Fox News admitted to showing an old clip of President Donald Trump at a dignified transfer — one that did not show him in a white baseball cap with “USA” written on it. On Saturday, Trump attended the dignified transfer of six U.S. military members who were killed in the war with Iran. His choice to wear a white baseball cap at the transfer was called “shocking” and “disgraceful,” and Trump was accused of having “no sense of dignity.” Fox News acknowledged the “mistake” during Sunday’s episode of “Fox and Friends.” “We inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday,” “Fox and Friends Weekend” co-host Griff Jenkins said. “We deeply regret the error and extend our respected condolences to the service members’ families.” In a statement to HuffPost, a Fox News Media spokesperson said they regret the error. “FOX News Media programs inadvertently aired file footage from a previous dignified transfer while discussing yesterday’s ceremony at Dover Air Force Base,” the statement said. “The archival footage was mistakenly used during the video sourcing process. We regret the error and apologize for the incorrect footage.” By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
