Fox News anchor rips apart Trump conspiracy theories hours after he gives on-air interview

Fox News host Eric Shawn tore apart Donald Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud live on air only hours after the president made a controversial appearance on the network hours earlier.

On Sunday afternoon Mr Shawn lambasted Mr Trump’s lack of existing evidence to support claims that the election was fraudulent and cost him the victory against Mr Biden.

The comments came as part of an interview with Axios political reporter Hans Nichols, during which they discussed the claims the president made during his first interview since Mr Biden was declared winner of the election.

Mr Shawn began by opening the segment with a damning reference to Mr Trump’s critics saying they believe Mr Trump’s "claims are unsupported, reckless and incendiary."
