The hosts of Fox News' Outnumbered
on Friday criticized actress Jennifer Lawrence for saying that she's
embarrassed by Kim Davis.
Davis is the Kentucky county clerk who
is fighting to keep her office from issuing marriage licenses to gay
and lesbian couples.
In an interview with Vogue,
Lawrence, who is best known for playing heroine Katniss Everdeen in
the Hunger Games film franchise, referred to Davis as the
“lady who makes me embarrassed to be from Kentucky.”
“Don't even say her name in this
house,” the
25-year-old Lawrence said. “All those people holding their
crucifixes, which may as well be pitchforks, thinking they're
fighting the good fight. I grew up in Kentucky. I know how they
are.”
“I just can't imagine supporting a
party that doesn't support women's basic rights,” Lawrence, who was
raised Republican, said of the GOP's stance on social issues. “It's
2015 and gay people can get married and we think that we've come so
far, so, yay! But have we? I don't want to stay quiet about that
stuff.”
Co-host Andrea Tantaros said that she
was “embarrassed … to listen to a female spout some idiocy,”
and later added that “these are pretty dumb remarks.”
Stephen Hayes, the only male on the
panel, offered some advice: “If you don't have anything intelligent
to say, you're better off remaining quiet.”
“And she has the right to sound like
an idiot, I guess,” Tantaros added.
When Julie Roginsky chimed in by saying
that she doesn't care what Hollywood actor George Clooney has to say,
Harris Faulkner responded that he “looks good, though.” “He
looks good saying it, but you know what? Let's stop paying attention
to them,” Roginsky
replied.
“She looks okay,” Hayes said with a
grin.
