President Donald Trump demanded on Saturday that Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) not be allowed back on the Fox News, but on Sunday, not only was Khanna invited back on the right-wing network, but the California Democrat expressed hope that the president may be watching and extend him an invitation to the White House.
Trump’s demand to Fox News was made on his social media network Truth Social, in which he shared an image appearing to be created with generative artificial intelligence depicting Khanna with fangs and horns. Trump also labeled Khanna as a “sleazebag” and a “Dumocrat.”
Yet, despite Trump’s demand, Khanna was featured the very next day on Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show,” during which the California Democrat expressed thanks to the network for defying the president.
“First of all, thank you for having me on despite President Trump posting on Truth Social that I shouldn’t be allowed back on Fox!” Khanna said. “He didn’t like last time I came on and talked about Chinese steel in Ohio and talked about a vision for bringing steel and shipbuilding back.”
Fox News host and retired U.S. Marine Johnny Joey Jones gave Khanna praise for his “amicable personality,” and suggested that it could be a powerful tool for bi-partisanship.
“If you bring this amicable personality to the White House, I think you might find someone in President Trump that would sit down and talk with you,” Jones said. “Maybe that’ll happen soon.”
Khanna replied, “Maybe after, maybe he’s watching your show and I’ll get an invitation, I hope he invites me!”
