Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield angrily 'cuts off' army veteran for criticizing Trump

'Cut him off now! You're not going to blame this on President Trump on my show! That's not happening!' yelled Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield

"Cut him off!" Irked by a US Army veteran's criticism of Donald Trump over the Afghanistan issue, a Newsmax anchor 'angrily' cut him off during a discussion. Army veteran Joe Saboe was in a conversation with Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield on Wednesday, September 15 when the incident happened.

During a discussion about the war in Afghanistan, Joe Saboe explained that "multiple" presidents made mistakes throughout the duration of the conflict. In response to Saboe's statement, Stinchfield proceeded to defend Trump and said, "I can tell you this didn't happen under President Trump." He added, "And I know there's a lot of people on the left that want to try to blame President Trump. He wanted out of Afghanistan real bad. He was real frustrated not being able to get out. But he didn't pull out because he knew this would happen." Saboe then interrupted him and said, "With due respect, veterans -- I'm being one, right -- our friends are over there. We followed this closely for multiple administrations and we know the Trump administration's efforts here fairly weak, that they were trying to limit the number of people that would get out so there were coordination problems for a long time."

It was then that Stinchfield 'lost his cool' and angrily yelled, "Cut him off! Cut him off now! Cut him off now! You're not going to blame this on President Trump on my show! That's not happening!" He then continued, "God bless you for being a veteran. God bless you for trying to get Americans out. But don't come on this program and take the talking points of the left and blame President Trump! That's not helping anybody! The Biden administration screwed this up from the very start! You know it! I know it! The country knows it!" Stinchfield added, "I'm mad about that, man. I really am."

'He should be fired'

Twitter flooded with reactions over the 'bizarre' episode with people slamming the Newsmax host for disrespecting an Army veteran. One person tweeted, "A newsmax propagandist host angrily cut off a US veteran who is helping Americans get out of Afghanistan all because he criticized MAGA’s orange rapist Agolf Twitler for the disaster he created with the Taliban. That’s called being triggered AF." Another wrote, "I don’t know how you watch this Newsmax video and don’t conclude that toxic masculinity is the reason for every problem in this country." One tweet read, "Lol, somebody get me this veterans information so i can send a thank you message for speaking his mind…(cause it’s true) #Newsmax"

One user wrote, "Who the heck is this loud mouthed , bully, horrendously theoretical news anchor that just berated on of our brave veterans trying to help our troops and allies? Newsmax should be embarrassed of this representation" Another said, "Watch Newsmax host use a performative fit to increase his visibility with his poorly-rated infotainment channel's core audience. And watch Twitter take the bait after he does." One user tweeted, ""Don't come on this show and blame President Trump, it doesn't help anyone. It the Biden's Administration that screwed this up" says the hypocritical host of Newsmax. Do they ever listen to themselves double talk! He should be fired!"
