Colorado Rep Fact-Checks Fox News Anchor On-Air Over Venezuela Drug Death Claims: ‘That’s Not True’ | Video
Jason Crow, a Colorado representative, called out Fox News host Martha MacCallum after she inaccurately blamed Venezuela for a majority of the drug-related deaths in the United States.
On Monday, the Fox News anchor stated that around 100,000 people will die from a drug overdose in the U.S., and noted that most of the drugs causing these deaths were from Venezuela. However, Rep. Crow (D-Colo.) quickly fact checked MacCallum’s remark, clarifying it was far from the truth.
“That’s actually not true,” Crow said.
