Fox News Host Miffed at Guest Calling Her ‘Far-Right’: ‘I’m a Journalist!’
Fox News has had a rough couple of weeks, so that could have been weighing on anchor Harris Faulkner on Thursday when she snapped at one of her guests for suggesting she’s a “far-right” advocate for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“I’m a journalist,” Faulkner lashed out after Democratic politician Desiree Tims said “you guys”—i.e., Fox News—want DeSantis to beat Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.
During her morning news program The Faulkner Focus, the so-called “straight news” anchor moderated a debate between Tims and GOP strategist David Avella on President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. At one point, Faulkner brought up that fringe Democratic candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson collectively have 28 percent support among Democrats in a recent Fox News poll.
