Fox & Friends hosts freak out over a NY Times op-ed saying Trump is unfit for office

From the January 6 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends Sunday:

ED HENRY (CO-HOST): This is out there in the open. This is not in the shadows. Headline, New York Times, by David Leonhardt. He, by the way, used to be the bureau chief on the news side, now has an op-ed column, this column -- 

PETE HEGSETH (CO-HOST): Always a liberal. 

HENRY: “The People versus Donald J. Trump. He is demonstrably unfit,” he writes, “for office. What are we waiting for? The United States has never had a president as demonstrably unfit for the office as Trump and it is becoming clear that 2019 is likely to be dominated by a single question: What are we going to do about it?” So it's essentially a call to arms --

JEDEDIAH BILA (CO-HOST): Sure is.

HENRY: -- by a columnist at the New York Times: Drive him from office. 

...

HEGSETH: What they've done is exposed themselves as the fraud they are. The reason the fake news media is true, the reason they're the opposition party is true, he's exposed all these leftists, these deep state folks who are Washington bureau chiefs, because they're newsmen. We've got great newsmen here at Fox News Channel. “Oh, I'm just independent and unbiased, look at my analysis.”

BILA: It really enhanced your analysis to do that.

HEGSETH: B.S., OK? You've always been a lefty, you hid it under a news column for years, now you're open with your opinion. You want to get rid of Trump, so do your fellow journalists at the so-called New York Times. There are good journalists, but the ones that have been frauds have been exposed by this president because he sees it and he can talk about it and the American people, we may have 10 teeth or 12 or 14 or eight, I don't care. We're not dumb. And we know when someone is selling us a bill of goods, and that's what's happening.
