'Fox & Friends' cheers Afghan bomb video [View all]
"Fox & Friends" on Friday admiringly aired a government video showing a massive bomb being dropped in Afghanistan, with one host touting it as "what freedom looks like."
The U.S. military on Thursday dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), commonly called the "mother of all bombs" onto a terrorist tunnel network in Afghanistan.
Fox News's morning show on Friday aired the video of the bombing to the sounds of Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue. The country song, written in 2002 amid calls for military action after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, famously contains the line Well put a boot in your ass, its the American way.
Host Ainsley Earhardt referenced the song's lyrics, saying that even though the video is in black and white, Thats what freedom looks like, thats the red, white, and blue."
