This was not a rebuke. This could be construed as issue framing and repetition of dog whistle language to get the audience fired up. He dropped rigging, cheating, fraud and illegal voting without stating that none of those claims were untrue, inaccurate, or lies. This is a soft propaganda technique to activate emotions and responses associated with those dog whistle terms used. No different than when a certain poster just starts asking questions. It is very transparent and not kosher. So be prepared for the opposite response you think this is going to draw, because Fox viewers are not buying anything except rigging, cheating, fraud and illegal voting is happening until it is ultimately rebuked from a trusted information source. Fox did not rebuke anything.
