Shepard Smith Smacks Down Trump's 'Unknown Middle Easterners' Caravan Claim

Shepard Smith smacked down a claim which was floated Monday morning on Fox & Friends, and then Tweeted by President Donald Trump.

Monday afternoon on Shepard Smith Reporting, the anchor took on the baseless suggestion which was made on Fox & Friends hours earlier, and then subsequently the president, that “unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in” with the caravan of migrants en route to the U.S.-Mexico border.

“President Trump is calling the caravan a national emergency,” Smith said. “And he’s claiming criminals and unknown alleged Middle Easterners are mixed in with the crowd. An important note: Fox News knows of no evidence to suggest the president is accurate on that matter. And the president has offered no evidence to support what he has said.”
