Fox News Host Publishes Book on Patriotism Ahead of America 250

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy said her new book, All American Patriotism, presents patriotism and the upcoming America 250 events through personal stories. ' But you haven't gotten a full history lesson," Campos-Duffy told the Washington Examiner. The Washington Examiner obtained an early copy of the book for review.

The stories, gathered by Fox News personalities, reflect on what America and this summer's America 250 celebrations mean. Campos-Duffy said she wanted to retell the country's story and discuss why America is great after years of curricula and culture suggesting shame.

The book includes accounts of American pride from road trips, veterans, Friday night football, and national unity after 9/11. Campos-Duffy shared her own story as a first-generation American whose grandparents came from Mexico and whose mother is an immigrant from Spain.

"My parents were always telling me, 'You are the luckiest girl. You are an American. You can do anything you want,'" she said. The book details accounts from 30 members of the Fox News family and includes a foreword by Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk.

Campos-Duffy said she hopes readers will get to know the hosts better and be inspired to see America and love the country again. She argued that the American spirit is being drowned out by divisive rhetoric online and that conversations with members of Congress pointed to social media as a cause.

"If we can't have respectful conversations inside of our family about politics, about religion, about tough topics, then we're not going to learn to have them outside of our family," Campos-Duffy said. She said the most important events around America 250 will happen in people's backyards, including family barbecues and community traditions.

All American Patriotism is available for purchase through Amazon, Walmart, and other retailers on May 19.
