Fox & Friends' Ainsley Earhardt pissed off at reaction to Trump's phone call to Military widow
Fox & Friends” tried to contain the damage after President Donald Trump upset the widow of a slain soldier by telling her that’s what her husband signed up for when he joined the military.
Steve Doocy introduced the story by accurately reporting the president’s alleged remarks, but then co-host Ainsley Earhardt accused Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) of being overly insensitive and politicizing the call.
“This representative, this Democrat down in Florida, said she was in the car, I believe it was in the car or she was listening on speaker phone, with the wife down in Miami,” Earhardt said. “She said that the president was insensitive when he called to say, ‘I’m sorry your husband died fighting for our country,’ and she said he framed it wrong. He said that comment, she was really offended by it. My response to this was the president of the United States of America called to say, ‘Thank you for your service, I’m sorry for your sacrifice.’ That in and of itself is extremely special that the president of the United States picked up the phone to call these families.”
“Listen, this is one representative’s opinion but what she thought the tone was and how it was being portrayed,” Kilmeade said. “Who are you to sit there and say, ‘I am offended by the way the president, by the president’s tone to this family.’ If this family won’t speak out, I get it. But for her to scramble and call CNN into this story and make herself this major event is, to me, is totally inappropriate.”
