Peter Schweizer on reactions to Trump's election security speech: Fox & Friends “didn't touch it”
Eric Eggers: “We're not saying the White House is sensitive about the people that did or did not cover it. But they literally put out a ‘what they are saying’ with anyone who talked about it. It's the longest quote sheet.”

PETER SCHWEIZER (HOST): Well we're going to get to China and fake IDs a little bit later in this program.
But first of all, Trump gave this speech, tried to draw a lot of attention to it. Two of the networks didn't cover the speech. Interesting to note that I believe even Fox News on their morning program, Fox & Friends, the morning after --
ERIC EGGERS (CO-HOST): Didn't touch it.
SCHWEIZER: Didn't touch it. Democrats, of course, attacked it. Some Republicans embraced the speech, but a lot of people tried to ignore it.
Let's just talk a little bit about what actually was revealed that was new. Setting away from the rhetoric, what was actually new in Trump's speech and in what the Department of Homeland Security presented?
EGGERS: By the way, we're not saying the White House is sensitive about the people that did or did not cover it. But they literally put out a “what they are saying" with anyone who talked about it. It's the longest quote sheet, “Here's all the people that did talk about it."
