Signed the petition!
Let's see if the fairly unbalanced network does anything about it.
‎So Rove is on Fox News running off a bunch of numbers about Ohio counties...Megan Kelly looks at him and asks " Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better, or is this real" OMG LOL

These comments by Ms. Trotta (a Fox News "contributor") are troubling and unacceptable.

I watch Fox often and this is the first time I have seen her on the network ... and I hope it is the last time.

Oh good grief. What a horrible thing to say. Even if she misspoke originally, (saying Osama when she meant Obama), she should have immediately apologized. Instead, she laughed. What a horrid woman. I hope never to see her again.
When illusion spin her net, I'm never where I want to be. And liberty, she pirouette, when I think that I am free.

That anyone could "joke" privately or publically about the assassination of anyone in office and/or running for office in the United States is totally inappropriate and unacceptable.

they wanted 2000 signatures, right now it's at 2298.

if this wasn't memorial day weekend, i think it might have received more coverage.

It's at 3614 now. I don't think this issue will go away and many more people will sign during the upcoming week. Her comments were absolutely unacceptable.
