South Bend mayor and 2020 Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg blasted Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham during his Fox News town hall on Sunday night, before receiving a standing ovation from the crowd after his closing statement.
Addressing the questions of bias that have plagued the media organization, Buttigieg called out two hosts in particular.
“I get where that’s coming from, especially when you see what goes on with some opinion hosts on this network,” he said.
“I mean, when you’ve got Tucker Carlson saying that immigrants make America dirty.
When you’ve got Laura Ingraham comparing detention centers with children in cages to summer camps.
Toward the end of the hour-long event, Wallace asked Buttigieg to deliver his closing statement.
“Wow, a standing ovation,” the Fox News Sunday host noted before announcing the next Fox News town hall with Democratic 2020 candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and ending the event. »
