Regan said the virus was a "scam" created by President Donald Trump's enemies to wreck the economy.
Conspiracy theorist Trish Regan has left her position as a Fox Business Network host following an off-the-rails monologue in which she falsely claimed Democrats were drumming up fears about the coronavirus to make President Donald Trump look bad.
“This is yet another attempt to impeach the president,” Regan said on her program, “Trish Regan Primetime,” earlier this month. A graphic that appeared on-screen said “Coronavirus impeachment scam.” We’ve reached a tipping point. The chorus of hate being leveled at #PresidentTrump is nearing a crescendo as #Dems blame him—and only him—for #coronavirus - a #virus that originated halfway around the world! This is yet another attempt to #impeach THE PRESIDENT. #TrishRegan pic.twitter.com/nU3P4zcONAShe was echoing the words of Trump himself, who has claimed that coverage of the virus had become a Democratic or media “hoax” made up to hurt his chances of reelection.
Outrage from Regan’s comments caused the network to put her show on hiatus two weeks ago. Regan claimed in a tweet that the hiatus was due to coronavirus concerns ― the very thing she hoped to downplay as a serious threat on her show ― but the picture became clearer Friday when the show’s cancellation was announced.
Story continues“We thank her for her contributions to the network over the years and wish her continued success in her future endeavors,” the network said in a statement. “We will continue our reduced live primetime schedule for the foreseeable future in an effort to allocate staff resources to continuous breaking news coverage on the Coronavirus crisis.” “I have enjoyed my time at Fox and now intend to focus on my family during these troubled times,” Regan said.
