'Stick to the point!' Fox host cuts off guest as he brings up Trump's crude AI video
Fox News host Sandra Smith repeatedly talked over a guest after he mentioned a sophomoric AI-generated video President Donald Trump posted to social media on the day of massive protests against his administration.
The Daily Beast reported Monday that former Biden administration official Dan Koh, who is running as a Democrat for a U.S. House district in Massachusetts, was abruptly interrupted the moment he brought up the video, which shows the 47th president of the United States flying a jet with "King Trump" written on it, dumping feces on a crowd of protesters. The video featured the song "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, though the musician later demanded that his song be removed from the video. The video with the song is still live as of this writing.
A separate video Trump posted showed Trump donning a crown, putting on a royal cloak, and holding up a sword, interspersed with footage of Democrats kneeling during 2020 racial justice protests. The song "Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold can be heard playing in the background of the second video.
Smith had asked him a question about a book by former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and Koh brought up both videos in the context of last weekend's "No Kings" protests.
"Look, in terms of the Democratic Party, this weekend was a good analogy," Koh said in response to Smith asking if he was "buying what Karine Jean-Pierre is selling."
"I saw Democrats, Republicans, Independents, who were protesting in the millions against a president who was trying to silence us," he continued. "And the analogy was apt when the president uploaded a video of himself in a king hat—"
"—So what, so Dan, sir, are you gonna answer the question?" Smith interjected.
"Yes, I will, but please give me a moment," Koh responded. "[The video depicts Trump] literally defecating on people exercising their right to free speech."
"OK, so Dan, let’s go back to the question and stick to the point," Smith insisted.
