Fox And Friends Very Upset Sunday Talk Shows Discussed Racist 'Send Her Back' Chants

To many on Fox News, when a president [Trump] screams and writes racist tropes at the top of his lungs at four women of color in Congress, that's not the story at all.

Who do you think is the villain in all of this?

If you said "the media" -- because they covered it, you would be right.

Tweeting racist memes against four freshman Congresswomen was bad enough for Trump, but when his rallygoers began chanting "send her back," another disgusting racist trope, Trump stood there for 13 seconds admiring himself and his crowd.

Trump tried to lie about it afterward because his closest advisers convinced him to, but it hasn't stopped him from continuing his assaults against the four freshman women of color in Congress

So in the opening segment of Fox and Friends, this is how they framed the story.

Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said, "Last week at the rally, we heard the folks chanting "send her back." So the president spoke for, what, an hour and a half at that rally almost, and that's what the media focused on. So we knew the Sunday shows were going to focus on it, right, and they did. They talked about race, race, race."

Fox News cued up clips of the Sunday talk shows focusing in on the un-camouflaged racist chants.
