Some telling moments on Fox News Channel over the past few days in the wake of Charlottesville and President Trump’s handling of the situation.

Former WFSB reporter Melissa Francis became emotional on-air when she tried to defend some of Trump’s remarks and felt other panelists were judging her personal beliefs.

Also on Fox, Shepard Smith, an anchor who has from time to time played counter to the popular image of a conservative Fox News host, admitted on-air that even Fox was unable to get Republicans to come on the air to defend Trump.

Our booking team — and they’re good — reached out to Republicans of all stripes, across the country today,” said Smith. “Let’s be honest, Republicans often don’t really mind coming on Fox News Channel. We couldn’t get anyone to come and defend him here. We worked very hard at it throughout the day, and we were unsuccessful.
