Fox's Raymond Arroyo pretended to be surprised when a Republican "town hall" at a Shreveport, LA diner turned out to be full of MAGAt Trump supporters who aren't going to vote for Joe Biden.

On this Sunday's Fox & Friends, they featured a number of segments throughout the morning with Arroyo talking to people in the diner, and eventually with newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose district includes Shreveport, making an appearance.

During the first of those segments, Arroyo did a survey of the audience and asked for people to clap in response to who they were voting for, and not one of them clapped for Biden, and almost all of them burst into applause when he asked about Trump.

What Fox didn't tell their audience is that the diner was promoting the event on Facebook as a "town hall" and the event was shared by Mike Johnson's mother.

And apparently the The Caddo Parish Republican Party was there as well, since they were filming Arroyo and Johnson "helping" with some of the cooking.

Johnson posted a portion of his appearance there on the social media site formerly known as Twitter:

So how many people in that diner do you think were Johnson's friends and family and Louisiana Republican party officials? I'm going to guess most if not all of them.
