Kirsten Gillibrand wasn’t afraid of throwing a few punches at Fox News on Sunday evening — even as she was being broadcast live on the news channel and interrupted by the host.

During an hour-long, Fox-sponsored town hall at the University of Dubuque in northeast Iowa, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked about her thoughts on late-term abortions by an audience member.

In response, Gillibrand, a senator from New York, said there was a “false choice and a false narrative” regarding abortion in the United States.

Reacting to a Fox News interview with Attorney General William Barr that included Barr essentially threatening Democrats who criticize him and justifying the president calling the Mueller probe a “witch hunt,” Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said Friday that Trump now has a new fixer.

In the interview that was aired Friday, Barr told Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer that House Democrats who have accused him of contempt of Congress are discrediting him because they’re likely “concerned about the outcome of a review of what happened during the election.” Furthermore, the attorney general said he wants to see if FBI officials “put their thumb on the scale” during the Russia investigation, especially during the origins of it.

President Donald Trump continued on Sunday to give oxygen to calls for Fox News to let Judge Andrew Napolitano go after the on-air personality claimed that the president was “immoral” and “repellent” and that he likely did obstruct justice, according to evidence in the Mueller report.

Trump retweeted an obscure Twitter account on Sunday morning that said, “When you look at the continuous incorrect statements by Napolitano over the past 2 years, it is fair to ask FNC why they allow him to have national air time.
