President Donald Trump continued his attacks Tuesday against media outlets NPR and PBS, calling on Republicans in Congress to “defund” the “radical left monsters.”

“Republicans must defund and totally disassociate themselves from NPR & PBS,” Trump posted to his Truth Social media platform Tuesday, “the radical left ‘monsters’ that so badly hurt our country.”

NPR and CBS have found themselves in the crosshairs of congressional Republicans who claim the outlets should not receive federal funding due to what the lawmakers perceive as left-learning biases.

“We believe that you all can hate us on your own dime,” Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told the heads of the broadcasters during a House hearing last week.

During the hearing, NPR Chief Executive Officer Katherine Maher apologized for tweets she posted calling Trump a “deranged racist” and a “fascist.”

The posts were made before Maher became CEO.

“I regret those tweets,” the NPR chief executive said. “I would not tweet them again today. They represented a time where I was reflecting on something that I believe the president had said, rather than who he is. I don’t presume that anyone is a racist.”

The hearings were held a day after Trump said he would “love” for the Department of Government Efficiency to defund NPR and PBS.

“Well, I would love to do that,” Trump said.

“I think it’s very unfair. It’s been very biased the whole group, I mean, the whole group of them. And frankly, there’s plenty of the media you have right now. There’s plenty of coverage…So the kind of money that’s being wasted, and it’s a very biased view, you know that better than anybody, and I’d be honored to see it.”
