Buttigieg attacks Fox News hosts at Fox News town hall

[left-of-center2012]

Buttigieg, who came under fire from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party for taking part in the Fox News event in Claremont, N.H., took direct aim at the network watched closely by President Donald Trump and other conservatives.

"A lot of people in my party were critical of me doing this, and I get where that's coming from, especially when you see what goes on with some of the opinion hosts on this network," Buttigieg told Fox News host Chris Wallace. Buttigieg cited "Tucker Carlson saying immigrants make America dirty" and "Laura Ingraham comparing detention centers with children in cages to summer camps." Wallace did not address Buttigieg's attacks on the two hosts.

Carlson and Ingraham both host primetime shows on Fox News and have stirred controversy with their comments. Carlson, in December, said allowing in immigrants" makes our own country poor and dirtier and more divided." Ingraham, in June, said immigrant child detention centers were "essentially summer camps."

"There's a reason anybody has to swallow hard and think twice before participating in this media ecosystem," Buttigieg said. Buttigieg was very well received by the Fox News town hall audience and his comments prompted repeated enthusiastic applause.
