‘Call Hate Hate!’ McEnany Slams White House For Not Calling Anti-Semitic Threats ‘Domestic Terrorism’

 

Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany jumped on what she called the White House’s “refusal” to classify antisemitic threats as “domestic terrorism.”

“When it comes to those making violent threats against Jews during a worldwide surge of antisemitism, the White House won’t call them domestic terrorists,” McEnany exclaimed on Wednesday’s Outnumbered. She added, “You should be able to call hate hate.”

The show then rolled tape on Fox News’ Peter Doocy asking spokesperson John Kirby on Tuesday, “The people in this country making violent antisemitic threats, are they domestic terrorists?”

“I don’t know that we’re classifying people as domestic terrorists for that,” Kirby answered, adding, “I mean, that’s really a question better left to law enforcement. I’m not aware that there’s been a characterization of that.”

McEnany continued, “So, not domestic terrorists! Well, let’s try extremists.”

Tape then showed Doocy asking press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “What about these protesters who are making Jewish students feel unsafe on college campuses? Are they extremists?”

“I’ve been very, very clear,” Jean-Pierre said. “We are calling out any form of hate. Any form of hate. It is not acceptable, should not be acceptable here and we are going to continue to call that out.”

“You know, I don’t get it,” McEnany said to Fox contributor and Democratic strategist Kevin Walling. “The DOJ has arrested a student who published a threat to stab and slit the throat of any jewish males he sees on campus, and to rape and throw off a cliff any Jewish females, and to behead any Jewish babies. That seems like an extremist to me, and a domestic terrorist!”

“It’s 100 percent extremist, 100 percent domestic terrorist,” Walling said. “He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, the student at Cornell University.”

“Why won’t the White House say it?” McEnany asked.

“Well, they should,” Walling continued. “And the president has been, I think, very clear. When he was in Israel, on that trip, and since then before, multiple audiences condemning this antisemitism. We need to call it out as extremism.”
