    Lol this is straight disinformation, and an example of why she didn’t take the interview with faux news.

    Delete this bullshit.

    Here’s the actual transcript:

    VAUGHN: Congresswoman Tlaib?

    TLAIB: I don’t talk to Fox News! I don’t talk to Fox News!

    VAUGHN: At a rally in your district people were chanting ‘Death to America’, do you condemn…

    TLAIB: I do not talk to Fox News!

    VAUGHN: But do you condemn chants of ‘Death to America’?

    TLAIB: I don’t talk to people that use racist tropes.

    VAUGHN: Why can’t you just say whether or not you condemn people chanting ‘Death to Amer…’ Why are you afraid to talk to Fox News?

    TLAIB: Fox News is not, not, listen to me, using racist tropes towards my community is what Fox News is about and I don’t talk to Fox News.

    VAUGHN: Is ‘Death to America’ racist?

    TLAIB I don’t talk to Fox News.

    VAUGHN: Is chanting ‘Death to America’ racist?

    TLAIB: Talk about your guys’ racist tropes. You know, you guys know exactly what you do. And I know you’re ‘Islamophobic’, but you guys gotta go deal with it on your own self, you’re not gonna use me.

        People ignore the rantings of a deranged lunatic on the street and aren’t blamed for not responding to those rantings. Fox has screamed lies and propaganda at the top of its lungs and have argued they aren’t a news channel in court. Why should an elected representative respond to the ravings of someone like that?

          Yet she was supporting those frantic lunatics.

            Clearly Fox is the deranged lunatic. A random entertainment program yelling questions at you doesn’t deserve a response

              She’s an elected official. She should be willing to talk to the press when she attending an anti-American rally.

                Fox news isn’t impartial press.

                Elected officials should be willing to put out statements and policy plans somewhere but there is no need to require them to trudge through a swamp of racist heathens to do it.

                  Can you find where she has condemned those statements in any media? Issued a press release? And fox isn’t racist. That’s such a dog whistle.

                    If you were impartial you would understand that the reporter asking this particular question to a congressperson of color could only be the result of systematic racism.

        Adl labels her anti-Semitic. She’s at a rally where they are saying death to America. Is that who we want in our government?
