Critics called out Emily Compagno for showing two very different opinions on the same show.
Fox News host Emily Compagno seems to have two very different standards when it comes to dropping the f-bomb.
A new video shows her praising President Donald Trump’s “salty language” when he said Israel and Iran “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” amid reports of ceasefire violations on Tuesday.
“Looks like the f-bomb diplomacy worked,” Compagno said, noting that the ceasefire held in the hours after Trump’s comments.
But she wasn’t pleased when Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) used that same word when criticizing Trump’s decision to bomb Iran without congressional authorization.
“I’m the one that’s supposed to make the fucking decision, or at least get a vote,” Crockett said.
Compagno said she was “particularly repulsed” by Crockett, first saying she was wrong on the Constitution but then going after her language, saying she had a “pretty foul mouth… for someone that went to a tidy little all-girls Catholic school.”

Her comments on Crockett’s “pretty foul mouth” came on the same day ― and the same show ― as her praise of Trump’s “f-bomb diplomacy.”
CNN also noticed the difference.
“It seems there is a lot of pearl-clutching over at Fox whenever the swearing is done by liberals,” host Abby Phillip said on Tuesday. She showed the video evidence, then added: “But when Donald Trump does it, zero Fox given.”
