Fox News host Harris Faulkner led her audience to believe that President Joe Biden could send parents who protest at school board meetings to Guantanamo Bay as punishment.
The claim was made as Faulkner was interviewing Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich on Monday.
According to the Arizona official, Biden's Department of Justice crossed the line with a memo warning about threats to public officials. Conservatives have falsely claimed that Attorney General Merrick Garland labeled parents as "domestic terrorists" in the memo.
"Joe Biden and Merrick Garland essentially want to weaponize the Department of Justice," Brnovich opined. "And just because parents are exercising their First Amendment rights to speak out against critical race theory or even vaccine mandates does not make them domestic terrorists."
"And if we allow the Biden administration to continue this, God forbid, you're going to end up with mom and pop at Gitmo," he added. "Think about how outrageous that is, Harris."
"That is outrageous!" Faulkner agreed, declining to fact-check her guest. "Could that really happen?"
"We are living in a time where we need to make sure we are protecting our constitutional rights on every single level," Brnovich replied.
"That's interesting," Faulkner remarked. "Because you say one leads to the other. That sounds like a slippery slope, which is how you got there."
