On November 11, Fox anchor Shannon Bream claimed that President-elect Joe Biden’s new chief of staff, Ron Klain, “has tweeted support for the idea that elections are rigged.” She added that “it seems both parties have some work to do to build trust back into our elections,” falsely suggesting a similarity between Klain’s tweet and completely baseless allegations of voter fraud or election fraud prevalent in conservative political media (including Fox News.)
But Klain’s tweet, like the Vox article it was in response to, criticized gerrymandered districts for unfairly benefiting incumbents. As the article explains in the second paragraph, “The problem here isn't fraud. In elections, like in so much else, the scandal is what's legal.” Despite later doing a fuller segment on Klain’s past opinions and jobs, Bream never mentioned this key context.
