Fox Guest Slams Brokaw Remarks: ‘If Being a Latina on Fox News Isn’t Assimilation, I Don’t Know What Is’

‘He was speaking as if he was a journalist who had done some research’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KURTZ: “Joining me, Cathy areu. Are you offended by Tom Brokaw saying hispanics should work harder at assimilation and their kids should speak good English. This was kind of overlooked.”

AREU: “Offended as a journalist. Because it wasn’t accurate. It wasn’t true. This is an op-ed he was giving. He was speaking as if he was a journalist who had done some research. And it’s purely his opinion and he’s incorrect. My parents are I aments and if being a Latina on television isn’t assimilation, I don’t know what is. Howie: He says he covered hispanics in society going back to Cesar Chavez. Why is it so radioactive going back to 1900.”
