The widow of late Fox News CEO Roger Ailes recently claimed that Rupert Murdoch and his son, Lachlan Murdoch, do not “love” or “understand” America because “they weren’t born here,” Breaking Celebrity News has learned.

Beth Ailes’ surprising remarks were made on Tuesday night during an interview with Newsmax host Eric Bolling on his program The Balance.

“I believe Rupert, the major Murdoch, and Lachlan, the minor Murdoch, do not understand America the way Roger did because they weren’t born here,” Beth Ailes charged. “They don’t have the love of country, in my opinion, that only comes from being born here.”

“I think that a lot of the audience has left and that’s because there’s no more Eric Bolling, there is no more Bill O’Reilly, there’s no Greta [Van Susteren],” she continued. “Where is everybody? They’re on Newsmax. They have other places to go.”

“I think the network is falling apart because of the lack of leadership,” she said. “Obviously, Roger was one of a kind.”

Ailes’ widow attributed the decline of the conservative news network to “three or perhaps four Ts” – Tucker Carlson, trust, talent, and Donald Trump.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Fox News lost a substantial portion of its audience in April when Murdoch abruptly axed Carlson from the network.

"Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the network said in a statement on April 24. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”

Meanwhile, former President Trump has repeatedly attacked Fox News and even decided to skip the first GOP debate last week – which was hosted by the network – in favor of an interview with Carlson on X.

“Why doesn’t Fox and Friends show all of the Polls where I am beating Biden, by a lot,” Trump fumed earlier this month on Truth Social. “They just won’t do it!”
