Fox News host mercilessly mocked after viewers hear suspicious noise during election coverage

Viewers watching Fox News’ election coverage Tuesday night heard an unusual noise as votes were being counted.

About an hour into the marathon broadcast, viewers heard what sounded like the sound of an expert’s flatulence — the literal kind.

Despite the serious nature of the subject, several viewers posted the short, sharp audio on social media.

‘Brit Hume just pooped his pants! He tried the ‘lean forward and right’ method to spread the cheeks, but the technique failed,” one user wrote.

“Did Brit Hume just poop his pants on live TV?” asked another.

Incredibly, the footage was viewed nearly 5 million times, with users making their own jokes.

‘I heard that. Hats off to the crew for not panicking,” one user wrote.

“Omg I thought I was just hearing things hahaha, glad I’m not the only one!”, added another.

“Bro, I was thinking the same damn thing hahahahaha!!!! I was like omfg he just ripped a huge one. If you play the video more than once, the girl in pink will make a stink face…,” a third joked.

‘British smoke!’ said a fourth with the ultimate pun.

It wasn’t the only problem the broadcaster faced on election night.

Another moment came when a microphone was left open and a producer appeared to express sentiments live on air about Elon Musk gaining political power.

The exciting mic moment and serendipitous commentary came as host Bret Baier provided late-night analysis just after 2 a.m. Eastern Time.

Fox News had said that former President Donald Trump was on his way to becoming the winner and started talking about what this meant for the American power structure.

“You know, the question is what does the Republican Party look like now,” Baier said. “In your eyes it is a multiracial party, it is working class, and perhaps it is the future. I mean, it’s Elon Musk. It’s Joe Rogan and podcasts.”

A voice can be heard muttering “oh Lord” when Baier mentions Musk’s name.

Musk went all in for the new president, attending his meeting in Butler, Pennsylvania in October wearing a MAGA hat.

He told the crowd that 2024 would be “the last election” if Trump did not win, posting the former president’s campaign on his social media platform X.

Trump has already said he plans to make Tesla billionaire Musk head of a new committee in charge of auditing the federal government.

He has not yet detailed how the body would function. The government already has watchdogs like the Office of Management and Budget, and investigators general at federal agencies.

But Trump has said the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire would head the committee.

Trump said he would try to decimate what he calls the “deep state” — federal employees he says are clandestinely pursuing their own agendas — through an executive order that would reclassify thousands of workers so they could be fired. That would probably be challenged in court.

He would crack down on federal whistleblowers, who are generally protected by law, and set up an independent body to “monitor” U.S. intelligence agencies.

Musk has been one of the biggest donors to Republican Party causes this election campaign and joined the former president’s watch party at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on Tuesday evening.

Now Musk will benefit financially. His wealth will increase enormously by about $15 billion as Tesla shares skyrocketed during Trump’s election victory.

Trump called Musk, who supported him during his presidential campaign, a “genius” in a victory speech.

“We have a new star, a star is born: Elon,” Trump said, marveling at Musk’s SpaceX rocket and the deployment of the Starlink satellite internet service during Hurricane Helene.

“He’s a great guy,” Trump said. “He’s a character, he’s a special guy, he’s a super genius.”
