Fox News' Brian Kilmeade apologizes for saying mentally ill homeless people should be executed

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has apologized for advocating the execution of mentally ill homeless people.

Dude says the homeless (or unhoused if yer into that sort of language) should just be killed.

Should he just be fired from FOX News?

Of course he should. He is advocating the execution, by the government, of American citizens, mentally ill ones at that. Killing people who cannot make rational choices. And need psychiatric care. Some of whom, certainly, are veterans. The only country I know who has done this is Nazi Germany.

His apology is bullshit. I cannot imagine someone saying that iif they don't believe it at least somewhat. And even if I am totally wrong that he wants them dead, he inarguably is treating them as less than human, like inconvenient pets taken to a kill shelter. Should that guy be given a platform on a big national news network?

If Fox doesn't fire him, it says volumes about their ethics. Maybe I should advocate for him to executed because he's incredibly stupid.
 
Thoughts and prayers to our local MAGA on now being obligated to run air cover for Brian Kilmeade.

Hopefully one of them can execute a solid But Liberals deflection.
 
Why? FoxNews/Pravda would only replace him with someone worse.

Fox and it's views have no moral standards at all for the current of president of the United States. How can they hold anyone else to any standards?
 
Waiting for those that say they should be fired for saying tasteless things about Charlie Kirk, advocate for hiring this loser.
 
Advocating the death penalty for (the new crime of?) being mentally ill (and dangerous?) should be grounds for his termination. Fortunately, no state has such a law. IIRC, mental illness (or even having a low IQ?) can be used as the basis to spare folks from receiving the death penalty.
 
conservative Trump GOP person here

yes, fire him, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, that talk isn't acceptable

I didn't know that hate speech didn't cover words which may be advocate for lawless activity like executing mentally ill with no other justification than they are mentally ill.

I mean, ADA covers them, so how could we ever make it legal to just... give a lethal injection to mentally ill people? I dunno.

Must be something I need to research.

Oddly, we both chose the same poll option. ;)
 
Note: This is how the right-wing thinks. Brian Kilmeade didn't misspeak. He wants the homeless rounded up and executed. His mistake was in expressing it publicly and THINKING it was acceptable in this political climate. It doesn't negate the sentiment, which he fully believes.

I agree he should be fired as long as you agree that those celebrating Charlie Kirk's death also be fired.

The fact that you put a condition on it proves that you support Kilmeade.
 
IMO his comments now qualify him for a prime position in Trump's administration. He should be fired but that won't happen at FOX.

As long as they have the high ratings at FOX they will do and say as they please. Even today, Harris Faulkner bragged that they are not beholden to FCC guidelines since they do not have licensing through them.
