MAGA reporter Monica Paige issued a groveling apology after falsely accusing wrongfully deported Maryland dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia of murder.

Paige, the White House correspondent for pro-MAGA outlet Frontlines—the media arm of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA—made the explosive allegation on Fox News while discussing the stalling efforts to pass President Donald Trump’s spending megabill, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

“If you’re going to vote ‘no’ on this, then you’re voting along with Democrats, especially Democrats like [Oregon Representative] Maxine Dexter, who was on the Hill today dressed in a white robe, who also visited El Salvador to go see Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who killed Americans,” Paige said Wednesday. “If you’re not siding with Republicans, then unfortunately, you’re siding with Democrats, anti-American.”

Fox News at Night host Trace Gallagher didn’t correct Paige during the segment but wrapped up the discussion and told her to “stand by if you would.”
