Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> on Monday slammed Fox News<\/a> for trying to cover up what he called a blatantly \u201cshameful\u201d act by President Donald Trump<\/a> during a dignified transfer for fallen U.S. service members. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve now lost seven American lives in Trump\u2019s war on Iran, and paying respect to troops who sacrificed everything as a result of a decision you made is one of, if not the most important things a president does,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cBut God forbid he just do it normally and respectfully.\u201d <\/p>\n

Trump attended the event in a cap \u2015 specifically, one he sells on his own website for $55.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery situation is a merchandising opportunity,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cAnd of course, whenever the president does something shameful, the heroes at Fox News swoop in to clean it up for him.\u201d <\/p>\n

Instead of showing Trump in his cap, the right-wing network aired old footage of Trump without a cap. The network owned up to what it called a \u201cmistake\u201d<\/a> after alert viewers noticed and called them out on social media. <\/p>\n

But Kimmel wasn\u2019t having it \u2015 because in addition to airing the wrong footage, Fox News let the incident slide largely without criticism. <\/p>\n

Kimmel ran a supercut video of Fox News personalities throwing a fit over scenes such as then-President Barack Obama<\/a> offering a salute with a coffee cup in his hand as he exited his chopper in 2014. <\/p>\n
