Fox News Panel Brawls Over Whether Trump ‘Demonized Brown and Black People’: ‘Newsflash: It’s Not Working!’
Panelists on Fox News’ Outnumbered brawled on Friday afternoon over Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’s respective media appearances and whether Trump has “demonized Brown and Black people.”
The segment began with host Kayleigh McEnany prompting Patrick Murphy, Under Secretary of the Army under President Barack Obama, to respond to a Politico headline about Trump winning “the day” on Thursday because of Harris’s decision not to attend the Al Smith Dinner that evening.
“Do you think that’s a headline Kamala wanted?” inquired McEnany.
“No, but I also don’t think she lost a week or, listen, she wasn’t at that dinner,” began Murphy. “Two things: One, she did go on Fox News this week with Bret Baier, right? Give her credit that she had the guts to do that. She did do 60 Minutes. Give her guts to do that. Donald Trump didn’t do that. You would never see Donald Trump on MSNBC-”
“No, instead he sat for like two hours with the CNBC editor-in-chief and took questions,” interjected McEnany, likely referring to an event Trump did with Bloomberg’s editor-in-chief.
“And also the Bloomberg thing that he did, it was not that great, right?” suggested Murphy.
After Nicole Saphier jumped in briefly to argue that Harris had not attended the dinner because “her agenda” is “so far away from what Catholic faith is all about,” McEnany regained the floor to praise Trump again over the Bloomberg event, noting that he had not been fielded “easy questions.”
“I give credit for that and I said, I give him credit for that. But he canceled the 60 Minutes interview after he said he would do it. He would never go on MSNBC. She came here on Fox News. And I’d also say this, want to say this as a Catholic,” replied Murphy to the former Trump spokesperson. “This is my point: I do think there’s something like a little amiss when you’re at a black-tie dinner for Catholic Charities, which is a great event and a great charity, right? And I’m proud, I’ll be at my men’s group tomorrow morning at 7am, right? I will say they’re laughing and yucking it up, right? At the same time, that’s the president that demonized Brown and Black people. He’s the one that separated families.”
“He has not demonized Black and Brown people,” argued McEnany as Murphy criticized Trump for his past commentary on Muslim and Haitian immigrants.
She continued:
I am having a flashback to 2016 when the left tried to use the racism playbook. And newsflash: it’s not working! All of the headlines talk about Black men increasingly supportive of Trump. Latino, there was an article today, we put it up last segment, Latino men coming towards Trump and it giving jitters to the Kamala Harris campaign in Pennsylvania. So with all due respect, I think that talking point should be in the dustbin of history because it’s not working the cycle.
