Fox’s Brit Hume: It’s a ‘Conspiracy Theory’ to Think Billionaires Are ‘Running the Country’
Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume accused Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Monday of peddling a “conspiracy theory” that billionaires are “running the country” and have an “exorbitant amount of power.”
On the day before the pivotal New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary, Hume appeared on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom to break down the race and to also expand on previous comments he made over the weekend about Sanders.
“You said yesterday on our election special that you think the Bernie Sanders campaign is eventually sort of running on a conspiracy theory,” anchor Ed Henry asked his colleague. “The idea that there’s a conspiracy theory behind it, and you’re not sure it’s good politics.”
