"Fox & Friends" co-host Lawrence Jones lashed out at actress Hannah Einbinder on Monday for her remarks during her Emmy acceptance speech the night before that led to her being censored on television.
Einbinder was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress for her work on the HBO Max dark comedy drama series “Hacks,” and during her acceptance speech made remarks against both Immigration Customs and Enforcement and Israel that left many in the conservative sphere furious.
Addressing her remarks on Palestine – where most of the West Bank remains under illegal Israeli occupation, and Gaza, under military siege and an aid blockade – Einbinder later said she felt it was her “obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel.”
This did not sit well with "Fox & Friends," with co-host Carley Shimkus condemning Einbinder’s remarks as “anti-ICE," and Jones had just two words to describe what he thought of the remarks.
“Trashy behavior!” Lawrence said.
The scorn for Einbinder was not limited to hosts for "Fox & Friends." A number of pro-Israel figures have lashed out at Einbinder as having “no moral compass.”
“Any Jewish actress who uses her 15 minutes of fame to show support for the terrorists holding 48 hostages in Gaza has no moral compass,” wrote Joel Petlin, superintendent of the Kiryas Joel School District in New York, in an online post on X Sunday night following Einbinder’s remarks. “And the naive Hollywood audience that applauded her immoral statement is equally reprehensible. Hannah Einbinder was a real loser at the Emmys.”
A former Israeli official also lashed out at Einbinder, including former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren, who, without naming Einbinder directly, heavily implied her to be a “Jew hater.”
“Let’s be clear: any person who refuses to recognize the right of the world’s only Jewish state to exist, who denies the right of world’s largest Jewish community to defend itself – who, on the contrary, refuses to condemn calls to eradicate that community – and who repeatedly pledges to arrest its democratically leader is, by definition, an antisemite,” Oren wrote on X Sunday night, just moments after Einbinder’s remarks.
“Such a person can meet with Jewish leaders and receive endorsements from prominent politicians, but we must be clear: that person is a Jew hater.”
