Fox News' Outnumbered Panel Disagrees With Trump Calling Omarosa A Dog

On Outnumbered on Fox News Tuesday, Tweets from President Donald Trump referring to former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman as a “dog” and other insults were, for a moment, the object of criticism.

“My word,” said host Melissa Francis of the tweets. “What a terrible idea.”

Francis wondered at the President’s word choice. “Why use that kind of language?”

Fox News correspondent Lea Gabrielle replied that “he shouldn’t have called her a dog, but dogs will stop barking at you if you ignore them long enough.”

“He should not have called her that, though,” she added.

National Review’s Andrew McCarthy said the Omarosa tweets are part of a bigger picture.

“Melissa, your point about the tweets is bigger than this person, alright,” he said. ‘The President decided at a certain point to have a strategy with respect to Mueller of attack, rather than, his first set of lawyers need to be trying to work it out, like it is normally done in the case.”
