Wrong sub. I think you wanted to post this in "theonion" cause even fox hosts cant be that stupid.

When I first heard about it, I genuinely thought it had to be a fake story. And now I wish it was.

I'm still hoping to wake up and find it is still October, 2016.

Man, I would be so happy to find out everything since then was just a gnarly fever dream.

You really want to live through that shit again?

The point is that it would be better as a nightmare that never truly happened instead of our present reality.

It is probably, mostly, a fake story.

My guess is he had some list of reasons black voters would vote for trump, and happened to mention the sneakers as an afterthought.

The thing is, it's not. You can watch the entire video, without edits. It's as racist and banal as it sounds.

Where’s the video? I can’t see the article

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Here's the video, straight from Fox itself: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6347175332112

(Ugh, I feel dirty sharing a Fox link, but I don't want asshats coming out of the woodwork declaring it's taken out of context or some bullshit.)
