Fox News host Brian Kilmeade isn’t one to frequently display huge emotion on-air.
But he didn’t hold back when discussing Democrat lawmakers who protested at a New Jersey immigration detention center.
And Brian Kilmeade shocked the Fox & Friends audience with this brutal assessment of Democrats protesting at an ICE facility.
Fox & Friends host loses patience with Democrat antics
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade unleashed a scathing critique of Democrat politicians who participated in protests at Newark’s Delaney Hall ICE detention facility during Wednesday morning’s broadcast of Fox & Friends.
The normally composed co-host didn’t hold back, calling Democrats the “stupidest party ever” and questioning whether they were suffering from “collective aneurysms” in a heated exchange with co-hosts Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt.
“They’re going to go in for illegal alien criminals being held in New Jersey,” Kilmeade said, visibly frustrated. “And now they have some idiot who put up his hand and say I want to impeach President Donald Trump and vote on it in Congress. All these people in battleground districts — are they the stupidest party ever? Are they all having collective aneurysms?”
His comments referenced last Friday’s chaotic protest that resulted in the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and allegations that Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) assaulted an ICE officer.
Democrat lawmakers face consequences for actions at ICE facility
The Fox & Friends segment highlighted the growing controversy surrounding several Democrat lawmakers who participated in the protest, including Congresswomen LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Congressman Robert Menendez Jr – all New Jersey Democrats.
Kilmeade pointed out that these representatives now face potential removal from their committee assignments due to their actions at the facility.
“So you had Congresswomen LaMonica McIver, Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robert Menendez Jr. — that family’s having a tough roll of it, aren’t they? — They are looking at being removed from their committees because of their actions,” Kilmeade remarked.
He also took aim at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who defended the protests as “peaceful” and “sacrosanct.”
“Chuck Schumer yesterday says well, the Democrats were doing exactly what they are supposed to do. They are having a peaceful protest,” Kilmeade noted, before Jones interjected: “That’s not peaceful.”
Homeland Security Secretary slams lawmakers’ behavior
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt brought additional perspective to the discussion by playing a clip of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem condemning the lawmakers’ actions during an appearance on Jesse Watters’ show.
“What happened last Friday was we had members of Congress assaulting law enforcement officers. They were cooperating with criminals to create criminal acts. And then they’re saying that they were providing oversight,” Noem said in the clip.
She continued, “This wasn’t oversight. This was committing felonies. This was going out and attacking people who stand up for the rule of law. And it was absolutely horrible.”
Noem questioned the motives behind these protests at facilities holding criminal detainees. “What are they trying to do? Release these people back in the country so that there can be more Laken Rileys and more Jocelyn Nungarays?” she asked. “I don’t understand what their point is. They have completely lost their minds.”
After the clip ended, Kilmeade summarized what he viewed as the bizarre priorities of Democrat lawmakers.
“Right, so they are going to go to bat for due process for MS-13 wife beaters,” he concluded.
The controversy comes as Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) recently filed seven articles of impeachment against President Trump, a move Kilmeade referenced when questioning the judgment of Democrats in competitive districts who support such actions.
The fiery discussion highlights the growing tensions between the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies and the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce stricter border security and detention policies.
