Fox Business Condemns Lou Dobbs Guest Who Pushed Migrant Caravan Conspiracy Theory
Judicial Watchs Chris Farrell had claimed the Soros-occupied State Department was behind a group of migrants headed toward the U.S.
By Hayley Miller
Fox Business on Sunday condemned remarks made by a guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight after he claimed migrants headed to the United States are being funded by Jewish billionaire philanthropist George Soros and the State Department.
Chris Farrell, director of research and investigation for conservative activist group Judicial Watch, peddled the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory during an appearance Thursday on Fox Business Lou Dobbs Tonight. The network aired the episode again Saturday, following the deadly mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh.
We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight, Gary Schreier,
senior vice president of programming for Fox Business Network, said in a statement to HuffPost. This episode was a repeat which has now been pulled from all future airings.
In the episode, Farrell railed against Soros, one of several high-profile Democrats targeted in last weeks mail bomb attacks, and accused him of conspiring with State Department officials to fund a large migrant caravan making its way through Mexico toward the U.S.

(18,029 posts)2. So it was the second time you broadcast it
Your host goes along with it. You even had the opportunity to vet it before the second broadcast.
Why isn't Lou Dobbs being pulled as well? Will you have a Judicial Watch spokesman on again?

Probably just nodded and let him go on.
