Elizabeth Warren turns down town hall request from ‘hate-for-profit’ Fox News
Bernie Sanders did it. So did Amy Klobuchar. Pete Buttigieg and Kirsten Gillibrand are about to. But it doesn’t look like you will be seeing Elizabeth Warren fielding any questions from a Fox News audience anytime soon.
‘I’ve done 57 media avails and 131 interviews, taking over 1,100 questions from press just since January. Fox News is welcome to come to my events just like any other outlet. But a Fox News town hall adds money to the hate-for-profit machine. To which I say: hard pass.’ That’s how Warren explained on Twitter TWTR, +1.40% her decision to turn down a request for her to appear at a town hall on Fox News.
