Quaid, a staunch Trump supporter, shared a video on Nov. 12 of him staring closely into his camera as he recites the tweet. Red and green lights can be seen flashing in the background.
"TIME TO MAKE OAN & NEWSMAX RICH. FOX IS DEAD TO ME!" Quaid wrote.

Trump first shared the tweet the same day in which he lamented that Fox "forgot the Golden Goose" that made them successful.
".@FoxNews daytime ratings have completely collapsed. Weekend daytime even WORSE. Very sad to watch this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them there. They forgot the Golden Goose. The biggest difference between the 2016 Election, and 2020, was @FoxNews," Trump tweeted at the time.

The president became increasingly agitated with Fox News in the final months of his campaign, complaining that its polling was skewed against him and repeatedly bemoaning that its coverage was the biggest difference between 2016 and 2020.
His anger at the network boiled over after it was the first to project on election night that President-elect Joe Biden would win Arizona, though other news outlets later followed suit.
The president is reportedly looking to start his own media venture to directly compete with the network after he leaves the White House.
Trump also responded to multiple tweets from Quaid on Tuesday, which took aim at the election, Republicans and "Big Pharma."
"We've lost confidence in the system that elects our leaders. 79 million Americans believe election was rigged, the results fraudulent," Quaid tweeted on Friday. "We need an in-person-only-paper ballot re-vote, especially in the States where flagrant irregularities have occurred. No accuracy, no democracy!"
"Are you listening Republicans?" Trump responded.

Trump also thanked Quaid for "working hard to clean up the stench of the 2020 Election Hoax!"

Trump's responses come after the General Services Administration authorized the transition of power to the incoming Biden administration. The president said on Twitter that he asked his administration to begin the transition, though he still did not concede his election loss and said he would keep fighting.
Since Biden was projected to win the presidential election on Nov. 7, Trump has tried unsuccessfully to challenge the results in court while claiming without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud in the election.
The lawsuits have fizzled, and a growing number of Republicans have recognized Biden as the president-elect. A federal judge in Pennsylvania tossed out a Trump campaign lawsuit over the weekend, writing in a scathing opinion that the accusations were "unsupported by evidence."
Since then, both Michigan and Pennsylvania, two of the states that Biden won and where the Trump campaign mounted legal challenges, certified their election results.
Too funny....! Now Fox isn't sufficiently far enough right for these loons.
Time to start listening to NewsMax, and OAN kids so we can keep up with the latest conspiracies that Trump supporters are going to try to take mainstream!
the finger pointing will further alienate any of the sane left in the failed 4th reich.
We talked the other night to our good friends down under in Australia. They watch the American political scene as 1.) It is important to the rest of the world. 2.) Because you couldn't write a script that would be believable except that it is happening right on the world stage.
They said that American politics was always fun to watch, but with Trump it has been like a bad soap opera that you know is bad, but continually tune in tomorrow to see what happens next. The world knows Trump is a joke. They just don't understand why so many Americans can't figure it out.
Fox News was there long before trmp came on the scene and they carried his water for him. Now, here I am defending Fox News...and that pisses me off!
Randy Quaid is a washed up has-been and probably insane. Nobody listens to him
Randy Quaid left this planet a long time ago.
Who?
Alien abduction again...?
Possibly...with those red and green lights flashing in the background?
Randy Quaid 2024 ... Make America Quazy Again.
Perhaps we now know who "Q" is from Qanon...
Yeah, I'm sure going to listen to him...
Was that his Duck Dynasty audition?
Nope, it's one of his photos from jail. He has been arrested a number of times. He's a con man much like his hero, Trump.
It's too bad because he used to be a good actor.
Good is a bit strong, he did pretty well in one movie...
I liked him in several movies. He played a mean man in "Brokeback Mountain" pretty well. I also liked in the Vacation movies and "Independence Day"
Isn't this the loon that tried to hide out in Canada and didn't pay his taxes...
one and the same, Ender. Ironic isn't it his hero may have a problem with taxes as well.
Canada got stuck with Quaid and we got stuck with Beiber.
I'm not sure if that's a fair trade or not?
I'm pretty sure we gave him back already
Didn't he try to steal someone's house, too? He and his girlfriend or whoever refused to pay rent and refused to leave the property, or some kind of similar incident.
NewsMax and OANN are the best choices. CBN.1 a good choice as well. Still watch Fox for the prime time opinion shows (Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham, Waters, Jeanine, Gutfeld, Levin, Hilton)7 days a week, but for regular news, no way!
What makes you think any Trump supporters know what regular news is ?

For years you've sung the praises of Fox, now because they aren't moving to the loony right as fast as you are, they aren't worth watching.
Simply amazing C4P.....
BTW.... you still thinking the election was "stolen" from the your savior Trump?
I do believe the alt right wing of the RNC sends down a talking points memo every morning to all their mouthpieces. The loony alt right talk show host here locally has turned away from Fox, too.

I see they are blaming Fox for part of the reason Trump lost too...... Spend some time at Breitbart...... If your stomach is up for it.
I'm afraid I would get a virus
I was monitoring Breitbart the other day and the discussion (please apply loosely) turned to "black people can't be trusted to count votes" so that is why all the heavy minority cities should have their ballots thrown out.....
OMG....and they aren't racist..... HEAVY SARCASM HERE!!!!!!
I just took a look and talk was about Soros controlling the world and the press....
Why they continue to have a hardon for that one man, I don't get.
Listening to them he rules the world.
And that's what we are in conversation here with boys n girls....!
It is incredible the number of conspiracies' they have settled into that Trump massages.
Holy shit, you spend that much time watching partisan political talk shows? No wonder you are so fucked up.
That dude is still alive? I just kinda assumed he killed himself after Independence Day (the high point of his entire life).
