Trump said the EgyptAir Flight 804 crash was a 'Muslim terrorist attack' within hours of the crash

Needless to say there was no terrorist attack, the plane caught on fire due to equipment failure, and Fox News did not say a word about Trump's gaslighting at the time, not a single word.

Now Fox News is whining about the media reporting the exact words of the terrorist who carried out the attack in New Zealand yesterday, claiming it's unfair to Trump.
