Republican senators have criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida for his comments that defending Ukraine from Russia is not a vital American national strategic interest. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that to say the conflict does not matter is to say that war crimes do not matter, while Sen.

Fox News has come under fire after damning messages were revealed in a court filing, showing that prominent stars and executives at the network privately ridiculed claims of election fraud in the 2020 election, despite allowing lies about the presidential contest to be promoted on its air.

Critics argue that the network should have taken more responsibility for the lies it allowed to be broadcast, while supporters argue that the network should not be held responsible for the opinions of its guests.
