    “Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit, nothing of value was lost.”

    “OMG PLEASE FIRE THAT PERSON!”

    “Mentally ill homeless people need to be put down like dogs.”

    “OMG PLEASE APOLOGIZE AND MAKE IT AT LEAST SOUND LIKE YOU MEAN IT!”

    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.

    Oh, he apologized! Now it’s all better.

    He can keep his job though, because he only said we should kill the homeless. He didnt do something truly evil, like imply that Charlie Kirk might not be a modern American Saint…

    Apologizes.

    For suggesting we kill the homeless. Instead of just imprisoning them.

    He’s not sorry. He’s an awful person.

      He works for Fash news. Obviously he’s some cluster of narcissist, psychopath, religious fundamentalist, fascist, racist, etc, etc.

    And yet hundreds are being fired via cancel culture for being happy a stochastic speaker isn’t spreading violence

    I think justice for this would be for Kilmeade to become homeless and see just how awful it is. Hopefully he isn’t subsequently rounded up and killed by the state, but if he did then he sure did bring it upon himself with his statements.

    But he said it. The message has been delivered, and spread. Saying and apologizing is not the same as not saying it.
