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.
