Fox Yakkers Insinuate Lindsey Vonn’s Injury Was Due To Her Criticism Of Trump
Instead of concern for skier Lindsey Vonn, one of America’s most decorated and promising Olympic athletes, Fox News seems more interested in suggesting that her recent back injury was proof that she should never have criticized Donald Trump.
Fox already had its knives out for Vonn before she was injured. On Friday morning's Fox & Friends, “not in the tank for Trump” cohost Ainsley Earhardt called Vonn “very un-American” after she announced that she plans to represent “the people of the United States” and “not the president” at the upcoming Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. She also said she would not accept the invitation from the White House that is traditionally offered to Olympic athletes.
So when Vonn was injured on Saturday, well, Fox was ready to feast. FoxNews.com posted an un-bylined article with the headline, “Lindsey Vonn suffers back injury in World Cup race after Trump comments.”
