Former Fox TV Stations President Joe Peyronnin appears to have had enough of Donald Trump Jr.
“Donald Junior is a pathetic, low IQ oaf, who spews ridiculous lies to please daddy,” Peyronnin posted on X, formerly Twitter, along with a video of former President Donald Trump’s son arguing that President Joe Biden’s administration treats Catholics as “domestic terrorists.”
Peyronnin was president of Fox TV Stations for a brief period in the mid-90s.
Peyronnin responded to Trump Jr.’s thoughts about what Biden is supposedly doing to Catholics: “Biden’s DOJ treated Catholics like terrorists. If you were a practicing Catholic, you were a domestic terrorist. If you bought a Bible, you were marked by your banks and that information was given to said FBI and DOJ. They think church-going patriots are terrorists.”
Trump himself has accused Biden of similar tactics.
“Under Crooked Joe Biden, Christians and Americans of faith are being persecuted like nothing this nation has ever seen before. Catholics in particular are being targeted and evangelicals are surely on the watchlist as well,” Trump said in a video he posted online late last year.
There is no evidence to support either of the claims and it’s largely been seen as a way for Trump to further galvanize support among Christians across the country.
Biden is the second Catholic president in U.S. history.
