American TV Presenter on the Spot for Claiming Pregnant Kenyan Women Do Not Have Voting Rights

American TV presenter Emily Rose Compagno has angered Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) after claiming that pregnant women in Kenya do not have voting rights.

Compagno made the comment while giving her views about women’s voting rights on the “Outnumbered” show on FOX News TV which she co-hosts. 

She noted that celebrities in the US should stop complaining about Americans having limited voting rights, arguing that it is worse in countries like Kenya where she claimed that expectant mothers are not allowed to get out of their houses.

“The insularity of these celebrities is so asinine … it’s so nauseating because these comments are totally delusional, that we have less voting rights here,” Compagno remarked.

She continued: “What about in Kenya, where pregnant women can’t leave the house so they absolutely have no constructive right to vote, or in Oman, where women have to vote as their husbands do or risk death.”

Her comments rubbed up Kenyans online the wrong way, and are now demanding that she withdraws and apologizes to Kenyans for her false statement.

@ElijahRottok tweeted: “Dear @FoxNews I am appalled at the insinuation by this panelist on your show that pregnant women in Kenya don't have voting rights. This is not true and unfortunate.”

@paulinenjoroge wrote: “😳 @FoxNews!
What is this? What is @EmilyCompagno saying? That in Kenya pregnant women can’t leave the house so they have no right to vote? What does she imagine our country is like? That statement is incorrect, misleading, condescending, and should be withdrawn.”

@EstherPassaris said: “@EmilyCompagno Pregnant women in Kenya are allowed to leave the house. Pregnant women in Kenya can vote. Pregnant women get priority on voting lines. Pregnant women do give birth free of charge under the government #lindamama program. Retract your statement.”

@KenMureithi quipped: “@FoxNews selling fake News about Kenya. The level of ignorance in the US is worse than I thought it was.”

Wow, talk about fake news.... and ignorance. But the greater number of fox news viewers will buy into it.

These barely dressed,naked, entitled bitches who have no regard for other races.Just to remind her that in Kenya the Chief Justice and the deputy are women and the court has 3 out of 7 Justices unlike in US where one woman made headlines as historical. Americans are the most starved people of news worldwide. They are held hostage by the government through the mainstream media. No wonder they have resulted to mauling each other with guns daily.

Emily perhaps carry a damn gun to that fox studio daily because of fear of living in America.

Our women in kenya move freely without fear of anything. They also feed well when they are pregnant not to bear maggot kids like Emily.

Ignorance is just a silly thing. She has nothing significant in her brains as pretty as she appears to be.

She is Just a dummy vessel sounding false statements on TV. Most likely she has never been out of the State she was born.

The American education simply needs a lot fine tuning.

Does Emily look like she has any academic depth? She is a shallow as shallow can get. Her statement about Kenya’s pregnant women were out of taste and demeaning.

These are the same folks who attack their Congress in the last crazy American elections. Go figure aa ignorant country dummy talking of a country she does not know where it’s located on the map.

Emily is as foreign as many foreigners in America. Her apparance says it all.

She is just trying to shed that Tag to appear ignorantly sophisticated! It’s like domesticating a hyena to live with house dogs.

Why are we acting like we are so protective about our cherished values and rights,when spousal abuse is rampant in the country,and hardly any presenter notices? If a Kenyan presenter had spread the same falsehood in Kenya would it elicit the same reaction?Or is it worse when a foreigner says it?
I hardly doubt if the presenter even believes what she said.It was just done for shock value unfortunately at the cost of misinformation about Kenya. Iam not saying that what she did is right,but let's not overreact.

Ok @maxiley, why don’t you go marry her since you are the one with a heavy appetite for Mexican piglets? Why have you not said anything about the Luhya wife beating when you see it happen? Are you not the one often demeaning women here telling them how you gonna screw them? Stop your Devil advocating here. Chenzi wewe.

Y’all leave @maxiley alone. He is just an advocate of the Devil. He is defending what he likes to “eat”; the Chicano chics!

He is traitor by colonial masters standard. His kins probably betrayed a lot Kenyans during the British colonial era and now his family owns all the land in Kitale, while those who fought for independence have no land to farm. Isn’t life a bitch?

Kenyans getting worked on some bimbo, have some self-esteem folks, when they go low, go high, simple. Black people you need to understand when you react you give the oppressors power, if ignored, they fade away. In American culture, you just gave her mileage, she will be more celebrated and earn higher dollars while KOT still lives in a one-sitter in Kilimani. Fight battles that are worth it!

Wish so called KOT would react/demonstrate against all the corruption going on in the country with the same vigor. Not that I concur with this bitch Emily but sorry to burst your bubble. That's how they see us. Y'all can yell, scream and holla but you can't change some wicked ideas ingrained into some of these American skulls since they were toddlers around their kitchen tables. They know they are privileged, they don't give a F

Well said @yournamewhatmacallit! Full stop! But this Wmily just happened to fall on some bread scrams under the table! She ain’t American American unless she is a Native Indian!

I am pretty sure she has no idea what continent Kenya is in and if you gave her a blank African map, she wouldn't be able to pinpoint its location. SAD

Emily asked the other day if Kenya was in the poorest State of Mississippi or a town Columbia South America.

Geography was never taught in her elementary school. She can’t read a map because she is Google wired and she talks through Microsoft hardware. She doesn’t have to possess brains when tools tell her what to say.

Technology has produced a lot of dummies in America.

Brains not require in American media. Only beauty and make up plus fake implants. Filling TV with as much lust as possible

Nawaoo! Which beauty are you talking @simamaimara?

Having a lot of Botox pumped in two small breasts, buying grueling facial surgeries with a butcher knife and wearing excessive mud make up dumped in the face is not beauty. She probably got shots of Botox done in her butt chicks too!

These painful medical art procedures makes Emily bitter with our fine looking pregnant sisters all over Africa. Our women are naturally beautiful with good genetics.

Compagno has really betrayed the education system in America. The level of ignorance in her small brains is quite amazing. The system needs a lot BOTOX to rejuvenate. Period!
