Harris Faulkner Brushes Off Mixing Up Two Migrants When Corrected by Co-Hosts: Just ‘Another Illegal Immigrant’
Fox News host Harris Faulkner confused two illegal immigrants during Outnumbered and brushed off the mistake when she was corrected by fellow panelists in a cringeworthy moment Monday.
It all went down as the Outnumbered panel, including former White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany and co-host Emily Compagno, tackled the Democrats’ defense of deported migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a “union member” during a sit-in at the Capitol over the weekend.
“Hold on a second,” Faulkner said. “They let a guy who has been deported in 2013, come back and who’s now accused — and I agree with Emily, he ought to be accused of attempted murder for this — of choking out a guy that passed out for six seconds. And they let-
“That was the guy in Wisconsin,” Kayleigh McEnany interjected, adding, “You know, Kilmar, the one who was sent back to El Salvador.”
Faulkner had apparently confused Abrego Garcia with Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a migrant accused of strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse by the Department of Homeland Security.
Federal agents were trying to arrest Flores-Ruiz on April 18 when they were allegedly misdirected by County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, who has been arrested for obstruction.
“How could I miss it, another illegal immigrant…” Faulkner said sarcastically.

HARRIS FAULKNER: Hold on a second. They let a guy who has been deported in 2013, come back and who’s now accused — and I agree with Emily, he ought to be accused of attempted murder for this — of choking out a guy who passed out for six seconds. And they let-
KAYLEIGH MCENANY: That was the guy in Wisconsin.
EMILY COMPAGNO: Kilmar!
MCENANY: You know, Kilmar, the one who was sent back to El Salvador.
COMPAGNO: The “Maryland father.”
FAULKNER: Oh how could I miss it? Another illegal immigrant…
MCENANY: Right.
FAULKNER: Criminal behavior…
MCENANY: Exactly.
FAULKNER: My point is this: How do we get to the point where they’re willing to say those people belong in this country even if they have committed violent crimes? They are here illegally. They are basically saying they are more important than American citizens. And by the way, I love the pulling together of faith. Judaism and Christianity in this group, that’s a beautiful thing. Not only should they have been talking about the hostages in that moment, but what about all of those Jewish students. This is the very crowd — not the guy holding the mic, maybe — but the rest of them that has been so silent for what we have seen with Jewish hate on these campuses. This is the height of hypocrisy. If anybody thinks this song fixes it, they are sadly mistaken..
Prior to his being sent to an El Salvadoran prison, Abrego Garcia had not been convicted of — or even charged with — any crime.
