O’Leary falsely vented on multiple programs in May that critics of his proposed 9-gigawatt facility were funded by the Chinese Communist Party.
At the end of Saturday’s broadcast of “The Big Weekend Show,” host Johnny “Joey” Jones clarified and apologized for the comments that O’Leary made on that show on May 24:
“He made certain claims relating to the opponents of his project. Mr. O’Leary has now corrected the record and explained that he has ‘no evidence’ that the Alliance for a Better Utah, Josh Kanter or Taylor Knuth are funded by China or the Chinese Communist Party. Fox News Media is likewise aware of no evidence that they are funded by, or acting in the direction of, or in coordination with Chinese interests in opposing Mr. O’Leary’s project. Fox News Media also apologizes for the error.”
