Fox & Friends‘s Ainsley Earhardt Argues America is Great Because We Beat ‘Communist Japan’
Fox & Friends‘s Ainsley Earhardt may have to hit the history books.
When discussing New York governor Andrew Cuomo‘s assertion that America “was never that great“, Earhardt said that America is definitely great because “we defeated communist Japan.”
Say what?
“We ask our men and our women to go overseas to fight for our country and sacrifice so much for this great country so that we can be the land of the free, the land of the brave,” Earhardt said. “We’re the most generous country in all of the world. Yes, we have our faults. But because of this country, our world is definitely a better place. We are great.”
Steve Doocy cut in to try to clean up the mess, saying we defeated “Communism and Japan and so many other things,” but the damage was done.
Twitter let Earhardt have it – hard:
FOX News is informing viewers that our troops defeated “communist Japan.”
We feel 20% more stupid, just having typed that. https://t.co/6jNcH4SuXF

Surely we all remember where we were on the day when the United States defeated communist Japan. I was just returning from my first trip to Mars, when I heard the news. I looked down upon the flat earth below my gingerbread rocket ship & cheered… https://t.co/kdXf9rCrEz

The President of the United States gets his news from someone who thinks that the US “defeated communist Japan.”
What a stupid time to be alive. https://t.co/nqlSkDYHxl

I have to say, hearing 1930s Japan being described as Communist is a first for me and I once listened to a student consistently describe the Japanese suicide pilots of WW2 as Kawasakis. Yikes.
