Just a tad delusional.

Via Politico:

Fox News is accusing NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell of tying Republican opposition to Susan Rice to race and gender.

On this morning’s episode of “Fox & Friends,” co-host Brian Kilmeade said it was “totally out of bounds” for Mitchell to bring up “the gender factor and the race factor.” Then, in an unsigned article on FoxNews.com, the website’s editors said Mitchell had turned Rice’s “withdrawal from the secretary of state-stakes into a racial issue.”

In her comments yesterday, Mitchell cited the political ramifications for the GOP following Rice’s withdrawal. “This is not going to help Republicans at all, the fact that a woman and a woman of color has been forced out of a confirmation process even before she was nominated,” Mitchell said. […]

Mitchell responds:

This POLITICO post as well as the Fox & Friends comment is so out of context I honestly don’t know how to respond to it. It ignores my reporting on all of the political ramifications as well as the sources I cite. I categorically reject Dylan Byers conclusion that over a 40-year career I am associated with any point of view and stand on my reputation.
