Former Marine and Fox News host Joey Jones reacted to recent polls indicating a significant drop in American patriotism. Jones, a double amputee, who lost his legs during the war in Afghanistan, appeared on a special edition of “Fox & Friends Weekend” from West Point, New York.
“Listen, be the most judicious person you can. You have a group on the left, progressives, and their idea of nationalism, their idea of Americanism is rooted in grievance,” Jones said via Fox News Digital. “And you have a group on the right, conservatives, and their ideas are rooted in responsibility.”
Jones said covering stories like the one in West Point over the weekend which shows dedicated Americans accomplishing wonderful things can begin the healing process.
“People like us telling the appropriate story, coming to West Point, a living, breathing museum of memorial of what it takes to fight for those freedoms and have them,” said Jones. “People like us sitting here and bragging on the amazing history and trajectory of this country.”
Jones reminded viewers that America allows for differences of opinions like the ones espoused by cable news shows across the country.
