Liz Trotta Joke on Fox News about Assassinating Obama
Category : Women Career, Women Gossip, Women Lifestyle
Even as Hillary Clinton worked to defuse her Friday comment about the 2008 campaign and the Robert Kennedy assassination, a Fox New contributor went much further, joking about someone actually targeting Barack Obama. When Fox News contributor Liz Trotta slipped up and called Barack Obama “Osama,” you had to roll your eyes at another tired, standard “slip-up” on the world’s biggest joke of a TV network.
Liz trotta, according to video, replied, “And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, uh Obama. Well, both, if we could.” She laughed.
The host, Shawn, clearly understanding how far she had gone, quickly commented: “Talk about how you really feel.”
Then he continued: “But do you really think that–she didn’t mean that she thinks that he going to get assassinated, and she apologized–
Trotta: “Well, that’s beside the point, whether she meant it or not.”
Shawn: “And she’s just using it in a historical context?
Trotta: “She’s tone deaf, because it’s a radioactive word. And the whole question of the first black man becoming a candidate for presidency of the United States has all kinds of overtones and all kinds of caveats that really have to be considered in this thing. And his security has been a real issue. He’s had bodyguards earlier than anybody else. Surely this woman had to know that that was a third rail to say ‘assassination.’ And it’s hard to argue for her on this, because it isn’t the first time she’s made this step.”"
Watch the video here:
She called the Democratic candidate “Osama” after noting that some people had raised the possibility of an assassination. Prompted from off screen that she’d flubbed the name, equating the murder of a political candidate with the murder of a terrorist, she giggled about the prospect of killing them both, “if we could”.
You simply DO NOT JOKE about the assassination of a United States Senator and probable Democratic presidential nominee. You also do not deliberately identify him with a terrorist who killed thousands of innocent Americans.
