As the fight continues to bring back over 200 kidnapped Nigerian school girl, kidnapped by extreme Islamist militants, Fox News felt it was the appropriate time to bash those who are using the #BringBackOur Girls hash-tag to raise awareness.
The ‘Fox News Sunday’ morning broadcast crew, taunted the efforts of users on twitter, including The FLOTUS, Mrs. Obama, with the global hash-tag #BringBackOurGirls this Sunday. George Will, Brit Hume, and others mocked the “hashtag activism” pushed globally, in hopes of the return of the hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram, in Nigeria.
“Exactly that,” George Will said. “It’s an exerise in self-esteem. I do not know how adults stand there, facing a camera, and say, ‘Bring back our girls.’ Are these barbarians in the wilds of Nigeria supposed to check their Twitter accounts and say, ‘Uh oh, Michelle Obama is very cross with us, we better change our behavior’?”
Brit Hume followed, “It’s trending! It’s trending on Twitter!”
, then the they all laughed. One of their anchor women, Julie pointed out that although what they consider to be a useless ecersice in self esteem, #BringBackOurGirls has raised global social awareness, putting pressure on the Nigerian government to bring back the kidnapped school girls.

They’re absolutely right. Michelle Obama standing there with a stupid duckface asking to bring back our girls? Hello why don’t you ask your husband! Every other celebrity doing it is just for good PR and nothing else. I don’t see these celebrities really going out of there way to help and having a stupid sign trend on twitter is not saving the lives of 100’s of young girls.
