Fox News Host Awkwardly Fact-Checks Trump Campaign's Claim That Harris Called Biden 'Racist'

During a recent segment on Fox News, senior Trump campaign advisor Katrina Pierson commented on Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's Vice Presidential pick for the upcoming election.

In the interview, Pierson said:


"Not long ago, Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist and asked for an apology she never received. Clearly, Phony Kamala will abandon her own morals, as well as try to bury her record as a prosecutor, in order to appease the anti-police extremists controlling the Democrat party."

This quote led to a fairly awkward fact check from Neil Cavuto, who noted that Harris never called Biden a racist.

"The president seems to be saying that Kamala Harris had called Joe Biden a racist. She never did."

During the debate in question, Harris actually went so far as to say to Joe Biden:

"I do not believe you are a racist."

Though Pierson was pretty obviously trying to paint Harris as a tool of the "far-left," it's worth noting Harris was one of the more moderate candidates during the Democratic primary and has received a decent amount of criticism from the party's progressive wing.

Cavuto brought attention to this as well, saying:

"As a former prosecutor, if anything, Kamala Harris was getting heat from many African Americans of the party and others because she was a little too tough on crime and that sort of thing."

Meanwhile, during other Fox News broadcasts, the claim that Harris accused Biden of being a racist went "entirely unchecked."

Many online noted the irony that a Fox News journalist doing his basic duty was considered newsworthy.


Cavuto has gotten in trouble with President Trump in past over his basic fact checks.



Cavuto has made a habit of pushing back against some of the President's more egregious lies.



It's likely Fox News will continue to portray Harris and Biden as far-left extremists for their conservative viewers.

White House correspondant John Roberts even claimed after Cavuto's fact check:

"Whether or not [Harris] actually said the word 'racist' or not, I mean, the intimation was there."

With Trump's Presidency riding on this November's election, it seems Fox News reporters aren't going to let something as small as the "facts" harm his chances.

Court documents identify the man as Sean Dunn, who allegedly shouted profanities at a group of officers before tossing a “submarine-style sandwich” at a Customs and Border Protection agent standing at a busy intersection on Sunday. Dunn was employed by Office of International Affairs within the department's Criminal Division as a paralegal.
