Fox’s Lawrence Jones Gushes Over Venezuelan Opposition Leader: ‘I Love How Bilingual She Is’

Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones couldn’t hide his admiration for a Venezuelan opposition leader ahead of an interview on the show, telling colleagues, “I love how bilingual she is.”

During a discussion about “taking back our hemisphere” following the Trump administration’s move to blow up a drug cartel’s boat that President Donald Trump claimed was loaded with drugs,” the curvy couch, consisting of Jones, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and Brian Kilmeade, turned the conversation over to how the president is taking action “into our own hemisphere.”

“This is a new move to say, ‘Our backyard matters more than what happens miles and miles away,'” Campos-Duffy said. “That’s kind of MAGA. That’s America first. And that’s also America’s first.”

Jones then jumped in: “We’ve also got some allies in other countries as well. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, she has been on the forefront.”

He then bizarrely gushed: “I love how bilingual she is, too. She can send a message in both languages. She’s gonna be on the program later on, has received a lot of death threats — they’re trying to go after this woman —  she’s been leading the charge.”

“She is the bravest woman in all of Latin America and we have her on the show today,” Rachel Campos-Duffy added.

“Can’t wait,” he said.

RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: This is part of a much bigger… Let’s go meta here. This is a new doctrine. And I think what you are seeing President Trump do is pivot from the old war from Europe, even from the Middle East, and moving into our own hemisphere. He’s saying our neighborhood is the host important thing that we can take care of. And so what you’re seeing is, he is sending a message not just to the cartels — you know they control 40% of the land mass in Mexico? They control all kinds of airspace and waterways. And he’s saying no more of this. And it’s not just a message to the cartels. It’s not just a message to Nicolas Maduro and even to Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico, but it is to China. All of this as you mentioned before, China is in bed with all of these bad actors. And President Trump-

BRIAN KILMEADE: Argentina, Ecuador — who is not a bad actor — but they still have deals with them.

CAMPOS-DUFFY: Well, there are financial deals there, but also there’s on the criminal side as well. They have had free rein in our hemisphere and President Trump is saying, “no more.” That’s why interdicting isn’t enough. We’re gonna blow you up, we’re gonna destroy the cartels and it’s gonna send a message to everybody that there’s a new sheriff in town.

KILMEADE: Couple of things. I just want to amend something you just said. I think he is focusing on Central and South America like a president we haven’t seen.

CAMPOS-DUFFY: Absolutely.

KILMEADE: But think he’s doing it all. I don’t think is he taking his eyes off the Middle East. I don’t think is he taking his eyes off China. I think he’s keeping his eyes on everything. That’s what he does. I mean, he’s having a tech meeting with all the tech titans 10 o’clock meeting — that begins at the same time he’s focused on America 250. At the same time, he says Panama Canal, Venezuela, and then we’re going to reclaim through the Monroe Doctrine what was put in place in the 19th century. We’re going to reclaim the hemisphere, but at the same time, I think he is still keeping his eye on what is happening with Israel and China.

CAMPOS-DUFFY: He’s keeping his eye on everything, make no mistake the southern hemisphere or western hemisphere is resource rich. All the Lithium, and all the critical minerals, there’s oil. There’s so much there and we’ve ceded so much of it to China. Ports even, we’ve ceded to China in our own hemisphere. So this is a new move to say, “Our backyard matters more than what happens miles and miles away.” That’s kind of MAGA. That’s America first. And that’s also America’s first.

LAWRENCE JONES: We’ve also got some allies in other countries as well. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, she has been on the forefront. I love how bilingual she is, too. She can send a message in both languages. She’s gonna be on the program later on, has received a lot of death threats — they’re trying to go after this woman —she’s been leading the charge.

CAMPOS-DUFFY: She is the bravest woman in all of Latin America and we’re gonna have her on the show today.

JONES: Can’t wait.
