Why Do You Think Fox & Friends Deleted This Tweet…?

Hmm. This morning as the Democratic National Convention kicked off, Fox News’ Fox & Friends tweeted out this photo:

Now, though, the tweet with the photo of Bill Hemmer coming up behind Heather Nauert as she works is gone.

Why do you think that is? Could it have something to do with the sexual harassment claims made against Fox News employees by Gretchen Carlson and reportedly backed up by Megyn Kelly? Some people think so!

@owillis fox already deleted it. Guess ‘wise’ wasn’t the word.

Over the weekend, a few bombshell reports came out in different publications. What they seem to reveal is that even though Roger Ailes is no longer the head honcho at Fox, the sexual harassment allegedly experienced by Carlson and Kelly is not solely an Ailes problem so much as it is woven into the fabric of the culture of FNC.

Whether the photo of Hemmer and Nauert shows sexual harassment is irrelevant; most are content to be shocked at how tone-deaf it is in the wake of all these allegations.
