Elizabeth Warren slams Fox News as ‘racist,’ won’t appear on town hall
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is bashing Fox News as “a hate-for-profit racket” that gives voice to “racists” in announcing she won’t be participating in one of the network’s televised town halls.
Warren sent an email to supporters shortly before noon today saying she had turned down Fox News’ invitation to participate in a town hall.
“Fox News is a hate-for-profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists — it’s designed to turn us against each other, risking life and death consequences, to provide cover for the corruption that’s rotting our government and hollowing out our middle class,” Warren said.
After saying Fox News “balances a mix of bigotry, racism, and outright lies with enough legit journalism to make the claim to advertisers that it’s a reputable news outlet,” Warren said she wouldn’t give the news network the chance to profit off her appearance through advertisements.
