Chris Wallace Responds to Joe Scarborough’s ‘Never Liked’ Mitt Romney Charge

By Chris Ariens 

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace went on Fox & Friends Sunday to talk about Saturday night’s GOP debate, but the hosts also asked Wallace to respond to a charge leveled by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Thursday morning:

Chris Wallace has never made a secret of the fact that he loathes Mitt Romney… has never liked him. Anybody that knows Chris Wallace at FOX has said the same thing. Chris Wallace, of course, will deny it and throw an insult around because that’s what he’s done in the past.

Scarborough’s comments came after it was revealed Romney would be making his first Sunday talk show appearance in more than 21 months when he goes on Fox News Sunday this weekend. Here’s how Wallace responded to Scarborough, without mentioning him or his network by name:

People say, and I will take this advice, don’t punch down. Don’t respond to folks that are silly and aren’t worthy of a response. It isn’t true. I suspect he knows it isn’t true. I think he’s trying to get to FOX with a network that gets higher ratings than he does. I’ll leave it at that.
