had some tense moments on live TV with Fox News host Bret Baier as she called on his network to denounce former President Donald Trump’s big lie about the 2020 election. But as Baier argued that Cheney wasn’t representing her constituents, who voted for Trump by a wide margin, Cheney stood her ground. “We all have an obligation, and I would say Fox News especially ― especially Fox News ― has a particular obligation to make sure people know the election wasn’t stolen,” she said. “No, but if you’re mentioning Fox News, you have to know that this show has said that numerous times,” he said. We need to make sure that the American people recognize and understand that the election wasn’t stolen, that we shouldn’t perpetuate the big lie.”Despite Baier’s protests, both Fox News and Fox Business gave extensive play to wild conspiracy theories about the election.
