Fox News Host Has On-Air Meltdown After Another Republican Loss

Fox's Brian Kilmeade ranted about the election results this week.

The various election results throughout 2025 have shown that the election victory in 2024 that propelled Donald Trump back into office did not represent any kind of permanent political realignment.

And now, it appears Fox News has noticed.

This week, in one of the last elections of the year, Miami held its election for mayor, and Democrat Eileen Higgins defeated Republican Emilio Gonzalez to become the first Democrat in three decades, and the first woman ever, to win that office.

On Fox and Friends on Wednesday, Fox host Brian Kilmeade addressed the result and other recent ones.

“Look at the numbers, get the experts in there, and if the numbers show the Hispanic vote went heavily for the Democrat, that is a warning sign for next year,” Kilmeade said on the show. “They love him at the border,” Kilmeade said of the Hispanic vote. “They don’t necessarily love the aggressive tactics of going to Home Depot or landscape trucks, dragging people off.”

“Some of them are misreading the aggressive tactics of ICE and taking it on the whole Hispanic community,” Kilmeade had said on the show two days earlier, before the vote in Miami. “They feel as though they’ve been too broadly targeted. And that’s why the president’s numbers are coming down with Hispanics.”

For a network which has never been shy about either vilifying immigrants, or praising doing so as brilliant politics, the comments were somewhat jarring. And, as pointed out by Daily Express, some Fox viewers weren’t very happy with what they heard from Kilmeade on the show.
