Fox News anti-protest segment backfires after business owner says cops did much of the damage

June 7, 2020

By The Conversation

A “Fox & Friends” segment highlighting the damage that looters have done to businesses during anti-police brutality protests took a strange turn when a business owner reveal much of the damage to her store had been caused by police actions.

During the segment, business owner Kelly Kandah was asked about how violent protests in Cleveland had harmed her Colossal Cupcakes store.

While Kandah said that looters did smash her store’s windows, she said the more lasting damage came from the police response to the looters.

She then explained that the teargas used by police has also seeped into the business’s wall and ducts, which she described as “deeper damage than I even would have expected.”

Constant violent and destruction images. The UTAH National Guard being kicked out by the mayor of DC (actually they moved to another hotel). Discussions about whether there really is racism in America. Etc.

As it is, I only feel for the non-FOX viewers who have to live among, listen to, be related to, waste time, be policed by, be governed by, waste resources, waste tax dollars, lose lives, consider, or simply be bothered at all by FOX neanderthals that don't even exist in 2020. And don't want to. And don't plan to.
