https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2025-09-14/fox-news-host-brian-kilmeade-apologizes-for-remarks-about-killing-mentally-ill-homeless-people

“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade apologized Sunday for remarks he made last week that suggested using involuntary lethal injections to get mentally ill homeless people off the streets.

Kilmeade’s comments came during a discussion last Wednesday on “Fox & Friends” about the Aug. 22 stabbing death of a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, on a light rail train in Charlotte, N.C.

Zarutska’s suspected killer, DeCarlos Brown Jr., is a homeless man with a long criminal record and is a paranoid schizophrenic, according to his family.

The attack on Zarutska was captured on security cameras and circulated widely online. The incident has sparked a national debate on public safety policy and criminal sentencing.

The topic led “Fox & Friends” co-host Laurence Jones to say that billions of dollars have been spent on programs to care for the homeless and mentally ill but many of those afflicted resist help.

“A lot of them don’t want to take the programs,” Jones said. “A lot of them don’t want to get the help that is necessary. You can’t give them the choice. Either you take the resources that we’re going to give you, or you decide that you’ve got to be locked up in jail.”

Kilmeade added: “Or involuntary lethal injection or something — just kill ‘em.”

A clip of Kilmeade’s remarks started to circulate widely on X on Saturday.

“I apologize for that extremely callous remark,” Kilmeade said during Sunday’s edition of the morning program. “I am obviously aware that not all mentally ill, homeless people act as the perpetrator did in North Carolina and that so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion.”

Many online commentators pointed out that Kilmeade’s comments evoked the extermination of mentally ill and disabled people that was authorized by Adolf Hitler in 1939. The German chancellor’s euthanasia program killed more than 250,000 people ahead of the Holocaust.

For now, Kilmeade has avoided the fate of political analyst Matthew Dowd, who lost his contributor role at MSNBC after commenting on the Wednesday shooting death of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk.

Dowd told MSNBC anchor Katy Tur that “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”

Dowd, once a political strategist for President George W. Bush, described Kirk as a divisive figure “who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups.”

I feel like given how often "suggesting" is used to mean "implying" people should really stop fucking using it for "suggestions" people just outright say. Like if the suggestion already includes "should" you should just say "saying".

Also, apology not accepted.

I think he was trying to be ironic/funny by adding that on to what the other host said.
>>
>>1436672
That's what counts as funny to the Fox & Friends audience
>>
>>1436653
Your apology will be accepted when you resign from broadcast journalism as a whole and you spend the rest of your life volunteering to help homeless people.
When no less than former President of the United States Jimmy Carter - until he was too old to do so - built affordable homes with his own hands so what's your excuse for not doing exactly the same, Trump? and as he was a devout Southern Baptist who followed the teachings of his Lord, you only have the right to do exactly that, Kilmeade.

Homeless people do more good than the politicians and media personalities that want them dead.
>>
Not all homeless people suffer from mental disorders however everyone at Fox does suffer from mental disorders.
>>
Depends on what kind of homeless you're talking about. Junkies? Work will set them free.
>>
>>1436802
>unironically supporting a thing condoning murder
...so the whole 'You MUST have empathy for Charlie 'I think empathy is a made up New Age term that has done a lot of damage' Kirk no longer has the right to exist, snowflake rightards no longer have the right to be cancel culture SJWs (>>1436636), thus they never had the right to be snowflakes in the first place, and it all balances out, amirite?
...but as you're unbalanced >>1436802, no wonder you're sloppy for a dead man that had no regard for empathy, so you tell me.
As you're sloppy for an orange thing born in 1946, you tell me, that which loves a boomer

Damn, that Arbeit Macht Frei Nice, Austin 'Piece of Shit' Peterson that uses fake German. 'Schneider Schneider!'

Take your meds, troon
>>
lol, that which is the one needing meds, 1436850 is not only projecting but is displaying its sexual obsession again. especially when its replies - with the emphasis on Lies - is what its reduced to when it can't counter facts which destroys its wrong opinions, thus its the one needing meds to cope
>>
>>1436850
Wrong board
>>>/lgbt/

>>1436652
So respected professionals across the country can get fired for simply saying that they didn't like Kirk all too much, but this psychotic retard gets off with a fake apology over advocating mass murder?
>>
>>1437031
you have to treat the neo-confederacy with kid gloves, they're just good ol' excitable boys
>>
>>1436652
The other guy is awful too and should be fired:
>Hurr durr you should just jail homeless people who don't use welfare programs
Absolutely evil wtf????
>>
>>1436652
My sources are telling me Hamas are currently building tunnels in this mans neck. Someone should really take at look at that.
>>
>>1437031
Hypocrisy 101. It really shows you the elite only care about the elite.
>>
>>1437054
Elite is a funny term anymore... in games elite are usually tougher so the fact he didn't survive a simple neck wound means he wasn't that elite.

>the left are all amoral radical murder rapists

>we should just murder anyone who can't afford housing in the 2025 dystopia of America

I love watching the right bitch and whine about leftists who actually want to bring wage equality.
>>
>>1437225
Fox & Friends exists to make boomers afraid of leftists. There is nothing wrong with the country they won't blame on "the left" while completely ignoring republicans.
>>
Yeah its insane the double standards atm
>>
>>1437262
>atm
Always. If anything we're finally seeing some movement away from the double standard at least at the grassroots level, if the avalanche of people telling Republicans to eat shit for trying to guilt people about their reactions to the Kirk killing are any indication.

>>1437341
>telling Republicans to eat shit
They wouldn't need telling. MAGAts would eat Trump's shit if they could breathe into the mouths of Democrats
