WATCH: Fox Dredges Up Tired ‘Apology Tour’ Lie After Obama’s Mexico Trip

Some things just never get old. Well, not if you’re Fox “News,” anyway. So no one was really surprised when President Obama visited Mexico and, right on cue, Fox & Friends regurgitated that oft-debunked old chestnut, the “apology tour.” Every time the president goes abroad and behaves like a grownup instead of embarrassing the entire country, you can be sure conservatives will be lined up to accuse him of groveling, cap in hand, to foreign enemies (all foreigners are the enemy, remember), eager to criticize and blame America for that country’s woes.

Of course since this was Mexico, the Fox hate machine was firing on all cylinders — after all, this is the country that takes all our jobs (while at the same time being lazy, not paying taxes and leeching off our welfare) and, perhaps most nefarious of all, is predominantly home to brown people… who don’t speak English.

Mike Johnson (R-LA), using the Motion to Vacate she filed last month. She told Fox viewers she wanted to return to her House district to “listen to voters” before acting, however.

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
