Tomi Lahren previously pushed the same sexist smear about Kamala Harris on Fox Nation mediamatters.org/blog/2019/08/0…
Lahren previously devoted an episode of her Fox Nation show to Harris “using an extramarital affair to boost her political career” and “dating [her] way to the top” mediamatters.org/blog/2019/08/0…

Wait till they find out that their network gave Lahren a full Fox Nation episode to push the same smear, over the chyron, "Kamala's Affair Boost" mediamatters.org/blog/2019/08/0…
Her Fox Nation segment flew under the radar. That's by design -- the streaming service was intended to provide content that “could be even less restrained than the network’s evening programming.”

But commentators also pushed the smear on Fox itself.
Here's regular Fox guest Joseph diGenova referring to Harris as “Willie Brown’s paramour" in May.

Host Laura Ingraham chuckled and replied "ouch."
Newt Gingrich has also twice brought up Harris' relationship with Brown, albeit more obliquely.

The congresswomen should have been allowed to go on their trip and our bigoted president’s attacks on them are bigoted. But I still find this on its face to be pretty troubling: forward.com/fast-forward/4…

I have little expertise here, don’t read Arabic and don’t want to over or undersell this. After looking at its website a bit, Miftah appears to be a Palestinian good-gov’t org. that receives funding from Western European governments and has also published virulent anti-Semitism.
It has produced recent reports on tax policy and sexual violence, seems to do a lot of work on women’s political and cultural empowerment, and supports “popular peaceful resistance and peaceful civil disobedience.”

For the record, I just reviewed every mention of "Greenland" on Fox News and Fox Business since January 2017 and they haven't been telling President Trump to buy it as far as I can tell. wsj.com/articles/trump…
I'm going to go drink now.
(The bad news is they're telling him not to worry about melting ice there because climate change isn't real.)

Gertz's Law of Trump Book Recommendations: He hasn't read them, he's just seen the author on Fox.

Loesch: This individual had six previous felony gun charges on him. He also had beaten murder charges and all kinds of stuff.

The president's tweet attacking Reps. Tlaib and Omar and urging Israel not to let them visit appears to be a Fox livetweet (though Fox's Benson is arguing that denying them access is a bad idea).

1) Kamala is the privileged daughter of foreign post grad students. She spent most of her formative years growing up in Canada. She's not an Black American descendant of slaves. She's a Brahmin Indian (highest caste) descendant with paternal lineage of plantation slave owners.
2) She wasn't a defense attorney. She was a prosecutor. She laughed about smoking weed listening to Tupac Shakur but put almost 2,000 people in jail for doing pretty much the same thing. She levied fines on single mothers whose kids were truant from school.
3) She denied parole to inmates so she could make them work for nothing while the State of California made a dollar a day off their labor.

Kamala Harris has literally nothing in common with the black American community. Her name, Kamala, means "lotus flower" in her maternal

Fox News contributor Robert Jeffress is a terrible bigot with a history of rhetoric against LGBTQ, Jewish, and Muslim people, among many others. Fox anchor Shannon Bream recently praised him as coming "from a very good place" and will appear at his church. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/0…
"From a very good place":
"Judaism, you can't be saved being a Jew." (More: mediamatters.org/research/2015/…)

Is the 'handler' [one of many] connected to Epstein?

mediamatters.org/blog/2018/12/0… I think this piece is right that conservatives traffic in liberal outrage — my book, Troll Nation, is all about this — but I think it’s wrong to assume this means that Coulter, Erickson, Lahren, Yiannopoulos etc. don’t mean the awful things they say.
I don’t think it’s preposterous to assume a number of right wing figures mean it when they say they’d like to see political opponents murdered. Pinochet wasn’t joking when he threw people from helicopters, and Erickson wasn’t joking when he fantasized about it.
There is no reason to think Americans are uniquely incapable of turning to the viciousness that other countries have endured at the hands of authoritarians who gain power. Indeed, we’ve already seen a journalist murdered, and Trump is actively trying to cover it up.
