Fox & Friends praises Trump's bigoted tweet telling Democratic congresswomen to leave the United States
Fox & Friends cohost Jedediah Bila says that Trump is “making an important point”
Published
Following an earlier segment on Fox & Friends, Trump made bigoted remarks attacking Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), telling them to “go back” to “crime infested places from which they came.”
About 20 minutes before this morning's grotesque Trump rant, Fox & Friends ran a segment about “the Squad” and aired comments Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley (both born in the U.S.) made at Netroots Nation.

While many commentators noted the open racism of Trump's remarks, Fox & Friends praised Trump for “making an important point,” even laughing along as they read what he wrote.
