President Donald Trump‘s surrogates have begun to shift expectations of the commander-in-chief’s border wall promise to something they’re now calling a “fence,” but Fox News host David Asman warns that if Trump fails to deliver the “wall” that his base expects, it would be Trump’s “Read My Lips moment.”

On Wednesday afternoon’s edition of Fox News’ Outnumbered, co-host Melissa Francis tried the fence trick by telling the panel “I would like to use my Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth and force everyone in the conversation to be intellectually honest that we are not actually talking about a wall. I mean, we never have been, we’re talking about a fence.”

Asman said that he agreed with Francis “up to a point,” but added that “The wall is a very specific thing for the president’s base. For the president’s base the wall, those words, ‘The Wall,’ means a lot.”

“This is one of the ‘read my lips’ moments for this president,” Asman added, referring to the now-famous campaign slogan that came back to haunt former President George H.W. Bush. “If he is viewed by his base as caving on the issue, no matter how they try to spin it at the White House, already some of the base is beginning to fray a little bit worrying that the president is giving up on this.”
