Fox News host Bill Hemmer tells Trump ally Matt Schlapp to give proof of voter fraud or 'shut up'

Matt Schlapp, the American Conservative Union head claimed that he had seen evidence of 'thousands and thousands of illegal votes' in Nevada

Fox News host Bill Hemmer is making headlines after he reportedly told a Donald Trump supporter to "show evidence of voter fraud or shut up." 

Matt Schlapp, the American Conservative Union head claimed that he had seen evidence of "thousands and thousands of illegal votes" in Nevada. After visiting the state, he shared, "I have never been to a place where we were able to demonstrate almost immediately thousands and thousands of improper ballots." 

However, the Republican did not provide any evidence of what he had seen nor proof that the votes were fraudulent. Hemmer kept on prodding Schlapp and asking him when the evidence will be brought to light. Schlapp was not able to provide the host with a time or any information with regard to any evidence. 

In another interview with Senator Thom Tillis, Hemmer expressed his outrage about his exchange with Schlapp. Hemmer said, "Matt Schlapp just came back from Clark County. He's arguing that there are thousands and thousands of illegal votes cast. Well, that may or may not be the case, but so far we haven't seen any evidence of that."

"At what moment do you say put up or shut up?" he added. Many social media users commented on the exchange and praised Hemmer. One such user shared, "I am proud of Chris Wallace, Bill Hemmer and Neil Cavuto for being journalists right now."

"What. An. Idiot. Wow, how can Schlapp just sit there and make stuff up, its pathetic," commented another. Yet another shared, "Bill Hemmer needed to cut him off."

Hemmer's comments had followed Sandra Smith reacting with astonishment when a guest refused to acknowledge that Donald Trump had lost the election to Joe Biden. A Washington-based lawyer Cleta Mitchell said that "just because" the media "says that somebody's president doesn't make them president."

Mitchell shared, "I think everybody wants to know that this was done properly and legally and we can trust the results. And I think we have to look into every one of these concerns." 

We had earlier reported that White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany appeared on Fox News again on Tuesday night, November 10, and brought with her a document containing over 200-pages insisting they were proof of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. 

McEnany said, "We keep hearing the drumbeat of where is the evidence but right here 234 pages of sworn affidavits, from real people, real allegations, signed with notaries. In one county, Wayne County, Michigan, in one batch of ballots, 60 percent had the same signatures, 35 had no voter record but were counted anyway, 50 ballots were run multiple times through a machine."

"One woman said her son was deceased but still voted. This is one county where our poll watchers were threatened with racial harassment, pushed out of the way, and Democratic challengers were handing out documents saying how to distract GOP challengers. The president wants justice for the 72 million-plus forgotten men and women of this country," she continued. 

On Monday night, November 9, McEnany spoke to media during what she called a campaign event at the Republican National Committee headquarters. There she said Republicans want "every legal vote to be counted, and every illegal vote to be discarded" which led to Fox News cutting away from the briefing.

Host Neil Cavuto said from the studio, "Whoa, whoa, whoa – I just think we have to be very clear. She’s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue to show you this.
