‘Fox & Friends’ Host Says Trump Deserves Nobel Peace Prize After Zelensky Spat
The Fox star who thinks the Oval Office meltdown should be celebrated is married to one of Trump’s cabinet secretaries.
Hosts of Fox News’s flagship weekend show Fox & Friends suggested on Saturday that the president’s diplomatic dumpster fire of a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should earn him the world’s most coveted award for service to humanity.
“We have a president who’s willing to do anything to bring about world peace,” said co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is married to Sean Duffy, Trump’s secretary of Transportation. “Man, if he doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize after this, that thing means nothing.”
Her comments came after a fractious meeting at the White House on Friday in which President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Zelensky for allegedly failing to express thanks for the United States’ support during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
While playing clips from the summit, the team erupted in laughter at footage of the Ukrainian ambassador holding her head in her hands in the Oval Office as tension continued to mount between Trump and Zelensky.
Co-host Peter Doocy insisted that Trump had made viable proposals to his Ukrainian counterpart on how to resolve the conflict and that Zelensky would, therefore, be responsible for any further bloodshed.
“[Trump] was giving Zelensky an offering. If you don’t take it, the war continues,” as Doocy put it.
Campos-Duffy further railed against Zelensky for embodying what she described as “the whole ungrateful European attitude.” She then lambasted the Ukrainian president for his supposed “sense of entitlement, a sense that America’s always going to be there to hand out money and protect them and fix things.”
Doocy agreed, noting that the overwhelming support from fellow leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was “meaningless” because, in the absence of assistance from the United States, there would be “a Russian flag flying over Zelensky’s house.”
