As Twitchy told you yesterday, Elizabeth Warren rejected an offer from Fox News to hold a town hall because she didn’t want to be a part of their “hate-for-profit racket.” In addition to fundraising off her bold stand, Warren was also paving the way for other Dem candidates looking to maintain abysmal poll numbers.
Kamala Harris, you’re up!
Scoop: Sen. Kamala Harris Will Not Appear On Fox News For A Town Hall https://t.co/GbVP5QFy4y

More from Yashar Ali:
Presidential candidate and California Sen. Kamala Harris will not appear on Fox News for a moderated town hall, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Harris’ campaign has not yet informed Fox News executives of her decision.
…
A spokesperson for the Harris campaign told me, “They’ve reached out but we haven’t entertained it.”
Of course they haven’t entertained it. Why would they? Fox News only consistently has the highest ratings among news networks and would give Harris a golden opportunity to connect with a wider audience than she might otherwise reach. Their logic is as airtight as Harris’ gun control arguments!
Weeeeeeeeeak

I really do think this is a short sighted move by Democrats. Lots of @FoxNews viewers in middle America that are independent voters. May play well for their base in the primary but ind voters who voted @realDonaldTrump 2016 may well see this as a "basket of deplorable" stance.

Harris, Warren aspire to be POTUS of the Democrats only. Stupid move. They are not going to harm Fox – each preaches to its own choir but the contenders claim to represent ALL Americans.

Another senator too afraid to face an audience that isn’t friendly how will she ever think to run a country?

Kamala Harris can’t seriously believe this helps her cause, can she?
Taking this stand is a big mistake.

Not only is it a mistake on Harris’ part, but we’re pretty sure it’s also an attack on the very fabric of our republic democracy.
2. In an interview with @PodSaveAmerica, Senator Harris told @jonfavs: "I think there’s a whole other conversation to be had about how Fox News does their work and the bias with which they do it." https://t.co/GbVP5QFy4y

So, just to recap for those keeping score at home, it’s totally wrong to impugn a media outlet’s credibility and legitimacy … unless you’re a Democrat.
Harris joins Warren in declaring a journalistic outlet to be the enemy. https://t.co/FbGKaOMpU2

Hey, @brianstelter
We are witnessing “an unprecedented attack on the free press” over here https://t.co/cpfMUkPY2e— Harry Khachatrian (@Harry1T6) May 15, 2019
It is a scary time now that we have sitting Democrat senators who are running for the presidency inciting violence against the journalists at Fox News
I hope our heroes @brianstelter and @oliverdarcy are on the move to cover these scary and literally murderous actions

They’ll get to it. Just as soon as they finish calling out Elizabeth Warren.
