Fox News is one of the few outlets that stands by President Trump and praises him. But an incident at a recent rally went too far for many of his supporters. A Fox News host was slammed for their “disgusting” reaction to the situation that left viewers in complete shock. Keep reading to find out what happened.
President Trump Ogles Nicki Minaj’s ‘Beautiful A**’
Nicki Minaj has been an unexpected supporter of President Trump for a few years. She publicly backed him in 2025 after feeling disappointed with California Governor Newsom’s lack of response to a swatting incident at her home.
The “Anaconda” rapper joined President Trump at a rally in Michigan last weekend. He was there to endorse Republican nominee Mike Rogers in the Senate race against Democrat nominee Abdul El-Sayed. The midterm elections on November 3, 2026, could change which party has the majority in both the House and Senate. The Republicans currently hold the power, but many seats are up for grabs.
“By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful a** before — Nicki Minaj. That’s hard to miss,” he told the cheering crowd. “I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki. She’s been with us for a long time.”
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung teased Nicki Minaj possibly joining the Trump administration. “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!” he joked on Twitter. The last Press Secretary was fired after less than a week.
Fox News had a surprising reaction to Trump’s comments about Nicki Minaj’s backside.
Fox News Host Slammed For ‘Disgusting’ Comments About Incident
The Five is among Fox News’ most-watched programs. Television personalities Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Jesse Watters, Emily Compagno, and alternating hosts Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr. discuss the day’s hottest political topics. But viewers were shocked at what Dana Perino had to say about Trump’s comments regarding Nicki Minaj’s butt.
Or rather, what she didn’t say. Dana Perino praised Trump’s impact on the Republicans up for election in November. “If the goal here of all of these rallies is to make sure that people who voted for him will turn out to vote in the midterm. And he has them laughing, and he’s got that rally magic back,” she said about the Michigan rally.
Viewers took to the comments on the network’s Instagram to call out Dana Perino’s “disgusting” comments.

- “I’m a Trump supporter but this crossed a line”
- “Hard to believe what he said would not only be accepted but applauded!!!”
- “The fact that the ladies on this panel didn’t defend women but made it acceptable was crazy work”
- “I thought it was completely disrespectful and tasteless. What a bizarre thing for a married man to say about another woman.”
- “Everybody gets that it was a joke. It was just inappropriate from the president of the United States honestly just rude and ridiculous not funny at all”
- “What a disgusting cover for a disgusting man. Shame on you, Perino. You should have stayed silent.”
Dana Perino completely ignored President Trump’s distasteful comments about Nicki Minaj’s body. “Has he been a net plus for the Republicans? I would say the answer is probably yes,” she said instead. “You can check back next Tuesday night.”
She’s right about one thing – we’ll find out on Tuesday, November 3, if Trump rallying for Republican candidates helped or hurt them in the voting booth. Share your thoughts in the comments.
