An amazing moment in cable TV news history happened as Trump lawyer and walking human disaster Rudy Giuliani was being broadcast by Fox News giving a rant in Philadelphia about ballot counting. As he was claiming that no one knows if the ballots are signed or postmarked (both top things that ballot counters check for), Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto cut him off to announced that the network was calling the state of Michigan for Joe Biden.
“We have no idea if they’re signed, if they’re postmarked properly, if it isn’t just the same person who submitted 100,000 ballots, and they all got counted,” the lawyer said. “This is the way they intend to win.”
At this point in the clip, as Giuliani is bringing up something said by “former congressman Sweeny,” Cavuto cuts in to say that viewers “might have noticed something happened to the electoral vote count.”
He goes on to explain that the Fox News decision desk has given Michigan to Biden, and combined with Arizona, this puts him just six electoral votes away from the presidency. If Biden wins Nevada, where he is currently leading, the race will be over.
The Trump campaign has already called for a recount in Wisconsin, which has been called for Biden by multiple news networks, though with a vote lead of over 60,000 to the former vice president, a recount is unlikely to change anything.
As things get increasingly grim for the Republicans, freakouts and rants from the Trump camp are even more common than usual. However, people are finding the fact that even Fox News must be tired of hearing from Giuliani particularly delicious.
