Fox Hosts Attack Obama’s Trip To Hiroshima: ‘He’s Ashamed Of America’
Didn’t you just know that the moment President Obama announced he’ll visit Hiroshima that Fox News would start up on the “apology tour” fiction? Fox’s Meghan McCain probably got a Fox bonus for dragging in Michelle Obama’s “For the first time in my adult life I’m really proud of my country” remark, misconstruing its meaning and then announcing, “These people do not view America in the way that I do.”
During an Outnumbered “Overtime” segment for the internet, cohost Dagen McDowell started the attack.
MCDOWELL: In journalism, we all know this, there’s always the last question you ask is, why now? Why is he doing it now? Secretary Kerry already went there. It’s not a major anniversary. Why is he going there? And I’m reading into it but I always get the feeling that he’s somehow ashamed of the United States.
McCain could be heard saying, “Yeah.”
Cohost Harris Faulkner questioned McDowell’s attack. “What would lead you to believe that?” she asked.
MCDOWELL: Again, I feel like he’s constantly apologizing. I mean, his entire foreign policy has been one of extraction and creating vacuums, of trying to remove the United States from the world stage.
Now Faulkner was on the team. She interjected snarkily, “Except for Iran! We did such a deal with Iran. We even did side deals!”
Next was Meghan McCain’s turn to attack the Obamas.
