Fox News viewers expressed outrage at Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace on Sunday after he repeatedly insisted that Joe Biden is the rightful president-elect.
Wallace made the remarks during an interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, who referred to Biden as a former vice president.“He’s president-elect,” Wallace told Azar multiple times.
On Twitter, some Fox News viewers said that Wallace was part of an “election coup.” Others falsely argued that Wallace was wrong because there has not yet been meeting of the Electoral College, where electors will cast their votes for president.
In fact, “president-elect” is a term that has traditionally been used by the media to refer to the candidate who won the majority of electoral votes in the November election. The phrase does not appear in the U.S. Constitution.
Read some of the responses to Wallace below.
OMG listening to @foxnewsunday Chris Wallace you would think he was Joe Biden's first gentleman. Chris Wallace was carrying so much water for the libtard elect it was embarrassing.

U R correct Chris Wallace @FoxNewsSunday ... I will never ever believe that basement Biden is a legitimate president. There is no possible way he could get more votes than Obama...

Chris Wallace insisted sec Aszar refer to Biden as pres elect. Twice. Never insisted people stop saying just Trump. Instead of President Trump. He has assumed the role of a pontificating arrogant asshole.

Chris Wallace is disgusting. Campaigning for Biden instead of investigative reporting. Fox needs to pull the plug on his personal propaganda agenda

Chris Wallace take a hike, Beijing Biden will never be president. He is the most corrupt candidate in the history of the US. If he was such a sure thing why doesn't he answer questions of alleged fraud? Why wouldn't he want to prove his legitimacy?

hey @FoxNewsSunday, your disrespect of Secretary Azar is absolutely uncalled for. A) @joebiden is NOT the president elect. Nothing has been resolved. B) No one cares what @JohnBrennan has to say after his bashing Trump for 4 years, and you are becoming almost as irrelevant.

Chris Wallace is, for lack of a better term, an assclown. My understanding is that he is NOT President Elect until the determination is made by the Electoral College. I have not seen the provision in the Constitution that says that Fox News does the coronation... just sayin

Chris Wallace corrects HHS Secretary Alex Azar for calling Joe Biden 'vice president' rather than 'president-elect'
This is me correcting Chris Wallace: Joe Biden is STILL NOT the president-elect and WON'T BE until the Electoral College says so.— @MovieManMike Michael Clark Movies From The Right (@moviesfromther1) December 6, 2020
Chris Wallace and Fox Sunday are & continue to be a complete dumpster propaganda fire. He has John Brennan on to talk about how great the Obama Administration was and tries to force Sec Azar to call Biden President-Elect. Turn it off & turn away. Do your own research. 🇺🇸

Chris Wallace, @foxnewssunday, has confirmed he is a pathetic hack, and has destroyed all his credibility today
To give Brennan a complete pass on proven, and well-documented lies, is disgraceful and disgusting
In the meantime, Wallace lies about Trump and his WH. Evil and vile— President-Elect Steven 🇺🇸🌅 (@SirStevenKJ) December 6, 2020
