A Fox News host apparently decided the best way to deal with Tropical Storm Hilary was to ― wait for it ― blame it on Joe Biden.
At the opening of Fox News’ “Big Weekend Show” on Sunday, host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who goes by just Kennedy, engaged in some casual xenophobia by jokingly implying the storm was just another immigrant.
“The wrath of Tropical Storm Hilary. Forty-two million desperate souls in the path of the storm, which made landfall in Mexico several hours ago. But they let it right into the country because it’s Biden’s America,” she said.
Fox News literally blamed tropical storm Hilary on Joe Biden.

Although most people will accept that Kennedy was just making an awful immigration joke, the anti-Trump website Meidas Touch noted that “a good number of MAGA Republican weather modification conspiracy theorists could have taken Fox News’ reporting a different way.” It added, “Let’s just say the Jewish Space Laser crowd eats this stuff up.”
Not surprisingly, Kennedy’s comments attracted a deluge of comments from users on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Do these people think this hurricane was an immigrant from Mexico https://t.co/HoV1sucddd

Since they can't dig up dirt on Pres. Biden, they just blame him for natural disasters. 🤦🏼♀️ https://t.co/yGPC6aiaVJ

It’s really a toss up as to whether Fox is mocking itself or dead serious. Either way, #FoxIsPropaganda. #GOPClownShowhttps://t.co/osI8zbIhiv

Damn, I wish I could control the weather like @JoeBiden and @TheDemocrats and I’ll bet the @GOP and @FoxNews wish that as well! https://t.co/qe0GxwpDbI

Somehow they will spin this around to Hillary’s (2 L’s) emails, aren’t they? https://t.co/TRbM4QjA7p

FFS this is real. When I first saw it I chuckled thinking someone had to have done a voiceover. But noooo Fox I’d actually saying Pres Biden “let the storm in.” I just can’t with these yahoos anymore. https://t.co/ko9evcCTEI

Amazingly, Kennedy’s comments are not the most uninformed weather-related remarks made by Republicans. For example, when Donald Trump was president, he reportedly suggested “multiple times” that homeland security and national security officials explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from striking the United States.
