Since losing to President Joe Biden in 2020, former President Donald Trump has claimed he was robbed of a second presidency — even as he faces two criminal trials related to his attempt to overturn the election.

Fox News' role in perpetuating the lies pushed by Trump and MAGAworld resulted in a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, which was settled last year.

In April of 2023, the right-wing network agreed to a nearly $800 million settlement to avoid trial. Former host Tucker Carlson even said he believes his firing — which occurred soon after the settlement — was a part of it.

According to a video shared by conservative writer and MSNBC analyst Tim Miller Monday night, the right-wing network has yet to stop alleging voter fraud.

Miller shared a clip of Fox News host Greg Gutfeld alleging that Democrats will likely rig the November election, writing, "Didn’t Fox pay a gazillion dollar settlement for airing unfounded claims of voter fraud recently? How is this still happening? Is board member Paul Ryan alive?"

"When you see these Trump polls, and these rallies, I'm worried about what we don't see," Gutfield said. "What are the Democrats cooking up with the votes? Legal or illegal? Judging by your eyes or your eyes, this election should not even be close."

He continued, "So the Dems have two options. One, accept the outcome, be comforted by the fact that you got one Biden term — a deal with the dementia-ridden devil, or resort to electoral dirty tricks."

"And that's why we need the utmost transparency, because I fear the Dems will go the second right. Although I have very little evidence of that, but that hasn't stopped me before."
