Fox & Friends attacks Miamis history-making black woman cop because she could be a flag-hating MuslimElisabeth Hasselbeck and the hosts of Fox & Friends suggested on Monday that they had a right to know if the first black woman to be appointed Assistant Chief of Police in Miami was a Muslim who hated America because she stood at attention during the Pledge of Allegiance instead of placing her hand over her heart.
In a letter last week, Miami Fraternal Order of Police President Sgt. Javier Ortiz demanded that Assistant Chief Anita Najiy be reprimanded and removed from her position as honor guard commander. According to Ortiz, Najiy did not place her hand over her heart during the Pledge of Allegiance to make a political statement.
Ortiz posted a video of Najiy on the police unions YouTube channel, which showed her standing at attention as other officers placed their hands over their hearts.
However, Police Maj. Delrish Moss told The Miami Herald that Najiy was simply following military protocol, which states that one should stand at attention, remain silent, and face the flag when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance indoors.

(203 posts)Does NOT holding your hand over your heart constitute firing the woman as the FOP person suggests? Just a cursory look at this woman shows that she cares for her community and does what it takes to get the job done. Might even be why they promoted her.
I think there are personal issues around the FOP person who took the video.
But Faux News loves the chance to all anyone a muslim so they can start the rabid frothing-at-the-mouth-conservative haters to leave the woman nasty calls/letters.
Faux News again proves why they are pieces of shit. It is getting so old to hear the same out crap spewing from their mouths. Seriously all they do is just "plug-in" another person to their rehearsed negative conservative rhetoric.
