As Trump Calls For Ban On Muslim Immigration, Fox Denies Existence Of Anti-Muslim "Backlash"
Fox's Jesse Watters: "Let Me Know If You See Any Muslim Backlash, I Haven't Seen A Lot Of It"
Co-hosts of Fox News' The Five denied the existence of an anti-Muslim "backlash" in the United States, saying that they "haven't seen a lot of it" and that had the Obama Administration conducted more surveillance of Muslims "they wouldn't have to have these conversations about telling us to be tolerant." The comments came shortly after Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump called for a ban on Muslim immigration into the United States -- including by U.S. citizens seeking to re-enter the country.
Trump drew widespread criticism on the afternoon of December 7 for his call for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," including Muslim-American citizens currently abroad.
During the next hour, co-hosts Jesse Watters and Kimberly Guilfoyle sought to criticize Obama administration's call for tolerance toward Muslims by denying the existence of discrimination against people of that faith. Watters asserted, "Let me know if you see any Muslim backlash, I haven't seen a lot of it." Guilfoyle added, "I mean, who's vilifying any of the Muslims. Who's doing that?" Co-host Juan Williams subsequently pointed to Trump's statement. From the December 7 edition of The Five
