Fox News Host Mark Levin on Defying Network Rules Against Political Campaign Ads: ‘Nobody Is Going to Stop Me’
Fox News host Mark Levin was a “special guest” at a campaign rally for a local GOP candidate this week. After he got called out by Media Matters for violating a network policy against campaigning, Levin used his radio show on Wednesday to insist “nobody” can stop him.
“If I want to support a friend who’s running for the state Senate, well, dammit, I will do it. I should have done more for him. If I want to support my local sheriff then, dammit, I will do it, and nobody on this planet is going to stop me. No corporation, no left-wing group funded by billionaire, American-hating pukes. Nobody,” he said.
TheWrap reached out to Fox News but did not immediately hear back.

Media Matters, which functions as a watchdog group focusing on conservative media, noted that beyond campaigning Monday for Republican Geary Higgins’ Virginia state Senate campaign, Levin also appeared at another rally for Higgins in May and a 2018 rally for Florida Republican Ron DeSantis’ successful gubernatorial campaign.
Higgins lost his race Tuesday, which helped Democrats gain control of the state Senate.
