Philadelphia’s Fox affiliate has suspended a news anchor after he said that President Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway is “good at bullshit.”
The morning news anchor at Fox 29 is Mike Jerrick. Jerrick was responding to Conway’s statement Sunday that White House press secretary Sean Spicer was citing “alternative facts” when talking about inauguration crowd size.
Jerrick, who’s been on air in Philadelphia since 1999, was suspended for one week.
“Alternative facts: is that going to be a new one in fake news?” Jerrick said live on air. “She’s good at bullshit.”
He immediately apologized on air.
“This is not in line with Fox television station guidelines and the matter has been addressed,” the station wrote in a statement announcing the suspension.
