Trump insults Fox News hosts live on air after they criticized his debate performance
Donald Trump early Wednesday insulted Fox News hosts floated to be the moderators of another debate between the former president and Vice President Kamala Harris, while live on the air.
Trump spoke to Fox & Friends early in the morning, where the hosts brought up a potential debate hosted by the network.
"I wouldn't want to have Martha and Brad," Trump told the Fox News panel, referring to Fox News' Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier.

"I'd love to have somebody else other than Martha and Brad," Trump said to the Fox team, further suggesting Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham would suffice. "I don't think Martha and Brad were good last night."
Trump added that he preferred Watters' response to the debate, because Watters suggested Trump won.
CNN media analyst Brian Stelter reported the development, saying, "Live on Fox, Trump insults the two Fox anchors who have been pitched as debate moderators – Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum – and says 'I wouldn't want to have' them."
"He says he would want Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham to host instead," Stelter added, calling the request "an obvious non-starter."
