Fox News abruptly cut away from the White House’s press briefing earlier today after White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany played a video of the ongoing violence occurring in Portland, Oregon.
The video showed ANTIFA protesters destroying property, assaulting law enforcement forces and setting fires. The video even shows one anarchist telling an officer she hopes “someone kills your whole [expletive deleted] family…I hope they kill you too.”
Shortly after the video, Fox News cut away from the ongoing briefing. Host Harris Faulkner said, “We were not expecting that video. Our management here at Fox News has decided we will pull away from that at this time.”
It’s unclear what went into Fox’s decision. Violence and civil unrest have ravaged the city of Portland for nearly two months.
