Just when you thought racial insensitivity couldn’t get stranger. Fox and Friends decided that they would do a segment on Steve Cohen’s stunt, eating chicken before the House session where AG Barr didn’t show up.
“He’s racially insensitive, that’s what I think,” Lynette Hardaway, known as Diamond on her YouTube commentary series, said on “Fox & Friends” on Friday. “Can you imagine if that was a Republican doing that to a Democrat? Just think about that for a moment.”
It’s unclear what about Cohen’s stunt, while nearly universally panned as silly, would constitute racial insensitivity. Both Barr and Cohen are white. Cohen represents Tennessee’s 9th District encompassing most of metropolitan Memphis. His constituency is two-thirds black.
