Scoring points: Fox reduces general’s murder to ‘a touchdown for the Taliban’ to slam Obama

The hosts of Fox & Friends on Wednesday politicized the death of an Army general as a “touchdown for the Taliban” so they could score some points against President Barack Obama.

“We had terrible news yesterday,” Fox News host Steve Doocy announced on Wednesday. “A Two Star General, Major General Harold Greene, was murdered at the military academy for Afghanistan training Afghanis to take over their own security.”

After playing a clip of Fox News White House Correspondent Ed Henry challenging White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest on the administration’s claim that progress was being made in Afghanistan, the camera returned to Doocy.

“Well, this is a huge touchdown for the Taliban,” Doocy opined.
