Instead of discussing why an African American state representative opposed legislation requiring Louisiana students to recite The Declaration of Independence, Fox News trotted out a favorite African American black attacker to smear her as racist and anti-American.
The Fox & Friends segment started with cohost Anna Kooiman saying, “The Declaration of Independence is under attack and the person trying to tamp it down, of all people, is a law maker.
An audio clip of Barbara Norton, an African American Democrat in the Louisiana House of Representatives, was played.
NORTON: For The Declaration of Independence, only Caucasians was free. And for you to bring a bill to request that our children will recite The Declaration, I think it's a little bit unfair.
Cohost Tucker Carlson said, “Ooh, that was Democratic Louisiana State Congresswoman Barbara Norton. She fought and defeated a bill that would require kids to recite The Declaration. Her argument: The founding document is racist.”
