Fox News reporter puts MSNBC hosts in their place for mocking voters worried about border crisis: 'Laugh ... at your own risk'



Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin schooled three MSNBC hosts on Wednesday for mocking voters who are concerned about immigration and the border crisis.

Exit polls conducted on Super Tuesday showed that immigration is the top concern for Republican voters in Virginia. In fact, it is a top issue for voters nationwide, even surpassing the economy in some exit polls. This is not breaking news unless you live under a rock because the border crisis has been a national story for years. But that didn't stop MSNBC hosts Jen Psaki, Rachel Maddow, and Joy Reid from ridiculing these voters over their concerns.

During MSNBC's election-night coverage, Psaki read the exit poll data, Reid laughed, and Maddow outright mocked the voters.

"If you look at some of these exit polls — I mean, I live in Virginia — immigration was the number one issue," Psaki said to Reid's laughter.

"Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia. Very contested area," Maddow mocked.

"But you're thinking like: WHAT?!" Psaki added.

At first, Melugin responded to the trio of MSNBC hosts by pointing to the recent arrest of an illegal immigrant who is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Virginia.

"Two weeks ago, in Virginia, an illegal alien from Venezuela was arrested & charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Campbell County, VA. He had crossed illegally into El Paso, TX, in September 2023 and was released into the U.S. by the federal government," he wrote on social media.

Then Melugin explained on "Fox and Friends" why the MSNBC hosts' reaction demonstrates how out of touch they are with normal Americans.

"Talk about out of touch— listening to them giggle and laugh and joke," Melugin said.

"We've been down there the last three years, and we've watched as this issue has taken over the entire country. It's no longer just Arizona, California, Texas, New Mexico — look what's happened to the sanctuary cities," he explained. "Look what's happened ever since Gov. [Greg] Abbott started busing [migrants] around the country. Ask Laken Riley's parents if the border and immigration is something to giggle about. It just shows a massive, massive out-of-touch moment."

After noting that exit polls prove immigration is a top issue, Melugin issued a warning to the naysayers.

"Laugh at it at your own risk. The voters will have their say in November," he said.

MSNBC's @jrpsaki @Maddow laugh at and mock Virginia voters for caring about border crisis, where just a few weeks ago an illegal alien released by Biden administration was arrested for raping a 14-year-old girl. @BillMelugin_ @kilmeade @SteveDoocy @ainsleyearhardt react: pic.twitter.com/YdrLhIFIVG

Soros-backed LA DA went easy on man accused of violent crime, and now he's accused of murdering his neighbor



Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is facing renewed criticism after his office refused to imprison a man accused of attempted murder and he went on to allegedly murder his neighbor later.

31-year-old Stefen Sutherland allegedly slashed a construction worker's neck in November 2020 after a noise complaint and was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, according to law enforcement sources.

Gascón's office opted for a mental health diversion for Sutherland rather than the prison time recommended by a probation official who wanted to avoid the possibility of further violence.

Sutherland is accused of shooting Jennifer Gomez to death on May 23 over a noise complaint, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation. She was shot 19 times in her home.

Gascón's office released a statement about the case.

"The defendant in this case met the specific eligibility criteria for mental health diversion. A court-appointed psychologist deemed him suitable for the treatment program, and our deputy district attorney agreed to the defense request for mental health diversion," read a statement from a Gascón spokesperson.

"The court approved the treatment plan and deemed the defendant safe for community treatment. The defendant participated for nearly two years in [the] treatment program without issue," the statement continued. "We are saddened by the most recent allegations, and our hearts go out to the victim and those who loved them."

Gascón has been heavily criticized for being soft on crime in order ostensibly to avoid high rates of imprisonment. He has defeated two recall attempts.

Sutherland is being held on a $2 million bail and is due back in court on June 12.

The family of Jennifer Gomez has a GoFundMe account to help pay for her funeral costs.

Here's more about the case:
