Fox News Blasted For Claiming Parents Who Threaten School Boards Will Be Sent To Guantanamo Bay

Fox News Blasted For Claiming Parents Who Threaten School Boards Will Be Sent To Guantanamo Bay
Fox News

Fox News has faced heavy criticism for its coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic and is currently under fire after one of the network's guests erroneously claimed that parents who threaten school boards over vaccine mandates and critical race theory will be sent to the country's military prison at Guantanamo Bay.

The claim came from Republican Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, who, during an appearance on "The Faulkner Focus," insisted that President Biden's administration has branded these people "domestic terrorists."


The Biden administration has never used such language, but that didn't stop Brnovich from saying otherwise, as you can see in the video below.

Brnovich said:

"Just because parents are exercising their First Amendment rights to speak out against critical race theory or even vaccine mandates does not make them domestic terrorists, and if we allow the Biden administration to continue this, God forbid you're going to end up with Mom and Pop at Gitmo."
"Think about how outrageous that is... to think about..."
"We are living in a time where we need to make sure that we are protecting our constitutional rights on every single level, from the local school board levels, to the state, and especially on the federal level."

Brnovich and Fox News have been harshly criticized for the segment.









Pushback against Covid-19 vaccines and vaccine mandates has intensified as the Biden administration's vaccine mandate prepares to go into effect.

The mandate will affect roughly 100 million Americans. It will include a vaccine mandate for all federal workers and contractors, in addition to a requirement that large companies must mandate vaccines or regular testing for employees.

The Department of Labor (DOL) has confirmed that the mandate for businesses will be published soon.

It is being developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is crafting an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to enact the mandate, which requires all companies with at least 100 employees to require vaccines or weekly testing for employees.

Meanwhile, false claims that schools have been teaching critical race theory to young children has also inflamed hostilities among the right-wing, particularly since the publication of The 1619 Project, which repositions the consequences and legacy of slavery as elements vital to the historical narrative.

Critical race theory is a body of legal and academic scholarship that aims to examine how racism and disparate racial outcomes have shaped public policy via often implicit social and institutional dynamics.

Although critical race theory is just one branch of an incredibly varied arena of academic scholarship, it has nonetheless served as a flashpoint among the far-right amid a campaign by Republicans to energize conservative voters, particularly in school board elections.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
