The CNN host came up with a supercut of Fox News personalities bashing Democrats for dropping F-bombs, while never saying anything negative about Trump's "salty language".

Fox News' hypocrisy in vivid display when Trump dropped his live F-bomb the other day about Iran and Israel. Not a peep of condemnation from any of those legends at Fox News (probably because Trump is the president, he can do or say whatever the F he wants, right?).

CNN anchor Abby Phillip trolled Fox News over their reaction to President Donald Trump’s live F-bomb by dropping a cut of past “pearl-clutching” reactions to profanity by Democratic figures.

A furious Trump lashed out Tuesday morning at Iran and Israel for strikes that occurred after he announced the fragile ceasefire, exclaiming to reporters, “They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing!”

On Tuesday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip roasted Fox News for complaining when Democrats curse, but quipped that when Trump does it, “Zero Fox given”:

PHILLIP: After the President dropped a four-letter word on the White House lawn, it appears not all F-bombs are created equal. At least on Fox, here is how one host reacted to Trump, and then 20 minutes later, reacting to a Democrat using the same word.

Phillip then played some hand-wringing clips of heroic hypocrisy from various Fox News stalwarts before her perfect quip at the end.
