Fox News snubs Kari Lake's RNC speech as she incites crowd to boo 'fake news'
Fox News declined to broadcast Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake's (R) speech at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday.
Instead, host Laura Ingraham showed a video feed of the convention crowd while interviewing a guest. The Fox News host never acknowledged that Lake was speaking.
"Hello America, welcome everybody who's watching at home, and welcome everybody in this great arena tonight," Lake's speech began. "Actually, actually, wait a minute. I don't mean that."
"The guys up in the fake news, frankly, all right, frankly, you guys up there in the fake news have worn out your welcome, right?" she continued, prompting boos from the crowd.
Lake asserted that the news media "lie about everything."

"You have spent the last eight years lying about President Donald Trump and his amazing patriotic supporters," she complained.
Other networks — including CNN, MSNBC, and Newsmax — aired Lake's speech in full.
