Bev Turner has erupted at former BBC producer John Mair in a fiery on-air clash over the Corporation’s editing of a Donald Trump video.
It was revealed earlier this week that in the Panorama programme, Mr Trump appears to say: "We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don't fight like hell you're not gonna have a country any more."
However, the US President told the crowds that "everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard".
Discussing this on The People's Channel, Mr Mair defended the BBC, insisting Trump had "incited" his supporters to storm the US Capitol.

Bev hit back furiously, accusing the broadcaster of “completely distorting history” to push an anti-Trump narrative.
"If GB News edited a clip like that, we’d be strung up by Ofcom," she fumed.

"We’d lose our licence. Why have you got away with it for so long, John?"
Mr Mair conceded the footage may have been "unfairly edited" but denied any wider bias, insisting the BBC remains "trusted worldwide".
GB News guest Neil Oliver said: "Continuing to insist that Donald Trump incited an attack is just plain wrong.
"There was an attempt to create that impression but Trump was never convicted of doing so. To keep pushing that line now just underlines the problem with the BBC.
Mr Mair hit back: "Then why are the BBC’s trust figures still so high? Around 80 per cent, aren’t they? They haven’t dropped much. People believe in BBC News, not just in Britain but around the world.

Mr Mair answered: "Personally? I think he’s very amusing. But I don’t think he should be anywhere near power.
Bev Turner: "Well, there you go, my friend that’s exactly the prejudice people like you, who worked for the BBC and still defend it, bring to editorial judgement.
"The idea that GB News is somehow biased is laughable. We would never do what the BBC did, we would never edit a clip to completely distort history to make a political point.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said "heads should roll" at the BBC, while the Government has been assured the Corporation is examining the memo leaked to the Daily Telegraph.
The leaked 19-page dossier revealed that Panorama "mangled" footage of the 47th President’s remarks cutting from the start of his address to a section nearly an hour later to make it seem he told supporters to "fight like hell".
