Fox News Host Grills Pete Buttigieg: How Can You Call Trump Racist After Super Bowl Ad?

Image
In an effort to reach all possible voters before Monday night’s Iowa caucuses, Pete Buttigieg brought his campaign message to Fox News, sitting down with anchor Ed Henry, who asked the candidate how he could still believe President Donald Trump is racist after the Super Bowl ad he ran on Sunday. While Buttigieg has said that he can “bring people together” and get Republicans on his side, Henry accused the candidate of “doubling down” on his claim that Trump supporters are “at best looking the other way on racism.” Speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, Buttigieg said he had no “regrets” about his previous comments. “I’m very concerned about the racial division that this president has fostered,” he said, “and I’m meeting a lot of voters who are no longer willing to look the other way on that, looking for a new political home.”‘Fox & Friends’ Worries Pete Buttigieg Might Be the Next ObamaThis brought Henry to Trump’s Super Bowl ad, in which Alice Marie Johnson can be seen ...

The U.S. Senate's top Republican exhorted fellow senators on Tuesday to acquit President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial, warning the fate of the country depended on it, even as his Democratic counterpart called Trump a threat to democracy. The partisan rancor in the dueling speeches by Republican Senator Mitch McConnell and Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer underscored the wider polarization in the country over Trump's impeachment on charges arising from his dealings with Ukraine.

Well, FiveThirtyEight reportedly confirmed the final results.It would've been good news for Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who led the pack with 22 percent and 18 percent, respectively. That falls in line with an earlier report that media outlets increased their coverage of Warren after glimpsing the numbers.It was a particularly rough poll for former Vice President Joe Biden, who fell all the way to fourth, despite hovering near the top of the leaderboard for months.
