FOX's Chavez called Kerry a "communist apologist" -- and then lied about it Four days after her nationally syndicated column calling Senator John Kerry a "communist apologist" appeared in newspapers and on The Heritage Foundation's website Townhall.com, Linda Chavez, in a May 2 interview with FOX & Friends host Mike Jerrick, claimed that she had not called Kerry a "communist apologist": HOST: But isn't it too strong to call him a communist apologist? CHAVEZ: Well, I didn't call him that actually. HOST: But others have. CHAVEZ: Others have. In her April 27 column, Chavez referred to Kerry's "role" as that of "an apologist for the communists we were fighting in Vietnam"; later in the column, she wrote, "The young Kerry seems to have fallen in the latter category, communist apologist." Linda Chavez is a FOX news analyst and syndicated columnist. In addition to Townhall.com, her columns have appeared in The New York Post, The Washington Times, The Baltimore Sun, Chicago Sun-Times, and other newspapers nationwide. ----- "I can't imagine that I'm going to be attacked for telling the truth. Why would I be attacked for telling the truth?" Paul O'Neill, 60 Minutes
