Fox Host Defends Trump’s Attack On NM Gov. By Suggesting She’s Prejudiced Against Him
When a Democrat criticized Donald Trump for attacking New Mexico’s Latina governor, Fox host Harris Faulkner jumped in to blame Governor Susana Martinez and suggested that she’s prejudiced against Trump.
In a discussion on Outnumbered about Trump working to turn blue states red, Democratic cohost Julie Roginsky said that Trump needs to “expand the tent” and start appealing to women.
ROGINSKY: And what he did last week is, he went to New Mexico and really excoriated the Republican Latina governor of New Mexico, Susana Martinez. That’s not expanding the tent. That’s compressing the tent. …You won the Republican primary. Don’t go shooting inside the tent.
…He’s gotta consolidate the Republican vote. My advice to him would be, “Stop trashing Susana Martinez. Stop trashing people who you’re gonna need to work on your behalf.”
Cohost Faulkner jumped in, once again feigning the role of “reasonable analyst” to camouflage her Trump cheerleading. First, Faulkner blamed Martinez for not showing up to Trump’s rally in Albuquerque last week, then Faulkner suggested Martinez’ dislike of Trump is because of her ethnicity.
