Fox News' attempt to book pro-ICE Democrat backfires spectacularly

This is incredible. @FoxFriendsFirst thought they booked pro-ICE Dem Ann Kirkpatrick on show, but accidentally booked Barbara L'Italien
(@teambarbara) instead.

L'Italien delivers personal message to Trump saying "we must stop abducting children... stop putting kids in cages."

So the other thing that was hilarious was that fox showed the words "repeatedly booed" on their banner text, and NO ONE was booing her!

One Democrat or another Democrat running for a state seat, it doesn't occur to them that the two Democrats aren't interchangeable. The fact that both candidates are women probably bamboozled them, too.

This would happen a lot more often to Fox if there were more Democrats lining up with Republican policies.
