Filling in for regular Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt, Campos-Duffy repeatedly claimed that Russia’s “red line” was the possibility of Ukraine becoming a member of NATO, suggesting that the U.S. had brought this upon Ukraine by considering expanding the alliance.
“If you look at that map and the areas that have say could end up in a peace agreement, that’s true,” she declared. “That’s why we should have never provoked them. They made very clear there was a red line. The red line was a neutrality for Ukraine. That they could not enter NATO.”
Moments later, she once again placed the blame on the U.S. and Ukraine for Russia launching a bloody and violent war on its independent neighbor. But this time, a visibly exasperated Kilmeade could not hold his tongue.
While Kilmeade said the main problem is “Vladimir Putin,” Campos-Duffy continued to point the finger at the Biden administration.
“Actually, the main problem is still China,” she proclaimed. “Now we have created a bigger block, China and Russia together. This is why our policymakers aren’t thinking long-term. Provoking this war has brought our two enemies closer together.”
“We did not provoke the war,” an irritated Kilmeade shot back. “They provoked war.”
The former reality TV star-turned-pundit repeated that Russia “had a red line,” prompting her Fox News colleague to retort: “They can’t make a red line in other countries, Rachel! It’s not up to them to make a red line in other countries!”
With Campos-Duffy insisting this was just a “fate of geography,” Kilmeade fired back that Russia was upset “they lost their stooge in an election” and have since attempted to take back Ukraine.

““We did not provoke the war,” an irritated Kilmeade shot back. “They provoked war.””
I like Brian, I really do, but his Fox employer is irritating.
The expansion of NATO has been a primary issue and the US pushes it.
Didn’t Obama tell Iranians not to cross a red line in Syria? And then he kept moving it every time they crossed it?
MSN “News” story:
“A news reader disagrees with another news reader...”
So if a bully demands your lunch money, and you refuse, you’ve “provoked” him?<p
Kilmeade is right. Refusing unreasonable demands is not provocation.
I don’t!
And who is he calling a ‘stooge’
America is in a very dangerous position when the official narrative can not be questioned or even discussed. Not just with Ukraine. We’re talking about Covid, vaccines, 2020 election, etc.
Very scary times in America. Our 1st Amendment is hanging on by a thread.
I don’t watch this crap for just these reasons n
Whereas I agree we didn’t provoke the war it’s not his job to promote a given view. (As opposed to asking questions about their contention).
Or maybe it is.
Rachael deserves better than FOX news. People that work for them are not allowed any kind of free expression. Tucker gets some leeway because he is their big money maker, but not enough.
I kind of wish he would leave FOX in the tail lights and be able to express himself freely. He looks quite miserable.
Dr. Steve Turley on YouTube called Sean Hannity and Mark Levin woke Republicans for repeating the neocon/establishment rhetoric on the war.
““They can’t make a red line in other countries, Rachel! It’s not up to them to make a red line in other countries!””
Idiotic. We do it all the time. We did it in Syria. We do it all over the world.
“The former reality TV star-turned-pundit repeated that Russia “had a red line,” prompting her Fox News colleague to retort: “They can’t make a red line in other countries, Rachel! It’s not up to them to make a red line in other countries!””
The Soviets did during the Cold War, in Finland and Austria. And we respected it.
We did the same in the Western Hemisphere, explicitly in Cuba (which the Soviets tested, but ultimately respected), and implicitly elsewhere. We also did the same in Syria, but then didn’t honor it.
Bummer that those pushing WW3 like Kilmeade cannot have a CIVILIZED conversation about the situation there.
“They can’t make a red line in other countries, Rachel! It’s not up to them to make a red line in other countries!”
Cuban missile crisis with Russian advisors and nukes on Cuba leading to an American interception of Russian ships headed there. Smells like a red line in another country to me, Brian.
Avoid Murdochs at all costs. Globalist swine
Why didn’t he just ask him, “How do you figure that?” and then ask for corroborated evidence?
Oh, wait. That’s what a REAL journalist would do.
What stooge. Is he now not a fan of Trump.. Because russia and china helped get there stooge in office. I think they may both own him. They are now collecting what was possibly promised. Who else has approved the Russian pipeline. And shut ours down and no matter what will not open it back up. They think we will continue to buy that opening ours won’t help. They need something else to happen now. Soon the ukraine war won’t be enough to distract most people that are believing Putin is the problem..
I am calling it now, Rachel will one day be FLOTUS.
Not guilty . . . Slap me! . . . Guilty!
