Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: "Just a reminder that these are the same folks who assert their superiority by belittling the intelligence and good faith of others."
CNN's chief media correspondent Brian Stetler shared a photo of the graphic with the caption: "This is an actual banner from Fox & Friends Weekend. 6:03am today. I double checked because I didn't believe it at first."
Florida radio host Grant Stern tweeted: "Is Fox News staffed by fourth graders?"
Edward Isaac Dovere, a staff writer for the Atlantic, tweeted: "So many Mexican countries to choose from."
Actor Ron Perlman wrote: "I guess we should thank God it's only three Mexican countries. Amd not all of them. (sic)"
Fox & Friends later issued an on-air correction and apology, making it clear that the network is aware that there is only one "Mexican country" - Mexico.
"Now we want to clarify and correct something that happened earlier in the show," co-host Ed Henry said. "We had an inaccurate graphic on screen while talking about this very story.
"We just want to be clear, the funding is being cut off to the three Central American countries. We apologise for the error. It never should have happened."
