“Thank you, mayor,†Wallace replied, as the audience began to stand in applause, surprising the anchor. “Wow, a standing ovation,†he remarked.
Many Consveratives on Twitter took notice of Wallace:
Reminder: Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg compared Christianity to the ideology behind Islamic terrorism last week and has repeatedly shown his disdain for traditional-minded Christians

People who showed up to watch Pete Buttigieg in person — i.e. fans — liked what they heard and gave him a standing ovation.
Shocking. pic.twitter.com/hyFGj2S5zm

The snake Chris Wallace cant even confront Buttigieg’s reprehensible insinuation that Jefferson, the man responsible for “all men are created equal” & have an inalienable right to liberty, inspiring the abolition movement is somehow a racist demon whose memory is an embarrassment

Chris Wallace let Pete Buttigieg attack fellow Fox News hosts, deafeningly silent on Al Jazeera Holocaust film. Must have missed that part of the interview!

With all due respect Brit. Why is Fox giving a platform to a character assassin without even trying to shame CNN, MSNBC into opening even the smallest crevice in their wall of lies against Trump. Wallace gave Pete softballs, didn’t even challenge his anti-Jefferson slander. https://t.co/RHl9LMyjRI

President Donald Trump also took notice:
Hard to believe that @FoxNews is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him. Fox is moving more and more to the losing (wrong) side in covering the Dems. They got dumped from the Democrats boring debates, and they just want in. They forgot the people…..

….who got them there. Chris Wallace said, “I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not, that Mayor Pete has a lot of substance…fascinating biography.†Gee, he never speaks well of me – I like Mike Wallace better…and Alfred E. Newman will never be President!

Anyone who has watched Chris Wallace’s show knows that he would never give such a softball interview to anyone in the Trump Administration. He takes on every single member that comes on usually bringing up debunked talking points to attack them.
Shame on Chris Wallace and shame on Fox News for this softball Town Hall.
