Rachel-Campos Duffy rips Obama for criticizing Hispanics who voted for Trump
Former President Obama criticized Evangelical Hispanics who voted for Trump; Fox News contributors Sean Duffy and Rachel-Campos Duffy weigh in.
Longtime White House correspondent April Ryan gushed over former President Obama during their interview about his memoir on Monday, praising his "brilliance" and calling him one of her "fondest memories" as a reporter.
"You cannot work in that special, unique place and not have memories, and you are one of my fondest memories, and I thank you," she said on Instagram.
Ryan, a reporter for American Urban Radio Networks and a CNN analyst, told Obama she "loved" his book "A Promised Land," calling it "amazing" and "wonderful." She also told Obama he was "so strong," and when he anticipated a question about the possibility of a female president, Ryan said, "You in your brilliance always knew where I was going."
As their interview concluded, Ryan expressed hope she would make a cameo in the second volume of the memoir and giggled when Obama said that could happen.

It's in marked contrast to her coverage of the Trump White House, where she has asked President Trump whether he was a racist or thought slavery was wrong. She also accused him of fomenting a race war in the United States, and her pinned tweet thread on her Twitter page explains why she does not show "objectivity" in covering the current administration.
Obama's stop on Ryan's Instagram was part of a lengthy book tour to promote his third memoir, a lengthy read at 751 pages. It covers his political career up through the successful raid to kill 9/11 mastermind Usama bin Laden in 2011.
