KAYLEIGH MCENANY (FOX NEWS HOST): Emily, this is just dripping with condescension and fear. You heard him laugh like pretty loudly when Axelrod said it takes a different turn at the end of Tim Scott's speeches, you can hear Obama laughing. Then he says I haven't taken time to study Tim Scott's speech. Obviously you have, you are laughing as Axelrod is telling you about them. But he fears Tim Scott, he fears Nikki Haley, because here he is name-checking both of them.
EMILY COMPAGNO (FOX NEWS HOST): I thought this was so patently offensive, regardless of your skin color, any American, to see a former sitting president scoffing at a sitting U.S. senator and a current presidential candidate, saying I haven't spent a lot of time studying speeches, to your point, you have. You have enough to espouse on them now on a radio station. You have enough at least to put your voice out there. When he talks about crippling generational poverty, the only thing crippling anyone in this country is the current president and policies coming out of the Democratic Party. It is the overregulation, it's the complete focus on language and things that don't foster economic growth and opportunity.
