Ex-Fox News host calls for Trump aide to be 'fired immediately' after president's screw up

Donald Trump released false information about an active shooter on Saturday, despite claiming to have been fully briefed on the matter, leading one prominent conservative to call for the "immediate" firing of the individual who provided the faulty information to the president.

Trump claimed that a suspect had been taken into custody in an active shooter situation at Brown University in Rhode Island, despite the fact that all major media outlets were reporting that no one had been arrested yet.
