Jedediah Bila, co-host of the weekend edition of “Fox & Friends,” along with “Fox & Friends” correspondent Todd Piro and Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins, laughed it up over the president’s tweets calling on the congresswomen to “go back” to other countries. President Donald Trump ’s bigoted and nonsensical attack on progressive Democratic women in Congress on Sunday drew praise from the hosts of his favorite morning cable news show. Trump’s tweets Sunday appeared to target several freshman Democratic lawmakers of color, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) Despite the racist and factually inaccurate statements made in Trump’s tweets, the Fox News personalities applauded the president’s remarks. Piro accused the progressive congresswomen of not taking their jobs seriously and dismissed them as an “Instagram group,” a reference to their prolific and strategic use of social media to raise awareness about their political agendas.
