A Fox News town hall with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) went south on Sunday when the presidential hopeful started attacking the network over its abortion coverage.

Her rant against Fox began after a former pediatric nurse asked about her position on late-term abortions.


Instead of offering a response to the question, Gillibrand blamed Fox for talking about the “red herring” of infanticide, devoting more than six hours to covering the abortion debate.

"What we have created, unfortunately, is a false choice and a false narrative," she said. "And Chris, I want to talk about the role that Fox News plays in this because it's a problem. I can tell you before President Trump gave his State of the Union, Fox News talked about infanticide."

"Infanticide doesn't exist," she said, before host Chris Wallace interrupted.

I couldn't believe Wallace wasted an hour of time interviewing her.

Well it was kind of a limp attempt, but at least he did try to challenge her.

A better line would have been 'are you saying that points of view which differ from your own should not be heard?'

I'm thinking that the odds are good with 23-24 candidates that we can get a real melt down style rant out of one of them....
