Fox & Friends argues that “gleeful” Democrats hoping for a permanent schism in the GOP are the “real losers” in the MAGA civil war over H-1B visas. Not only did he endorse a social media post bashing “r*tarded” American workers, but the X owner also profanely told his MAGA critics to “f*** yourself in the face,” prompting former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon to label the Tesla CEO a “toddler.” The world’s richest man, who recently endorsed an extremist German political party, urged the “hateful repentant racists” criticizing his H-1B stance to be removed from the GOP. Attempting to navigate the difficult political terrain, Fox & Friends Weekend acknowledged that Trump’s backing of H-1B visas “left a lot of people confused” while rationalizing the president-elect’s support for the program. In an op-ed for Fox News’ digital site, conservative columnist David Marcus insisted that the MAGA civil war over the visas “is exactly how politics is supposed to work” and that the Republican party was already in a better place because of the debate.
