Fox News host Lisa Kennedy pushed back on President Trump’s acceptance of a jet from Qatar, a decision that has raised concerns about national security and his motivations during a trip to the Middle East this week.
“I don’t think the plane is that great of an idea to accept because I think that if we are forcing Democrats and the Biden family, which was famous for decades of grift, if we are holding them to account, then I think it’s a political mistake to be doing something that could be construed as the same thing,” Kennedy said on Wednesday’s edition of “The Five.”
Trump has defended the decision to accept the jet from Qatar, saying only a “stupid” person would refuse such an offer.
News of the gift has angered Democrats and led some Republican senators to question the move.
Kennedy, a leading host on Fox, characterized the episode as an unhelpful distraction in comments first highlighted by Mediate.
“And you have to be able to employ the political golden rule, which is, if it’s wrong for them, it’s wrong for us,” she said. “And why distract from the phenomenal wins that have happened over the last 10 days?”
