Fox News pundit claims "African-American" told her immigrant camps better than housing projects

It seems as if on the daily, someone on Fox News says something stupid and/or racist on one of their programs. On Thursday, it was former reality show star-turned-political analyst Rachel Campos-Duffy who started talking crazy when she claimed that the immigration detention centers that are currently housing migrants in large cages are apparently better than housing projects.

Where did she get her info from? An unnamed “African-American.”

“I spoke to some African-Americans who say, ‘Gosh, the conditions of the detention center are better than some of the projects that I grew up in,’” Duffy, who first made her name on The Real World: San Francisco in 1994, said Thursday night during an appearance on The Ingraham Angle.

Put aside, for a second, the comment itself, but when was the last time you heard a Black person say “Gosh”?

housing projects wherein there are no cages that keep one from going in and out and do have *freedom" to roam. Maybe this black person was referring to fences that may surround the housing projects or AAs who live in the housing projects can prepare food in a kitchen and can sleep in a bed in a bedroom or at least a couch.

I dunno tho.
