Watch: Fox & Friends Claims Trump Cut Aid to ‘3 Mexican Countries’

 

How many Mexicos (Mexicoes? Mexicae?) are there, exactly? Depends on who you’re asking. If it’s Fox & Friends, the answer, apparently, is three.

On Sunday morning, as Pete Hegseth was talking about his desire that nations south of the border be best, the chyron beneath the hosts had a strange headline.

TRUMP CUTS AID TO 3 MEXICAN COUNTRIES. Just a slip of the chyron. The hosts listed which countries the chyron was referring to. Bad chryons happen. Sometimes hilariously. And when it’s Fox, trust that CNN folks and some dedicated tweeters will catch it.

Later in the show, co-host Ed Henry corrected the record regarding the number of Mexican countries.

“We apologize for the error, it never should have happened,” said Henry.
