'Fox & Friends' Host Calls North Korea Summit A Meeting Of 'Two Dictators'

“Fox & Friends” co-host Abby Huntsman seemed to slip up Sunday while discussing the upcoming summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, calling it a meeting of “two dictators.”

Huntsman and “Fox & Friends” guest Anthony Scaramucci, who was infamously fired as White House communications director after just 10 days in office, chatted about the highly anticipated summit during the show Sunday.

“This is history,” Huntsman said over video showing Trump arriving in Singapore ahead of Tuesday’s meeting with Kim.

“Regardless of what happens in that meeting between the two dictators, what we are seeing right now ― this is history,” she continued.

Scaramucci brushed right past Huntsman’s apparent gaffe and instead offered praise for Trump’s foreign policy strategy.

“He’s a disruptive risk taker,” Scaramucci said. “He’s willing to break what would be the usual bonds of not going to a meeting like this.”

Huntsman later corrected herself on the show.

“As you know on live TV, sometimes you don’t always say things perfectly,” she said. “I called both President Trump and Kim Jon Un a dictator. I did not mean to say that. My mistake, so I apologize for that.”

I think a lot of Americans of the deplorable bent actually want a dictator. As long as he (never she) is a Republican of course.

I think they would love to have a strong man dictator like Putin, Decarte or Kim Jung Un of their own. A President unshackled by any independent Justice department. Who could round up all the libtards, queers, journalists and opposition party leaders and throw them all in jail.

He would be forgiven of all corruption and enriching himself in office just so long as he got rid of everyone that didn't look like them or think like them.

This is scary. Democratic voters would never endorse any Democratic President to have a third term even one well loved such as Obama. But in a recent poll, 52% of Republicans would be fine with Trump just being gifted a second term sans any election.

it's a fucking duck, and Trump does believe he has dictatorial powers. He has no respect for the rule of law or the Constitution of the United States. None.
