Fox & Friends co-host Anna Kooiman fell hook, line and sinker for a fake story that claimed PresidentBarack Obama[1] is personally funding “The International Museum of Muslim Cultures” during the government shutdown and attempted to call him out on it during a segment of the October 5th show. The National Report[2], a site known for it’s political satire, posted the satirical story which included the following statement from President Obama: “During this shutdown, people will have to deal with some of their favorite parks and museums being closed,” Obama told reporters. “Just keep in mind, they will always be there. The Grand Canyon and the Smithsonian are not going anywhere.” Obama continued, “The International Museum of Muslim Cultures is sacred. That is why I have taken it upon myself to use my own personal funds to re-open this historic piece of American culture.”
