Fox News pundit Leslie Marshall has faced backlash online after blasting President Trump’s policies in a heated MediaBuzz segment – as viewers call for her to be taken off air.

Contributors Mary Katharine Ham and Leslie Marshall discussed Trump’s recent economic policies, specifically regarding tariffs against Mexico and Canada and controversial budget cuts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Sunday morning’s episode.

Marshall, a Democratic strategist, sparked controversy after she slammed the administration’s budget cuts, which reportedly include 80,000 layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

‘What they are doing to veterans is immoral, it’s un-American, it’s horrific,’ she boldly stated.

She added that ‘it’s very hard to justify the kinds of mistakes that are being made.’

The commentator also questioned President Trump’s shifting stance on tariffs and his recent decision to delay implementation against Canada and Mexico while advocating for more precise cost-cutting measures with a ‘scalpel’ rather than a ‘hatchet.’

‘This is what happens when you have business people running a government,’ Marshall argued in the now viral clip.

Marshall also claimed average Americans are suffering financially due to the administration’s policies.

But Marshall was quick to fire back at her critics on social media. In response, Marshall defended her role as an opposing voice on the network

‘What he doesn’t talk about is how your 401(k)s, your kids’ education funds, your IRAs are tanking because of the decisions that he is making and that Republicans are blindly going along with despite their constituents saying, please, don’t do this to us.’

‘When you have people whether it is in air traffic control or a cancer research that they’re fired, then they’re brought back, then they’re fired again, this is the chaos that those in my party that did not vote for this man, this administration and this party.’

‘Because of this, because of the chaos, and we’re not alone. I know everybody wants to say, oh, the George Soros plants – they’re not. These are people that are angry. You can see them all over the place.

‘”I voted for trump, but I didn’t know he was going to take my job, my wife’s job, my kid’s job. I voted for trump, but I didn’t know he was going to deport my grandmother who is not a criminal, she came here at the age of three illegally.”‘

‘I would agree he’s going to pay for it, and I think republicans are going to pay for it heavily in the midterms,’ she warned.

Marshall’s comments drew immediate backlash from viewers and social media users, with many accusing her of spreading misinformation about the president’s second term agenda.

‘Loser Leslie Marshall lying her ass off on Fox News. No pushback from the host,’ wrote one viewer on social media.

Others questioned Fox News’ decision to continue featuring Marshall as a contributor.

‘Why does Fox News continue having Dem deranged people like Leslie Marshall who look in the camera and blatantly ignore the truth,’ another commenter posted.

‘You’re such an idiot! All you do is lie on Fox news! Why don’t you go to the lying Lib news?’ another user rudely wrote on X.

But Marshall was quick to fire back at her critics on social media.

In response, Marshall defended her role as an opposing voice on the network.

‘You know what I think is idiotic? Anybody who calls somebody who disagrees with them an idiot,’ she wrote.

‘Anybody who watches a complete stranger on TV takes the time to go to their phone or computer looks them up and their account to send them a message on a beautiful Sunday morning.’

She added: ‘Oh, that’s right let’s just have a network where everybody agrees with everybody 100% of the time heck why don’t we do that in our country we could be just like North Korea!’
