Fox host Rachel Campos-Duffy was called out Sunday after she claimed that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky likely wishes that former President Donald Trump was in charge.
Trump, who dodged the Vietnam draft claiming “bone spurs,” withheld aid from Ukraine in 2019, telling Zelensky he would send the weapons package passed by Congress only if he did a “favor.”
Campos-Duffy was ridiculed online by those who rolled their eyes at her, but particularly by those who pointed out her ignorance.
What was different about the statement from Campos-Duffy is it admits that Trump attempted to bribe Ukraine with the aid. She makes it clear that Trump attempted to use the aid as a bargaining chip, or as “leverage.”
