Fox News had an unfortunate moment with a hot mic on Wednesday as one of the network’s guests was given a four-letter greeting.

The moment came as Laura Ingraham introduced far-right commentator Charlie Kirk for a segment on corporate leaders becoming more friendly to President-elect Donald Trump.

“Joining me now is someone who knows a little bit about this: Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder,” she said.

“Oh, shit,” an off-camera voice said.

Mediate reported that an “audio operator accidentally slid the wrong fader,” catching another guest in the s-bomb.

It’s not clear who said it or if they were reacting to Kirk.
