Fox Business parts ways with Trish Regan, host who dismissed coronavirus as 'impeachment scam'

Guess there is a bridge too far even for Fox News...

She made that rant in such close proximity to the Soviet-grade shift in Correct Policy that she's become the go-to clip for anti-FOX and anti-Trump ads.

In proper Soviet style, this means she gets airbrushed out of the picture.

On a positive note, she can finally time travel back to that old episode of Dynasty she looked like she come from.
