FANS are praising Fox News host Martha MacCallum for quickly shutting down a guest who interrupted her with ‘condescending’ remarks.

MacCallum, 61, was caught in a heated discussion with Teachers Union President Randi Weingarten when the guest began to interrupt her mid-sentence.

The two were discussing the Maryland parents who brought their children’s public school to court, demanding that the school remove their children from elementary school classes using storybooks with LGBTQ characters.

The books included titles such as Uncle Bobby’s Wedding and The Prince and Knight.

MacCallum was discussing the issue with Weingarten, who supported having diverse books such as the above titles in the school.

MacCallum brought up Maryland’s education rankings and began arguing that schools should focus on reading and math, not improving the diversity of the book choices.

As the host began citing Maryland’s education statistics and talking about the correlation between money and education, she was shockingly interrupted by her guest.

“Martha, sweetheart, sweetheart,” Weingarten said. 

The host was quick to clap back with an expert response that social media users are praising.

“Please don’t call me sweetheart,” MacCallum snapped back. 

The guest looked taken aback by her quick reply.

“I’m sorry, my bad,” she humbly responded.

The two continued their heated conversation for several more minutes, debating whether books featuring LGBTQ+ characters should be read aloud to students.

MacCallum pushed for principals to tell their students that they “always respect each other,” but parents should be allowed to decide what their children read.

“Kids should be able to be their full selves,” Weingarten said at the end of the interview.

MacCallum replied: “I’m honestly not concerned with them being their full selves, I’m concerned with them learning how to read and write and do math.” 

“I agree with you,” Weingarten laughed as the segment ended. 

Fans commented under a clip of the interview, calling out the guest for being “condescending” and commending the host’s quick reply.

“I’d be a bit upset if she called me sweetheart too, she came off as condescending,” one X user wrote.

Another commenter backed up the user calling Weingarten condescending.

“Good for you @marthamaccllum,” the commenter wrote.

“She is very condescending and disrespectful.”

Others praised the host for “dunking” on her guest.

“KUDOS to Martha for slam-dunking on Weingarten,” another user wrote. “Weingarten at that moment completely lost the thread.”
