Fox News Regular Apologizes To Trump

During an interview, a popular Fox News regular took a moment to apologize to former President Donald Trump for not understanding what made him tick.

Former pro-wrestler George Murdoch — better known as Tyrus, a regular on Fox News hit late night comedy show “Gutfeld!” — sat down for an interview with Trump on his podcast “Maintaining with Tyrus.”

During the podcast, Tyrus explained that he didn’t truly understand Trump until the two appeared together on “Gutfeld!” and he saw how the former president acted behind the scenes.

“I actually owe you an apology before we start,” Tyrus began, as Trump sat across from him. “I’ve been very critical about you, how you fight.”

“All through the campaigns — I voted for you because I like policy,” the Fox News regular added. “I didn’t know you as a man. And I think when you don’t understand what a man fights for, you can get lost — especially with all the noise we’re seeing from fake news, etc., that created these pictures of you.”

Tyrus then explained to the audience what happened on the “Gutfeld!” set after the show wrapped.

“So, ‘Gutfeld!’ show is over. Cameras are off. We go backstage, and I expected you to be like every politician or any celebrity I’ve body-guarded for,” he said. “And you met my family. And you talked to my daughter. My daughter is 10 years old, her name is Georgie. You guys talked for 20 minutes.”

Tyrus then highlighted his feelings watching Trump’s attentiveness behind the scenes.

“If nobody knew, you could have been her grandfather,” he explained, adding: “You were talking about her horses and dreams. And I was sitting there and I was like ‘I have been so wrong about this man’ because I never understood why you fight the way you fight. You’re a family man.”

“I am,” Trump agreed.

“You’re a father,” Tyrus noted.

“And your daughter is a gorgeous — and your wife, the whole thing, you have got some set-up, I’ll tell you,” the former president said, prompting a laugh from Tyrus. “But your family’s great and you’re great, and you’ve really done something. You’ve captured a certain spirit. You know, a friend of mine who’s very smart — he’s also a very big guy — he said because I’m big and strong, people think I’m not the smartest guy.”

Tyrus immediately rolled his eyes, as he completely understood the feeling, stating: “Oh, I know.”

Trump responded by pointing out that Tyrus is “a really smart guy,”

“I see it and I’ve watched it and I like the show, and we have the privilege of having the highest rating in the history of the show when I did it a couple of weeks ago, that was —” Trump said, as Tyrus interjected in agreement.

“Of all time,” Tyrus said. “We beat network television.”

“You beat everybody,” Trump responded.

“And they were up 35 million homes,” Tyrus added. “It was a landslide.”
