Fox News issued an on-air apology on Thursday to its viewers after a guess compared former secretary of state Hillary Clinton to “herpes.”
“She won’t go away. She’s like herpes,” said Anna Paulina, Turning Point USA’s director of Spanish engagement.
Fox News anchor Rick Leventhal immediately said that the remark was “not appropriate” and Paulina was taken off the air.
Leventhal later issued a groveling apology. “We are going to wrap this segment a little bit early because of the language that was used in the segment, and we apologize to our viewers for that,” he said.
Later in the show, co-anchor Arthel Neville apologized again.
“We want to reiterate that we do not condone the language that Anna Paulina just displayed here, and we apologize to Secretary Clinton for that. Fox News does not condone her sentiment.”
Meanwhile, and without apology, over at CNN and MSNBC, President Trump and his supporters are regularly compared to Nazis, a virus, the Ku Klux Klan, dictators, and a “cockholster.”
