New York congresswoman responds to network's reactions to controversial comments made by its stars.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has criticized Fox News in the wake of the outcry surrounding comments made by two of its most high-profile stars.
Carlson, who has the second-highest rated show on Fox News, has faced calls to resign after comments he made on a radio show several years ago were unearthed by Media Matters. On the show, Carlson said that while he does not condone underage marriage it is not the same as thing “pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child."
Carlson responded to the criticism in a statement and during a monologue on his show, but refused to apologize. “None of that matters. Nobody cares. You know the role you’re required to play: You are a sinner, begging the forgiveness of Twitter," Carlson said. "Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Koran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won't get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?" she said on Saturday's Justice with Judge Jeanine.
