Arroyo was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and attended Brother Martin High School. He graduated from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. [2] He stated on Fox News that his father migrated from Central America and served as a U.S. Marine.
Arroyo worked at the Associated Press, the New York Observer , and for the political columnist team of Evans and Novak. He hosts the news program The World Over Live. As a Fox News contributor, he is a frequent guest and occasional substitute host on The Ingraham Angle . He has been featured on such television shows as The Today Show , Good Morning America , Access Hollywood , The O'Reilly Factor , and CNN Headline News .
On February 21, 2024, Arroyo garnered controversy by suggesting on Fox's The Big Weekend Show that the recent release of Donald Trump's $400 sneakers is connected to a loss of support for President Joe Biden among Black voters, because the former is "connecting with Black America - because they love sneakers!". [3] [4]
His statement was criticized as racist by The View co-hosts Ana Navarro and Sara Haines, who said "If I said that right here today, we would be celebrating my last day here at the show. Easily." [5] "I have a few questions for Arroyo", wrote Black Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist James Causey. "Who did he talk to in the 'inner city'? Who told him Trump's shoes are resonating with the Black community?" The idea that Blacks would vote for Trump over a pair of sneakers showed how poorly conservatives understood that community, he said. [4]
