On Monday evening, Fox News host Jesse Watters spent the opening segment of his primetime show suggesting the case of a 10-year-old Ohio girl who was forced to travel to Indiana to get an abortion after she was raped was fabricated to benefit a left-wing agenda.

On Wednesday, that girl’s alleged rapist was arrested.

After laying out the details of the “heinous story,” Watters played clips of CNN and MSNBC hosts, as well as President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, pointing to the girl’s dire situation as an example of why abortion bans without exception are so harmful. “This isn’t some imagined horror. It is already happening,” Biden said in his remarks. As they spoke, Fox News ran phrases like “Media Ran With Story of 10-Year-Old Pregnant Girl” and “Kamala Has Been Fooled Before” in the lower third of the screen.
