Another big name just got the ax over at Fox News.
This one was not so “pro-Trump,” however. He’s been known to trash Trump from time to time.
Like much of the on-air talent over at Fox News lately he was definitely not cheering on our America First President.
The latest culprit to bite the dust is none other than Ed Henry.
And the reported reason why seems bizarre to me…”Sexual misconduct.”
Breaking: Ed Henry fired from Fox News over sexual misconduct claims. Story coming.

I know you can’t tell a book by its cover, but I just can’t picture Ed Henery sexually harassing anyone.
Although, it’s fair to note that he was taken off the air back in 2016 after a reportedly messy “extramarital affair.”
Maybe that has something to do with it?
The network says it terminated the former chief White House correspondent after receiving a complaint from a former employee’s attorney.
Fox News Channel says that it has fired America’s Newsroom anchor and former chief White House correspondent Ed Henry over sexual misconduct claims.“On Thursday, June 25, we received a complaint about Ed Henry from a former employees’s attorney involving willful sexual misconduct in the workplace years ago,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace wrote in a memo to staff Wednesday morning.
“We immediately retained an outside law firm (which has never represented Fox News in investigations or litigation) to independently investigate the claims,” they added. “Ed was suspended the same day and immediately removed from his on-air responsibilities pending investigation. Based on investigative findings, Ed has been terminated.”
The cable news channel says that a rotating group of anchors will co-host America’s Newsroom alongside Sandra Smith until a permanent replacement is named.
Henry, a former president of the White House Correspondents Association, joined Fox News as its chief White House correspondent in 2011, after serving in the same role at CNN.
He had been previously taken off-air in 2016 after In Touch Weekly reported on an alleged extramarital affair. When he returned to Fox News, he shifted to a new position as chief national correspondent, though he also would appear as a co-host on the channel’s morning show Fox & Friends Weekend.
It looks like the “woke mob” got Ed, and he’s paying for an allegation that happened “years ago.”
