Miller ripped the poster and the network’s “toilet” ratings.
“Fox News’ ‘Never Trump’ bias against President Trump apparently now extends to his supports as well,” Miller said in a statement. “It’s tacky, it’s petty and it explains why their ratings are in the toilet.”
Fox News said the poster originated from security.
“This paper was designed and printed by the Fiserv Forum security team as a guide for candidate walk- throughs that took place yesterday,” according to a Fox spokesperson. “FOX News Media was not involved with the production of the document and did not sanction any of the language used.”
