Fox News called President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator” in an on-screen graphic on Tuesday evening, hours after Donald Trump was arraigned on 37 criminal counts in his classified documents scandal.  

Toward the end of “Fox News Tonight” the show airing in Tucker Carlson ’s old time slot, this week hosted by Brian Kilmeade   the network showed side-by-side images of Biden and Trump. 

The graphic said: “Wannabe Dictator Speaks At The White House After Having His Political Rival Arrested.”

Biden did not have Trump arrested. 

Fox News later said in a statement: "The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed.”

Kilmeade also solemnly referred to Trump as “the president of the United States.” 

Earlier in the show, Kilmeade defended Trump, saying many of the federal charges came under the Espionage Act, which “is over 100 years old” and usually reserved for spies.

“Even Trump’s worst critics are not alleging that he passed classified materials to our enemies, Russia or China, or anybody else,” the TV personality said. Trump, he said, “is not a traitor, I think you can agree with that.”   

He then attacked Hillary Clinton and complained she was never indicted.
