Fox News announced Tuesday that it will host a town hall with 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on May 19.

The live event will take place live in Claremont, N.H., at 7 p.m. and will be moderated by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace.

“We look forward to hosting Mayor Buttigieg in New Hampshire and again showcasing our first-in-class journalism and election coverage,” Fox News and Fox Business President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace said in a statement.

“We’ve said from the beginning of this campaign that Pete will talk to every audience and meet voters where they are,” campaign spokesperson Lis Smith told The Hill on Tuesday following the announcement. “For Democrats to win back the White House, we can’t just retreat to our safe spaces, we need to aggressively make our case everywhere- that’s exactly what Pete is doing.”

1. "Showcasing our first-in-class journalism"

LOL. But also yikes. I still think that it's a mistake to legitimize so-called Fox News by appearing on their propaganda feed.

2. "First in State journalism" maybe.

That line stood out for me, too.

Faux News seems to do OK with town halls, judging from Bernie's there. But I agree with the DNC's decision not to legitimize Trump''s Pravda with a primary debate.

3. No One Despises Faux More Than I, But Chris Wallace Is One of Their Few Actual Journalists, and ..

.. I think Pete will handle himself well. Never pass up a chance to be seen!

4. Pete is the only person running for president who is a combat veteran.

It is an important fact that he should mention on the show in case they question his credentials for patriotism.
