Fox News Star Seemingly Cheers Twitter Attacks on Her Own Colleague – By Justin Baragona (The Daily Beast) / Dec 15 2020
The pro-Trump pundit replied with heart-filled emojis to hateful tweets about the ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ host she temporarily filled in for this weekend.
Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy spent a portion of her weekend seemingly endorsing social-media attacks on her own colleague Jedediah Bila.
Campos-Duffy, a stridently pro-Trump former reality-TV star, temporarily replaced Bila—a conservative who has been publicly critical of President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election—on Saturday and Sunday as a Fox & Friends Weekend co-host while Bila dealt with an apparent “home emergency.”
The one-time MTV Real World star celebrated her fill-in gig on Twitter, informing her followers that she would be hosting the morning show and calling on them to join her “for coffee & lively conversation about everything you’re talking about with your friends & family at home!”
It didn’t take long, of course, for a bevy of right-wing users to reply to Campos-Duffy by mentioning how much they dislike Bila—a Trump skeptic—and would prefer she lose her job and be permanently replaced.
