Kimmel: Fox News ‘Deeply Regret Getting Caught for the Error’ of Airing an Old Clip of Trump to ‘Clean up’ His Dignified Transfer Faux Pas

‘And of course whenever the president does something shameful, the heroes at Fox News swoop in to clean it up’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KIMMEL: “And of course whenever the president does something shameful, the heroes at Fox News swoop in to clean it up for him. Fox News covered this by using footage from a dignified transfer last year in which Trump was not wearing a hat. But the internet figured it out pretty quick. So, Fox News had to put out a statement during our coverage of yesterday’s dignified transfer, we inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday. We deeply regret the error and deeply regret getting caught for the error. But hey, these things happen, right? I’m sure CNN made that mistake. The folks at fox will be super chill about it. If any president did something that was deemed to be disrespectful, I’m sure if Obama or Biden or even vice president Kamala Harris did that, if one of them ran afoul of military protocol, I’m sure fox would look the other way on that too, right?”
