Introducing the Friday night "Tucker Carlson Tonight" segment, the Fox News host recalled when Republican leaders once "made a big show of opposing Obama administration refugee policy" and supposedly "got their wish" when President Donald Trump won the 2016 election and signed "an executive order allowing cities and states to opt-out of refugee resettlement."

However, "for some reason, no Republican governors are taking advantage of that," Carlson said, noting that 18 GOP governors so far "have explicitly requested that more refugees be sent to their states."

The list so far includes:

Doug Ducey, Arizona
Asa Hutchinson, Arkansas
Brad Little, Idaho
Eric Holcomb, Indiana
Kim Reynolds, Iowa
Larry Hogan, Maryland
Charlie Baker, Massachusetts
Mike Parsons, Missouri
Pete Ricketts, Nebraska
