Fox & Friends Gets Tense After Steve Doocy Cites Reproductive Rights as Winning Campaign Message for Dems
Fox & Friends got a bit testy on Monday morning while discussing the strongest issues on which both parties are campaigning this election season — namely, reproductive rights.
While discussing how all the legal troubles facing former President Donald Trump have actually helped rally MAGA to his side, co-host Ainsley Earhardt said that some Republican voters were thinking, “we are so tired of the Democrats doing this and our government controlling what what happens in our lives.” She was referring to the four cases against Trump, two federal and two state, that were “brought on by a Democrat.” She continued:
[T]here’s nothing you can do about it if you’re a Republican, because it’s all controlled by the Democrats. And now the Republican Party is saying “We like him even more, because what we’re seeing happening to him is not fair. And that could happen to any one of us.”
Co-host Steve Doocy piped in about what the Democrats were doing while President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were campaigning for reelection:
Well, I’ll tell you this. While the Republicans are trying to figure out who the nominee is going to be here in New Hampshire and elsewhere, you know what, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are going to do this week. They’ve got a number of events talking about reproductive rights, because even though we’re talking about stuff like right now, ultimately, what the Democrats are going to run on closer to November is Dobbs and how former President Trump was able to get three justices on the Supreme Court overturned, reproductive rights. Now it’s up to each and every state, it’s all part of federalism. But it is such an effective tool. Every time the Democrats have run on that, they have won.
Co-host Lawrence Jones, on location in New Hampshire, scoffed after the mention of “reproductive rights.”
Doocy went on to point out that presidential candidate and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley’s well-received debate response to the issue, and Earhardt chimed in to say that “women liked her response on the debate stage that day — evangelicals did not.”
Co-host Brian Kilmeade later wrote off the use of the phrase “reproductive rights” as “spin,” calling it “pro-abortion.”
