Fox News apologises to Hillary Clinton after conservative commentator Anna Paulina says she is ‘like herpes’
- Anna Paulina was immediately yanked from the segment for using language that stunned show’s host Rick Levanthal, who said it was ‘not appropriate’
Conservative commentator Anna Paulina had her wires crossed on Fox News, and somehow, her Thursday segment only got worse from there.
She was brought on to discuss investigating Hillary Clinton. But Paulina opened on the southern border and a bizarre history of century-old legislation that federalises reservist troops. Another guest tried to quell the confusion before careening back to Clinton’s emails – a favoured Fox News topic.
Though his show prompted the discussion about Clinton – it was incredible, host Rick Leventhal said, that Clinton still captured attention.
“She won’t go away,” Paulina said. “She’s like herpes.”
A smirk fell off the face of political analyst Doug Schoen. Leventhal was stunned but recovered: “OK, that’s news that we are breaking here,” he said.
“Not appropriate.”
