President-elect Donald Trump and his allies in Congress have blamed the deadly New Orleans truck attack on President Joe Biden's border policies even though the attacker was a U.S. citizen.
"The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before," he wrote.
"Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department."
The network walked back its reporting later Wednesday, but not before Trump and some of his allies echoed it.
Later Wednesday, Fox News quoted Trump's Truth Social posted and then noted, "To be clear, the suspect was born in the United States."
