Reality TeeVee personality and wife of a former member of the Congress Rachel Campos-Duffy said on Fox News Monday this morning that the Obamas are responsible for schools not reopening, because they apparently can order them open with a tweet.

“Joe Biden has been useless on this,” Campos-Duffy averred, even though the President, who has been in office just nineteen days has laid out a plan to provide funding for the reopening of school after they’re properly cleaned and sanitized.  Biden’s team has also increased the number of available vaccine doses and put in place plans to assist states with the distribution of doses, something the previous administration failed to do.

But the real twist in the statement by Campos-Duffy, the mother of nine whose husband, Sean Duffy, left Congress because the family could not afford to live in New York with the combined salaries of a Congressman and a TeeVee personality, came when she blamed former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama for the continuing school closures in Chicago.

“And there are two other people who have been useless in the face of this strong-arming by the unions,” Campos-Duffy claimed.  “and that is Michelle and Barack Obama who are the honored, y’know, most famous citizens of Chicago.”  (Fact Check:  the Obamas now live in Washington, DC, as they have since 2009.)

“With one little tweet,” Campos-Duffy falsely claims, “Michelle and Barack Obama could have stood on the side of children and families in this, in this debate.  Remember Harris [Faulkner, Fox News host], they have not been shy about stepping into politics, not just presidential politics, but Michelle Obama used her powerful platform in defense of children who came here illegally at the border, um, with the so-called cages that in fact her husband built.  [That’s a lie].”

“So, she’s not afraid to weigh in on behalf of children who aren’t American citizens, but she has done nothing on–and same with her husband, and same with Joe Biden–um, in defense of, um um, of the children of Chicago and of this country who beholden and held hostage to the unions.”

Campos-Duffy did not explain how a private citizen who has no children in the Chicago school system and who is not a resident of Chicago would influence Chicago School Board decisions on when and how to open schools.
