'Uh...': Fox News ridiculed after claiming 'libraries turned into drug-infested sex dens'

A lot of Americans will be checking out their local libraries after Fox News ran a segment on their transition into "drug-infested sex dens."

Host Jesse Watters told his fellow Fox News panelists Thursday that an under-reported crime spree had spread through public library systems and he had one person to blame.

"Libraries are no longer safe in [President] Joe Biden's America," Watters declared. The show cut to a brief report on the New York Post's reporting on librarians' safety woes.

One lone Fox News panelist tried to point out that crime is decreasing across the nation and in major cities, but was quickly shouted down by Jeanine Pirro.

"Do you really believe that?" Pirro demanded to know. "Do you walk outside?"

After the segment made its way to social media, many X users declared themselves ready to investigate the matter for themselves.

"I'm going to need a list of these libraries to verify this for myself, and uh... tell them to stop it," replied @jank_jennifer. "Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket."

"The new 'librarians after dark' programs are pretty lit," added @JediCounselor.

"I once got a lap dance in the Shakespeare section," confessed @zwiit.

"The Library of Congress," declared Brian O'Loughlin, "is like Sodom and Gomorrah."

If anyone needs me," said @ElseSumone, "I’ll be at the library."

"Damm," said @Too_COLDForThis. "I gotta find my library card."
