Fox News Host Calls Out Trump's Lies Right To His Commerce Secretary's Face
HuffPost
Host John Roberts checked Howard Lutnick on the president's "mathematically impossible" claim.
Fox News’ John Roberts on Thursday hit Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick with a brutal lesson in “reality” versus “perception” after Donald Trump repeated his lie about cutting prescription drug prices during his primetime address.
In a falsehood-filled, shouty speech from the White House, the president pulled a familiar lie from out of his hat, declaring that drug costs are “400, 500 and even 600%” lower.
Trump has paraded the implausible claim around in recent months, baffling critics. Back in July, he vowed to force pharmaceutical companies to drop drug prices by up to 1,500% and “numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.”
Roberts pointed out the obvious about Trump’s “mathematically impossible” claim during Lutnick’s appearance on Fox News’ “America Reports.”
“Well, if you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to zero. If you cut it by four, five, or 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you to take their products,” explained the host as Lutnick cracked a smile and chuckled.
