Fox Host Relentlessly Shames Trump Rep. For Defending His ‘Obscene’ Name-Calling

Fox Business host Stuart Varney scolded Donald Trump’s marketing campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt like a headmaster admonishing a wayward scholar. (Watch the video beneath.)

At challenge was the previous president’s new nickname for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, “New-scum.”

Varney had an issue with the moniker. “I object to that kind of language. How about you?” he requested Leavitt on Thursday.

She bemoaned the “once great state of California” below Newsom. “You see real scum, real homeless people all over the street,” she mentioned.

“Are you saying it’s OK to bring that kind of language to a presidential campaign?” Varney mentioned. “New-scum? That’s OK?”

Leavitt replied that the “real problem” was “deranged Democrats” like Newsom and President Joe Biden.

“No,” Varney snapped. “I think your campaign has a problem with language like that.”

Leavitt mentioned voters don’t agree, prompting Varney to once more query the messaging. Now that Trump’s final GOP foe, Nikki Haley, has withdrawn from the race, Varney requested:

“You think you’re going to win over Haley voters with language like that, do you?” he requested. “Do you win over moderates and women with language like that? Really?”

According to an extended clip shared by Raw Story, Leavitt replied that “tough rhetoric” was required.

“Actually, it is not tough rhetoric,” Varney snapped. “It is obscene.”
