Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Buttigieg condemns 'voices on Fox' for spreading 'fear' and 'lies'
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (D) condemned Fox News opinion hosts who "spread fear and lies" while explaining why he is appearing on the network for a town hall Sunday night.
"There’s been a lot of debate recently about whether Democratic presidential candidates should go on Fox News," the South Bend, Ind. mayor said in an email released by his campaign late Saturday. Buttigieg said that he had pledged to appear on the network because of the opportunity to promote his message to millions of viewers who likely have different policy opinions than him.
"If we ignore the viewers of Fox News and every news platform that doesn’t share our worldview, we will surrender our ability to speak directly to millions of American voters. If we don’t show up, the conservative media will tell our side of the story for us."
The comments from Buttigieg came as several 2020 Democratic presidential candidates weigh the potential benefits of appearing on the conservative-friendly network. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) last week knocked Fox News, saying that she would never appear in a town hall hosted by it. An aide to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) told The Hill that the network has "reached out, but we haven't entertained it."
