Fox News contributor Jonah Goldberg is characterizing members of Congress as a “parliament of pundits” who just want to “secure their position on ‘Morning Joe’ or ‘Fox & Friends.'”
Goldberg offered the remark in an interview with The New York Times for a feature on outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that was published Tuesday.
The story by the Times’s national correspondent, Mark Leibovich, said that a number of Republican lawmakers seek to get on Fox News in the hope of defending the president — and having Trump see it.
“The president saw me on ‘Fox & Friends,’ ” Ryan told Leibovich. “He said he thought I looked good.”
“That happens to me a lot,” Ryan shared.
Trump was also a regular on “Fox & Friends” for years before jumping into the political arena in 2015.
The weekly interview, which launched in 2011, was called “Monday Mornings with Trump”
