Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume seemed unfazed by President Donald Trump s latest Twitter tantrum criticizing the network.

Following a straightforward interview Wednesday morning with Democratic National Committee communications director Xochitl Hinojosa, the president tweeted his outrage that Fox News host Sandra Smith offered zero pushback during a conversation that heavily promot[ed] the Democrats .

HOPELESS & CLUELESS! Trump said , before adding , We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isnt working for us anymore!

Hume, who has been with the network since 1996, was quick to respond to the presidents meltdown.

Fox News isnt supposed to work for you, he wrote.

Hume has criticized the president in the past , particularly regarding Trumps dissatisfaction with the networks coverage of the Democrats running to challenge him in 2020. When Trump lashed out at Fox News for hosting South Bend, Indiana, mayor and Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg in May, Hume responded.

Say this for Buttigieg, Hume wrote on Twitter. Hes willing to be questioned by Chris Wallace, something youve barely done since youve been president. Oh, and covering candidates of both parties is part of the job of a news channel.

Its no secret that Fox News has functioned as a propaganda-like arm for Trump since his 2016 presidential campaign. He often airs his praises of and grievances with the network over Twitter the latter of which seems to have increased in recent months.
