Watch 'Fox & Friends' Hosts Realize They Really Got the Wrong Guest to Talk About ICE
“FOX & Friends First” viewers—including perhaps President Donald Trump—got an unexpected earful Monday morning after the show mistakenly booked a Massachusetts state senator who railed against the administration’s “illegal and inhumane” immigration policy.
Co-hosts Rob Schmitt and Jillian Mele believed they would be speaking to pro-ICE Arizona Democratic candidate Ann Kirkpatrick. They teed up the interview with a clip of her getting booed at a debate with other candidates for the the state’s 2nd Congressional District after she declared her support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Unfortunately for the hosts, the guest was actually a different Democrat—Mass. state Sen. Barbara L’Italien.
Watch the full exchange below:
“I’m actually here to speak directly to Donald Trump. I feel that what’s happening at the border is wrong. I’m a mother of four, and I believe that separating kids from their parents is illegal and inhumane. I’m actually Barbara L’Italien, I’m a state senator representing a large immigrant community and running for Congress in Massachusetts,” she said.
The hosts referred to her as Kirkpatrick even after she identified herself as L’Italien.
