Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner literally employed the Just Asking Questions trope on Tuesday to openly speculate whether Barack Obama is “antisemitic” because the former president praised Harvard for rejecting the Trump administration’s “ham-handed” effort to regulate the university.
Faulkner’s suggestion that the 44th president could be an anti-Semite comes as Donald Trump continues to escalate his war against Harvard and other elite universities over his administration’s claims that they are hotbeds of antisemitism due to campus demonstrations — which included hundreds of Jewish students — protesting the war in Gaza.
