The conservative pundit has received a lot of right-wing backlash, with some calling him a "sellout" and traitor," after Fox News posted his Unfiltered With Dan Bongino interview with the former president to YouTube with Trump's claims of a "fake election" and "voter fraud" edited out. The edit was quickly picked up on by Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington, who wrote Sunday afternoon on Twitter that “Fox News EDITED and CHANGED what President Trump said, censoring out 45 accurately describing the Fake Election." Bongino told listeners of his radio show Monday that he felt “betrayed by a lot of people.” Bongino said he was told that Fox edited the clip “to comply with YouTube rules.” Under YouTube’s content policy regarding “U.S. presidential election integrity,” the platform warns users not to publish “content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of any past U.S. presidential election” — a policy Trump’s comments would have violated.
