be running high, and some in the media seem to be almost giddy that an economic downturn would hinder President Trump’s chances in 2020,” she stated, and then offered "a sampling."

The network proceeded to air two clips from each network in which pundits and reporters discussed how a recession would hurt the president's chances to be reelected.

Following the clips, MacCallum added, "I was listening to a lot of different news networks this morning as I often do, just getting a read on what everyone is saying about what’s going on. I couldn’t help but feel there was a bit of, sort of enthusiasm for the possibility that maybe the economy might tank. I think that’s a generally unpatriotic, I think, and sort of inhumane to hope that people will suffer a bad economy so you can get rid of a president that you don’t like."

One member of the media who has actively hoped for a recession in order to prevent a Trump win in 2020 is Bill Maher, who reiterated the statement on his show last week saying, "We have survived many recessions. We can't survive another Donald Trump term."
