Opinion by Erik Wemple: Fox News is your HQ for post-Uvalde thoughts and prayers
Rachel Campos-Duffy, another Fox News host, said during another segment, “We took God out of schools and we wonder how this evil comes in. We’ve left a vacuum there. ... There’s a lot to be done, but we can start with God.”
