A Fox News spokesperson pushed back against the Biden campaign in a statement to The Hill.

In a letter to the Fox News general counsel, Biden campaign manager Greg Schultz pressed Fox to reject the ad.
“Though the Trump campaign is prepared to fabricate outright lies, your station’s airwaves should not be used to disseminate them,” Schultz wrote.

Please consider this letter a standing request that you reject any advertisement containing similar claims, regardless whether the Trump campaign or a third-party group seeks to place it.”
