CNN Credits Fox With Inspiring Trump’s Opposition to Omar

Judging by his tweets, President Donald Trump’s views about freshman congresswomen like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been shaped partly by the severely critical things he has heard on Fox News.

Second, the freshmen have been getting more attention on cable than seasoned leaders of the Democratic Party.

Trump’s week-long criticism of the “The Squad,” including his “go back” tweet, has intensified these dynamics.
