“Primetime covered this story heavily on Monday, lobbied, and now we’re glad that justice is being served,” Watters claimed before showing several clips from that day’s show. The final clip cuts before the Fox host says that if “the mainstream media and the president of the United States [are] if we catch another hoax then that is absolutely disgraceful and fits a pretty dangerous pattern of politically timed disinformation.” Waters then turned his attention to Dr. Caitlin Bernard, the Indiana obstetrician-gynecologist who performed the abortion, and suggested she could face “criminal charges” for her handling of the case. Waters took that question to Indiana’s Republican attorney general, Todd Rokita, who went on to label Bernard an “abortion activist acting as a doctor” and claimed she has a “history of failing to report” child abuse cases. “This is a horrible, horrible scene caused by Marxists and socialists and those in the White House who want lawlessness at the border,” Rokita claimed. The suspected rapist, a 27-year-old Guatemalan national named Gerson Fuentes, is in the country illegally, The Daily Beast reported Wednesday. “This girl was politicized – politicized to kill more babies. That was the goal, and that abortion activist is out there front and center.” Rokita also attacked “fake news,” including the Indianapolis Star, which first reported the rape and subsequent abortion that occurred after Roe v. Wade was overturned and Ohio’s enabling law went into effect. “They were right there jumping on all of this, thinking it would be great for their abortion movement when this girl has been so rushed.”
