Fox News host Pete Hegseth tried to attack President Barack Obama’s economic record over the weekend, but it didn’t go as planned.
“Democrats want to talk about health care. They don’t want to talk about immigration. They can’t talk about the economy,” Hegseth said on “Fox and Friends” on Saturday. “I mean Barack Obama is trying to say he rebuilt the economy.”
That’s when cohost Ed Henry stepped in with a fact-check.
“You’ve read the numbers, I’m sure,” Henry said. “Barack Obama created more jobs in his final 21 months than President [Donald] Trump has created in his first 21.”
