Fox News anchor Kayleigh McEnany ripped the White House on Wednesday for not categorizing antisemitic threats as “domestic terrorism.” During a segment on “Outnumbered,” McEnany voiced her concern over the recent global rise in antisemitism and questioned why the White House isn’t labeling the culprits appropriately. Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy was shown in a clip questioning spokesman John Kirby on how the White House classifies individuals making violent antisemitic threats in the U.S. Kirby responded, stating he wasn’t aware of such individuals being categorized as “domestic terrorists,” and suggested the issue would be best addressed by law enforcement. In a subsequent clip, Doocy probed press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the labeling of protestors who allegedly make Jewish students feel unsafe on college campuses. She responded by saying the White House has been “very clear” about their stance on antisemitic incidents. “You know, I don’t get it,” McEnany reacted to the clips, speaking to Fox contributor and Democratic strategist Kevin Walling. “The DOJ has arrested a student who published a threat to stab and slit the throat of any Jewish males he sees on campus, and to rape and throw off a cliff any Jewish females, and to behead any Jewish babies. That seems like an extremist to me, and a domestic terrorist!” “It’s 100 percent extremist, 100 percent domestic terrorist,” Walling replied. “He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, the student at Cornell University.” “Why won’t the White House say it?” McEnany asked. “Well, they should,” Walling said. “And the president has been, I think, very clear. When he was in Israel, on that trip, and since then before, multiple audiences condemning this antisemitism. We need to call it out as extremism.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
