White House Argues Fox News Owes 'Every Single Viewer' an Apology for Co-Host's Comment About the 'Muslim World'

The White House is blasting Fox News’ Jesse Watters for his comments about “Arab Americans and about the Muslim world.”

In a statement to Mediaite on Thursday, White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said, “These hateful lies about ‘Arab Americans and…the Muslim world’ highlight the urgency of President Biden’s work to ensure hate has no safe harbor in America, and why he committed to the first national anti-Islamophobia strategy in our history.”

“These unacceptable remarks come just weeks after the heartbreaking killing of a 6-year-old Palestinian-American child, and during a spike in threats against Muslim and Arab Americans,” he continued.
