Fox News Covers Video of Lefty Mob Assaulting TPUSA Reporter

At one point, she was even pushed to the ground by a large man. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt recalled: She was there talking to people on the street -- they found out she worked for Turning Point -- she was there like an anti-ICE rally or something out on the street, anti-ICE group -- and they found out she works for Turning Point, and this is what happened. They pushed her, shoved her to the ground, and assaulted her. Then came a video clip of Hernandez being surrounded and harassed. As co-host Lawrence Jones jumped in, disturbing video was shown of the conservative reporter being pushed to the ground: Fox Shows Video of Lefty Protesters Assaulting TPUSA Reporter pic.twitter.com/WglOQE2h0I — Brad Wilmouth (@bradwilmouth) April 16, 2026 LAWRENCE JONES: So after you'll see a grown man -- as you said, Ainsley, some two hundred and something pounds -- that assaulted her as well. And then I look at this video of the woman that hit her. She got released from the jail yesterday. She says that -- (clip of man shoving Hernandez to the ground is shown) -- the man was defending her. Excuse me, look at this video. A man should never hit a woman. Co-host Brian Kilmeade then informed viewers that the FBI is moving to prosecute three of the agitators who attacked Hernandez: BRIAN KILMEADE: So the attorney -- the assistant attorney general, Harmeet Dhillon, is going to look into this -- the FBI is investigating this. We know exactly who they are because she was courageous enough to keep the camera rolling. JONES: Look at that -- he spit on her. KILMEADE: And the thing is, this is -- these people are unhinged apparently. If you are so proud of the mission you're on and the quest that you've signed up for, tell everybody. This is your opportunity. Tell everybody. Look at that guy. A clip of the TPUSA reporter, who appeared on Monday's The Ingraham Angle, was then shown getting emotional as she recounted what happened to her: I wasn't engaging with anybody. I was -- and I apologize. This is the first time I'm talking about this assault, and I -- I'm scared to report, Laura. This is my job -- it's what I've been doing for the last six years, and I'm terrified to do my job. I can't even interview people properly on the street because I got brutally assaulted and pushed to the ground by a 250-pound man for simply going and reporting on anti-ICE activities. On Wednesday, the show followed up by noting that Vice President JD Vance speaking out and promising that the FBI will prosecute those responsible. Transcript follows: Fox Friends April 14, 2026 6:17 a.m. Eastern LAWRENCE JONES: Meanwhile, Ainsley, what's going on in Minnesota? AINSLEY EARHARDT: So, in Minnesota there was -- there's a Turning Point reporter, and she's a darling -- her name is Savanah Hernandez. She was there talking to people on the street -- they found out she worked for Turning Point -- she was there like an anti-ICE rally or something out on the street, anti-ICE group -- and they found out she works for Turning Point, and this is what happened. They pushed her, shoved her to the ground, and assaulted her. Listen.

This is your opportunity. Tell everybody. Look at that guy. I mean, can you imagine -- EARHARDT: She is pressing charges. She was on last night with Laura (Ingraham), and she said, I am pressing charges. Good for her -- she should. These people need to be held accountable. Here's a little bit of that interview with Laura. SAVANAH HERNANDEZ, TPUSA REPORTER: I wasn't engaging with anybody. I was -- and I apologize. This is the first time I'm talking about this assault, and I -- I'm scared to report, Laura. This is my job -- it's what I've been doing for the last six years, and I'm terrified to do my job. I can't even interview people properly on the street because I got brutally assaulted and pushed to the ground by a 250-pound man for simply going and reporting on anti-ICE activities. I made a point not to engage, Laura, because I know the left wing is violent. They assassinated Charlie Kirk last year, and now they're coming for each and every Turning Point USA employee because they know they can get away with it because the local jurisdictions aren't going to charge them. Now, luckily, the sheriffs are planning on bringing forth charges, I hope.
