Why Fox News’ senior staff is so fired up over Trump: “They are mad as hell”
A Fox News senior staff member was fired over a tweet that said “You better get on the train” and urged others to follow suit, according to a report from Politico.
Fox News senior writer Dan Abrams tweeted out a photo of himself riding a train with a “train full of Trump supporters” and added, “If you have any Trump supporters in your life and are on the fence, please get on this train.
You better get up on it and get on your ass.”
The tweet was retweeted more than 1,000 times.
“I’m a senior staff writer at Fox News and we are mad,” Abrams told Politico.
“It’s just one of those things where we’ve been so fed up that he just has no respect for the fact that he doesn’t respect what we’re doing as reporters.
And we’re really mad that he’s been tweeting at us.”
Abrams was fired the next day.
He later apologized to Fox News staff and said he would take a leave of absence from Fox News for six months to reflect on the tweet and the situation.

Iraqi official: ‘I’m the one who’s in charge of my own security’
The head of Iraq’s security forces said on Wednesday that his authority is the most important one in Iraq.
The head of Iraqi’s security services said on Tuesday that his security force was not the same as the Iraqi National Army (ANA) because he had the authority to command its operations, which are conducted from the Baghdad airport.
Alaa Abdulkarim said that the commander of the Iraqi Security Forces is responsible for all the security operations and the organization of the forces in all parts of the country.
The United States, which has about 8,000 troops in Iraq, is leading a coalition to combat ISIL, the Arabic acronym for the group.
The Iraqi Security forces have not been fully formed since ISIL captured Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city in June.
The group has been in control of Mosul for nearly two years, but the Iraqi army is slowly pushing it back.
