Shooting Inside the Tent at Fox News

It seems that some of the folks at Fox News are turning on each other.

The Daily Beast writes that Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy spent a portion of her weekend seemingly endorsing social-media attacks on her own colleague Jedediah Bila.

Campos-Duffy, a hard-core Trump supporter temporarily replaced Bila—a conservative who has been publicly critical of President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election on Fox and Friends weekend.

The Beast writes that Campos-Duffy celebrated her fill-in gig on Twitter, informing her followers that she would be hosting the morning show and calling on them to join her “for coffee & lively conversation about everything you’re talking about with your friends & family at home!”

It didn’t take long, of course, for a bevy of right-wing users to reply to Campos-Duffy by mentioning how much they dislike Bila—a Trump skeptic—and would prefer she lose her job and be permanently replaced.

And Campos-Duffy, apparently unaware that Twitter is a public forum, let it be known that she appreciated such comments, including ones that openly bashed her colleague.

“I am a busy mom and any likes or replies I made were completely unintentional,” she said in a statement to The Daily Beast following the publication of this story. “I have nothing but respect for Jedediah Bila and consider her a friend.”
