Yesterday, Fox News host Andrea Tantaros jumped the shark by telling Americans to physically assault Obama supporters. For those who don't know her, she's one of the bobble-heads on their show "The Five."
She said this on her syndicated radio show:
"This is what is happening to our press,” she continued. “This is Obama’s America! It’s like the Soviet Union.” She then took aim at those who voted for “Obama’s America”:
“He said he would change the country. He said it. He said it. And a lot of people voted for him. And if you see any of those people today, do me a favor: punch them in the face.”
Funny thing happened after a commercial break; a right-wing caller told Tantaros that he “can’t stand” Obama, but that he doesn't believe people should punch him. He said “No, she didn’t just say that!”
So Tantros had the chance to clean-up this mess that was even appalling to her listeners. But folks, she went deeper with this:
“To be clear, I didn’t say punch Obama in the face,” Tantaros responded. “You’re going to get me arrested with this type of government.”
And then she re-asserted her initial request: “But if someone voted for him. If anyone that you know who voted for President Obama, smack them down.”
Fox needs to fire her now!!
Won't happen.
Here's the audio.
