Coulter: Trump boycott isn't about Kelly, it's about Fox being pro-open borders

By Ann Coulter

Donald Trump is the first alpha male to run for president since L.B.J., but his opponents think it's clever to claim that he's "scared" of Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly because he's said he's skipping this week's Republican debate. This is like attacking 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney for being a libertine - or President Bill Clinton for being boring.

In addition to being the only candidate who will build a wall and deport illegals, apparently Trump is the only candidate who knows how to land a punch.

Whenever you hear someone say Trump is boycotting the debate because of Kelly, remember that he didn't pull out until Fox issued a juvenile press release, saying it had heard from "a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly" and "a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers."

Wow - where did Trump ever get the idea that Fox was treating him badly?

Fox has made a habit of insulting Trump - provided he's not there to respond. After the first debate - which, incidentally, all the polls say Trump won — Fox let it be known that the moderators had been prepared to forcibly remove Trump from the debate if he failed to follow the rules. Brett Baier even revealed their cute little speech before they would escort him to the elevator: "We don't want to have to escort you to the elevator outside this boardroom. But we're locked and loaded."

Trump has gotten along well enough with bankers, unions, mafia dons and New York City bureaucrats to make himself a billionaire. Why him? Why not Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)? And why leak it after it was obviously not necessary?

It's true that Trump has focused his complaints about Fox News's coverage of him on the network's star anchor, Kelly. I assume he's using Kelly as a cat's paw for an attack against the entire Rupert Murdoch enterprise, which is implacably pro-open borders, pro-amnesty and, consequently, anti-Trump.

No one thinks Kelly was up in her office alone, furiously scribbling her questions for Trump. Before that first debate, there were stories all over about the whole Fox News team working on the debate questions.

But most people don't know who Murdoch is. Kelly is a star. By attacking her, Trump anathematizes the entire, pro-amnesty network.

One of the biggest problems facing the nation is that viewers think of Fox as the "conservative" network. If NBC or ABC were this spiteful to Trump, everyone would see it for what it is: political bias. Your enemies can never hurt you; only your "friends" can.

Fox News's bias is more insidious. The hosts avoid stridently attacking Trump. You simply never hear from any pro-Trump guests - unless they're completely ineffective. Immigration-opponents have been aggressively shut out - just as they were when Mr. Amnesty John McCain was running for president in 2008

Didn't know you were a Hillary fan.

Quoting your girl?


I'd go with Hillary if I were you. Fox News is doing all they can to elect her.

Every show on the Fox News Channel evidently.

While watching Dennis Michael Lynch on Newsmax last night, found an interesting tidbit.... Fox founder Rupert Murdoch is the co-chairman of an open borders group called the Partnership for A New American Economy (PNAE).

Read the whole thing and open your eyes and ears for 3 minutes. It might be the most important column written this year. It’s not about Trump, it’s about Fox and the commentariat and if you think about it, why we’re in the state we’re in.

Non sequitur.

She’s got more important things to do then spearhead a boycott of the MSN.

If you think it would work, go for it.

Thanks, you are correct.

It seems a lot of posters here have not been reading the threads exposing Fox News for their anti-American anti-Constitutional pro-Illegal immigration agenda.

Instead they attack a 98# woman who they would not have the guts to confront her in person.

Trumps entire candidacy is about illegal immigration and preserving our country. No one has gone out on a limb on this issue and stuck to his guns the way trump has. He doesn’t need this gig. He has a huge following because of immigration and loss of jobs.

“...He talks their talk and WILL make “DEAL?”. same/same...”

You need to be a little more explicit than that...
Actually Trump and Hillary are as different as night and day...

Do you know the difference between capitalist and socialist?

It isn't working. It's not catching on. You've tried it on at least one other thread and it failed there too. Give it up and find another catchy way to slam Palin for no reason as you have in past FR posts of yours.
