Fox News Host Goes Scorched Earth On Donald Trump’s “Insane” Defense Of J6 Rioters

Even Fox News is fed up at this point.

It seems even some of the talking heads over at Fox News have had it up to here with Donald Trump’s incessant, never-ending bullshit.

Fox Network host Brian Kilmdeade effectively tore into the scandal-ridden former president on this morning’s segment, over a heady combo of Trump’s blatant refusal to shut up and stop harping on the multiple investigations raging against him when he should be touting his presidential accomplishments as he prepares for the 2024 election, combined with Donald’s “insane” celebration of and admiration for the individuals who stormed and attacked this nation’s Capitol building in his name on January 6th — both of which we saw on full display during the disgraced ex-president’s Waco, TX, rally this weekend.

Kilmeade’s Fox & Friends segment this morning began with commentary on the “Hell” Silicon Valley Bank soon has “to pay,” as their lack of responsibility, oversight, and regulation finally bit them in the ass hard enough to shut them down, as other massive corporate banks begin to face similar fates.

But apparently, Brian’s beef extends beyond Silicon Valley Bank and their fellow dysregulated institutions. Kilmeade’s got beef with Trump himself.

“I think for President Trump to spend 80% of his time complaining about court cases instead of just looking at his own record and what he would have done,” the Fox host fumed on this morning’s segment.

“And let me tell you what I would have done to SBG. Let me tell you what I would have done over into Syria if they if we our guys got hit for the 74th time and twice in two days,” he went on to add, making note of what Donald Trump or other 2024 candidates should be saying as the next election season closes in on us. “He does that, or other candidates do that, they’re going to be unbelievably successful because that’s going to be the conversation at the kitchen table.”

But the Right-wing network talking head still wasn’t done. Brian then turned his attention to Donald’s Waco, TX, rally that took place over the weekend — an event that was already steeped in its own controversy long before it even took place, due to Donald’s suspicious decisions surrounding the timing and location of the campaign rally — highlighting the numerous moments during the event where the disgraced former US president appeared to openly and proudly celebrate the individuals who stormed and destroyed the nation’s Capitol building on January 6th, all in the name of keeping Donald Trump in a place of power where he no longer belonged.

“Instead, the United States former president opened up with January Six video,” Kilmeade said, exclaiming, “which is insane!”

“He should be running from that, period,” the Fox host went on to lambast the former president. “I don’t care his point of view, that is not a good thing for him. I thought that was absolutely awful. Even though he is winning in the polls, that will not help.”

Trump’s Waco rally struck a cord even worse than what we’ve come to expect from these events, as the rally opened with an anthem-style pro-Trump song by the J6 Prison Choir, titled “Justice For All,” as a montage of images of the infamous insurrection was played across the video screens in the style of a cheesy high school graduation slideshow.
