Following the disastrous (to say the last) press conference President Donald Trump gave Tuesday on ポルノ映画の看板の下で コピーCharlottesville and white supremacy, his political allies were few and far between. So few, in fact, even Fox News apparently could not track any down.
SEE ALSO: Even a Fox News host can't tell if this is real life after Trump's baffling press conferenceShep Smith, Fox News' chief breaking news anchor and something of the network's conscience, said on Wednesday afternoon that his booking team had reached out to "Republicans of all stripes," but could not get one person to come on the network and defend the president's comments.
Not. One. Person.
"Let's be honest, Republicans often don't really mind coming on Fox News Channel," Smith said candidly. "We couldn't get anyone to come and defend him here."

Smith has come under fire with Trump supporters previously for calling out Trump's bogus Obama wiretapping claim, and for his (understandable) reaction to Donald Trump Jr.'s recent Russia scandal.
While Fox News' regular blind support of Trump will surely return soon, we're grateful for the respite.
