Trump Fans Attack 'Communist' Fox Network For Cutting To Commercial During His Speech

By David Edwards — February 16, 2020

Viewers complained on Twitter that FOX Sports cut away prior to President Donald Trump’s campaign-style speech at the Daytona 500, where he was named grand marshal.

FOX’s cameras were also criticized for cutting away from Trump’s lap at the Daytona 500 in his presidential limo. Instead, fans were treated to a commercial from Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.

Some viewers praised the network for not giving the president’s 2020 campaign additional publicity.

Watch the clip above and read the tweets below.

Fox sports isn’t showing @realDonaldTrump remarks at #Daytona500 ...but @FoxNews is.

Guess that about sums it up...

Its so weird that Fox has Trump giving a speech in the background and is completely ignoring it. Surprising, but the politics out of sports crowd should be pleased. #DAYTONA500

Interesting note: FOX currently not showing Trump’s speech at the Daytona 500.

Trump began speaking while the network was airing a segment on the legacy of Jimmie Johnson.#NASCAR
