Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade Fact-Checked On-Air Over Former Congressman’s Joke

Brian Kilmeade mistakenly cited a tweet from ex-Rep. Bob Good during a live segment, unaware Good is no longer in office.

Brian Kilmeade of Fox News misreported that former Rep. Bob Good would not vote for Speaker Mike Johnson, failing to realize Good is no longer a congressman.
Good, who lost his seat in a GOP primary last year, had posted a joking tweet about not supporting Johnson in the speaker vote.
Rep. Jim Jordan corrected Kilmeade live on-air, pointing out that Good had been replaced by Rep. John McGuire.
Kilmeade acknowledged his mistake during the broadcast, admitting he should not have referenced Good's tweet.
The incident drew mockery online, with critics questioning the professionalism of Fox News and its handling of basic facts.
