Fox News anchor rips RNC chair for defending Trump attack on Brzezinski
By Brandon Carter - 06/29/17 04:19 PM EDT
Fox News anchor Julie Banderas blasted President Trumps attacks on Mika Brzezinski Thursday, saying thats not how you run a country and imploring Trump to just walk away.
Banderas hit Trump's tweets during a segment with Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. Fox News carried the interview instead of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's remarks at a White House press briefing, according to The Washington Post.
McDaniel appeared on Fox to defend Trumps early-morning tweets, in which he said Brzezinski was bleeding badly from a face-lift when he saw her last year at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Today, the president acted like a human, and he pushed back, McDaniel said.
Banderas knocked McDaniels defense of Trump, saying the president didn't need to stoop to that level.
I don't care who you are. You don't stoop to the level of that. I mean that's like me scolding my 4-year-old for using a bad word and then me repeating it. That's just not how you run a country or you parent a 4-year-old, Banderas said.
I mean I have to be honest, you know, if you see this negative commentary on a show, change the channel. Ignore it. I mean that's what I tell my kids: When somebody's mean to you, don't fight back. Just walk away.
Banderas also defended former President Barack Obamas lack of reaction to attacks on him during his presidency.
People used to call him a Muslim. People used to call him under-qualified, a sellout to America, a hater of Israel, she said. I mean they called him every name in the book, but you didn't see him lash out."

Makes me smile to think that deep down, there's probably a lot of Republicans right now who secretly long for the day that No Drama Obama was at the helm.

Those in the White House and Media who defend this piggish man have stooped to his level. For everything Donald Trump does is worthy of criticism.
