Fox News Channel host Brian Kilmeade apologized on Sunday for advocating for the execution of mentally ill homeless people in a discussion on the network last week, saying his remark was “extremely callous.”
Kilmeade’s initial comment came on a “Fox & Friends” episode Wednesday and began getting widespread circulation online over the weekend. Kilmeade, a host of the morning show, was talking with co-hosts Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt about the Aug. 22 stabbing murder of Iryna Zarutska on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina.
A homeless and mentally ill man, Decarlos Brown Jr., was arrested for murder, and the case received extensive attention on Fox following the release of a security video of the stabbing.
Jones was talking on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday about public money spent on trying to help homeless people and suggested that those who didn’t accept services offered to them should be jailed.
“Or involuntary lethal injection, or something,” Kilmeade said. “Just kill ‘em.”
Earhardt interjected, “Why did it have to get to this point?” Kilmeade replied, “I will say this, we’re not voting for the right people.”
He’s just apologizing for saying it “On Air”. He’ll continue to go around and do rallies and speaking engagements almost exactly like the other nazi propagandists, like Pierced Kirk. He’ll continue to say it in private events until the correct nazi political climate is right for him to re-energize his homeless murder program for hundreds of thousands of people.
Most likely he does not mean it. Because he would not have uttered such Nazi euthanasia bullshit in the open if it had not permeated him.
oopsie daisy.
how about reconsidering your position instead of just regretting saying you support eugenics out loud?
and saying it on the weekened instead of primetime fox, when everyone is watching fox at the time.
And yet he’s still employed after calling for The Final Solution on live TV.
But god forbid someone remind others that Charlie Kirk was a fascist christian nationalist neo-nazi who praised and advocated for the murder of children and minorities. That would be wrong.
Don’t care fire him
From a cannon.
Off into job-land.
Into the sun.
from a missile silo, or a torpedo tube in a submarine.
Wasn’t there a guy on another network (MSNBC?) that was fired even AFTER he apologized for making Charlie Kirk remarks?
He was fired for saying hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions. That was all.
Also a columnist from the Washington Post was fired for simply mentioning a real Kirk quote:
Black women “do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously."…
“You have to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.”
I’ve noticed a bunch of these rags are saying her quote was “untrue” but it seems it was real, according to Snopes at least. Revisionist history at work in real time.
Yup, that’s the one. I forgot about that poor woman. The irony of her being fired for using his words, while he was honored for them.
He didn’t even make a Charlie Kirk remark he simply said hate begets hate.
Yes, but I can understand how it was offensive. He was saying that, hey you might face the consequences of your words as if being killed for speaking was ok. But he apologized for that and was still fired, while this guy literally said people should be killed for being mentally ill. Way worse. Apparently apologizing for horrible speech is ok on Fox News. You don’t even have to be sincere. Again the irony is HE’S mentally ill!
“I’m very sorry that all of you are so easily offended by interpreting my words exactly as they were said.”
But of course he’ll get to keep his job.
Hm, isn’t this part of the Nazi platform? Didn’t they go after trans and the disabled first?
I’m surprised a mouthpiece on state media is being made to apologize. I just figured this was in their plans for Gilead.
The apology literally does not matter.
The fact is, for all three of them - they felt perfectly comfortable saying that unhoused people and people with mental health issues should be murdered by the state. Without flinching. On a very popular national television show.
And the network broadcast it. Not a single person involved in “Should we let this go to air?” went “Hold the fuck on.” The network hasn’t suspended anyone, hasn’t put the show on hold while they think about what they should be doing here, and so far as I know hasn’t said a fucking word about it.
Yes, there are a lot of people condemning these statements, rightly so. Take serious notice of who isn’t. They’re okay with state-sponsored murder of people who have not committed any crime.
I’ve said this before: If they come for you, you’re going. Fight like your life depends on it, because it does. Fight like all of our lives depend on it, because they do.
Winter is coming.
“* They’re okay with state-sponsored murder of people who have not committed any crime.”
And thats why they keep trying to make being homeless or any activity that homeless people do illegal.
Point out Kirk showed division and promoted violence: firing
Openly advocating the murder of mentally ill homeless people: keep your job as long as you issue a mandated ‘apology’
Fuck this country.
*sowed
It’s pretty twisted, for sure.
And then he was fired, right? Just like all of the people who got fired for saying Charlie Kirk wasn’t a nice guy. Right?
You never go full nazi.
(Except they are)
“Oops pushed it a little too far there, I’ll try again after Heir Trumps death squads do more sweeps.”
I don’t want his fucking apology, I want him fired asap. The right are having anyone who criticized Kirk death fired. Well this hateful bullshit should get him fired too. I want website dedicated to getting everyone on that show fired.
