Fox News uses old clip of Trump after he wore hat while saluting slain US soldiers

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Fox News used old video footage of Donald Trump saluting fallen soldiers in multiple reports on Saturday and Sunday, obscuring the fact that he wore a "Trump-brand" hat during the actual ceremony on Saturday at Dover Air Force Base. The ceremony honored six US Army Reserve soldiers killed in Kuwait. Initially, Fox News did broadcast the correct video, but later aired footage from a December event where Trump saluted without a hat. This older video was shown at least three times, including on Fox & Friends, with incorrect on-screen labels stating it was from Saturday's event. The older video did not include Melania Trump, JD Vance, or Usha Vance, who were present at the Saturday ceremony. A Fox & Friends host later acknowledged the error and apologized for using the wrong footage.
