Wow, talk about a swing and a miss.
Last weekend, Fox & Friends took aim at our campaign once again — but this time, their target was definitely a little weird.
Piggybacking off the comments of alt-righters on Twitter, Fox News decided it’d be a good idea to critique my outfit of all things. An outfit that, to be clear, I do not own, and was supplied as a part of a photoshoot for an article talking about our campaign, our goals, and our vision for the future.
But they weren’t concerned with the facts, or the policies designed to help working class Americans that our campaign is all about. Fox News cared more about continuing their smear campaign against our movement — by painting every activist and leader who demands better treatment for working class families as hypocritical. Their endgame? To scare people about the spectre of socialism by any means necessary.
It’s this type of disingenuous behavior that causes middle class Americans to see right through their act — because when we should be talking about important policies, like ensuring Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, or the abolition of private prisons, Fox News is talking about an outfit instead.
Remember, Republicans aren’t going to let us reform our broken political system without a fight. They’re willing to use any low blow to try and derail our movement, because they’re scared of what we can accomplish.
That’s why we can’t let up, not with only seven weeks left before the general election. But with you on our side, I know that we’ll make it to Washington to fight for a vision of the future where people are more important than corporate profits.
Pa'lante,
Alexandria
