The day after President Donald Trump spoke at a campaign rally in Cincinnati, Fox News’ Fox & Friends touted the president’s “connections to Ohio” by mentioning the city’s former Swifton Village housing complex, which was once owned by his father and which Trump helped manage. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said Trump’s time working at the complex made him familiar with culinary staples of Ohio, but no one mentioned that this apartment complex was the subject of a 1970 lawsuit for racial discrimination under the federal Fair Housing Act.

According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, Fred Trump was sued in 1970 for housing discrimination at Swifton Village by an African American applicant who was “told there were no vacancies” at the majority-white complex, located in a majority-white neighborhood. However, a white couple who applied for an apartment around the same time did find a vacancy. The Trumps settled the lawsuit by giving the plaintiff an apartment but without admitting discrimination.

Fox & Friends has an established pattern of ignoring or downplaying inconvenient facts about Trump’s business career: In February, the hosts invited Eric Trump on the show and failed to ask him about reports that the Trump Organization had recently started purging undocumented workers from its golf courses in New York and New Jersey; in May, co-host Brian Kilmeade downplayed revelations that Trump had lost $1.17 billion in a decade by defending the president’s “bold” business practices; and the show complained last year that a bombshell New York Times article about Trump’s apparent tax evasion was simply “bashing his dad who’s been dead for a very long time.”
