Fox News host sorry for calling Trump, Kim ‘two dictators’
AP ^ | June 10, 2018

Posted on 06/10/2018 2:57:21 PM PDT by McGruff

A Fox News host has accidentally referred to the highly anticipated summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a meeting of “two dictators.”

“Fox & Friends” co-host Abby Huntsman made the comment on Sunday as TV footage showed the Republican president landing in Singapore for a summit with Kim on Tuesday. Guest and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci didn’t catch it.

But the daughter of U.S. Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman later apologized on air for what she had said. Her gaffe still took off on Twitter.

For anyone who is interested who might not have seen it, here is the link: Abbey Huntsman calls Trump and Kim Jong-un "two dictators"

To an uninitiated person such as myself, it didn't come across as an attempt at a jab, but I recognize, not knowing any history about her and what she is like, I could be wrong too.

Sure sounds like a slip of the tongue. Or brain fart like I have frequently.

I can’t disagree as I don’t know who she is, although I suspected she was on there for her physical appearance when I saw the first shot of her.

Thanks, rlm. I agree with you, don’t think it was a jab just a mistake.

She had just previously referred to Kim as a dictator and was talking fairly fast.

Well I guess I’m clueless I thought she was a fan of our president and that her father was appointed by our president I didn’t realize he was a never Trumper or part of the GOP and I didn’t realize that she is possibly not a fan of our president she always seems to speak very highly of him and the administration oh well you learn something everyday.....

You FReepers can be disgusting, posting things you know nothing about.

Abby is one of the good ones, pro-Trump all the way.

It was a slip of the tongue. Get over it.

“She had just previously referred to Kim as a dictator and was talking fairly fast.”

That’s what I’m thinking watching it a couple of times.

I admit to having a bit of sympathy for people who commit unintentional faux pax...

LOL, every single day when I type emails, my standard closing is “Regards,” and for some reason (possibly simply “T” is right above “G” on the keyboard!) I am constantly in peril of sending out an email that closes with “Retards,”!

And, spell check won’t catch it!

So...I admit to having a little sympathy for people with gaffes until I know for sure personally or through their actions they either are really being a jerk, or deserve blowback for an unintentional gaffes because they have shown themselves to be jerks...

LOL, not only at Fox, editor-surveyor, of that I am certain! I don’t watch television, but my wife does, and when I go to work in the morning as she is watching the news, I can’t help but see the physically attractive women outnumbering men 3-1 on the screen, dressed like they are trying to cause cervical strain in men, and contemplating the ratio of mental acumen to physical attributes.
