Fox Host Apologizes for ‘Callous’ Comment About Homeless People
Brian Kilmeade, a longtime host on Fox News, apologized on Sunday for comments he made on a broadcast last week in which he proposed killing mentally ill homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection.”
“Just kill ’em,” he said.
Heavy criticism followed as his comments were shared widely online, and Mr. Kilmeade apologized during a weekend episode of “Fox & Friends.”
“I wrongfully said they should get lethal injections,” he said. “I apologize for that extremely callous remark.”
