Fox Smears Black Legislator Objecting To Requiring Students To Recite Declaration Of Independence

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.”
