Fox Hosts Denounce Ms. Rachel’s Preschool Appearance With NYC Mayor Over Childcare Push

Conservative commentary recasts the singalong as ideological indoctrination that turns a policy showcase into a culture-war flashpoint.

Overview

  • Ms. Rachel joined Mayor Zohran Mamdani at a Lower Manhattan pre-K to sing and promote the city’s '2 Care' plan for free childcare for two-year-olds.
  • On Fox’s The Big Weekend Show, Tomi Lahren called the educator creepy under a chyron that read 'Indoctrinating the Youth.'
  • Contributor Nicole Saphier said she would assume Ms. Rachel is antisemitic because she appeared with Mamdani, whom she labeled antisemitic.
  • Co-host Guy Benson claimed Ms. Rachel made her persona about hating Israel and apologizing for Hamas, referencing her past posts about Palestinian children.
  • Right-leaning outlets used the pairing to attack the childcare initiative and highlight Ms. Rachel’s large platform and prior controversies, with no new substantiation of antisemitism.
