Fox News host Pete Hegseth tried to attack President Barack Obama s economic record over the weekend, but it didnt go as planned.

Democrats want to talk about health care. They dont want to talk about immigration. They cant talk about the economy, Hegseth said on Fox and Friends on Saturday. I mean Barack Obama is trying to say he rebuilt the economy.

Thats when cohost Ed Henry stepped in with a fact-check.

Youve read the numbers, Im sure, Henry said. Barack Obama created more jobs in his final 21 months than President [Donald] Trump has created in his first 21.

Henry also said Trump was given better economic conditions than what Obama received from President George W. Bush .

[Trump] was handed a good economy and made it better, Henry said, but Hegseth wasnt having it.

See the exchange in the clip above.

Later in the show, Henry tried to return to his point when they were joined by Fox Business host Stuart Varney, according to a clip posted online by Mediaite.

All Im saying is, wasnt the table set by Barack Obama? Henry asked. Why cant Republicans just admit that ?
