Citation From the June 10, 2023, edition of Fox News' Fox and Friends Saturday RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY (FOX HOST): Good morning. I think we're all a little -- listen, it's been a huge week. I think a really sad week for our country, especially because we keep talking about, you know, democracy and saving democracy, and this has been the death of democracy in so many ways.
