Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy sparked is being mocked after mistaking academic science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) programs with saunas.
On Sunday, Campos-Duffy put her ignorance in full display when she sat down with her Fox & Friends Weekend co-hosts Joey Jones and Will Cain.
During the segment, co-host Joey Jones opened the door for anti-migrant rhetoric by sharing a story about a third grader at Public School 145 who wrote a letter about her school being overcrowded.
“This year, we lost our library, music room, and STEAM room, and I’m happy that we have a lot of new kids, but it’s not okay that we don’t have enough space,” the 8-year-old student said in the letter.
“If you’re going to invite a whole lot more people here, we got to have somewhere to have school,” Jones replied.
“Yeah, I’m still trying to get over the fact that they have a steam room!” Campos-Duffy exclaimed, confusing the academic program with sauna rooms.
“Did I read that right?” she asked. “Yeah, maybe I read that wrong. Wow, schools changed. Maybe we did give them too much COVID money.”
Her comments drew harsh criticism from social media users.

“mind numbing stupid doesn’t begin to describe @FoxNews so called journalists,” Brenda Mackay sai.
