'Fox & Friends' Blames Soros for Fox Weatherman's Attack

Following an attack on Fox News meteorologist Adam Klotz in the New York City subway, the network’s flagship morning show Fox & Friends has repeatedly blamed the beating on one man: Liberal financier and right-wing catch-all boogeyman George Soros.

Over the weekend, Klotz was left with two black eyes, bruised ribs and cuts across his face following an altercation with a group of teens on the 1 train. According to the weatherman, he attempted to stop the young men from hassling an older gentleman, only for the teenagers to attack him instead.

After the group of teens beat up Klotz and ran off, three of them were detained by New York Police Department officers—only to be released from custody soon after. “Juvenile reports were prepared, and their parents were called to pick them up,” an NYPD representative said. Klotz has since noted that police have told him he would need to file charges.

Fox News, which has framed New York City as a dystopian “hellhole” where violent crime is rampant, has used the harrowing attack to go after “soft-on-crime” Democrats and liberal criminal-justice policies. Klotz himself has appeared multiple times on the network to discuss the beating and criticize the city’s mayor over subway violence.

Always cracks me up how they constantly bring up crime in Chicago and blame it on Obama since he lived there for a time. But Trump was born and raised in NYC and has lived there at least part time for almost 80 years, why isn't New York crime Trump's fault?

But in the end the R's Faux News Network is playing to those who have never lived in or for many, never been to a big city.

That's their base.

It even happens outside NYC, amazingly. NYC is not a fucking theme park.

This is the mantra of many, be it Soros, the Rothchilds, the Illuminati, the Bilderbergers, and the list goes on and on. Keep in mind this is just the RECENT list.

It's a megacity, not the Garden of Eden. It's not a "hellhole" either.

When I joined Antifa the checks started flowing in weekly. I’ve purchased a cottage in Cape Cod and several automobiles and all under three years. Maybe you didn’t fill out the paperwork correctly? I’ll text George… I’m sure it’s a simple snafu.

If George Soros was going to send his minions to beat up someone on Fox, would he have beaten up the weatherman? I could buy it if Tucker Carlson would have been the target.

13. Good thing Saul Alinsky isn't alive or he'd be blamed for it too. Perhaps he did it posthumously.
