RACISM
‘Stone Cold Racist’: Internet Flogs ‘Fox & Friends’ Host for Saying Migrant Kids Aren’t as Important as US Kids

‘Just Went Full Goebbels’
“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade once again is under fire for sharing his racist views on the Fox News morning show. On Friday Kilmeade weighed in on the 2400 or so migrant children who were kidnapped by the Trump administration, are being held hostage, and likely will not be reunited with their parents.
“Like it or not, these aren’t our kids,” Kilmeade told his co-hosts. “Show them compassion, but it’s not like [Trump is] doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas. These are people from another country.”

In other words, kids from Central America aren’t as important as kids from the US. (So much for “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.”)
This is far from his first dance with racism. It was just Tuesday that Kilmeade launched a racist attack against the immigrant children, claiming that “a lot of them” will turn into MS-13 gang members. And Kilmeade has lamented that Americans “keep marrying other species and other ethnics.”
Many on social media expressed outrage over yet another of Kilmeade’s racist rants.
The idea of treating children differently is appalling. And to do so so to motivate a political agenda is even more so. Shameful. https://t.co/T2WnDlD46r

“These aren’t our kids.”@kilmeade is a racist. This is the definition of racism. This clip should hang around his neck for the rest of his life. (I’d say career, but in a just world anyone who spoke like this on TV in the 21st Century would no longer have one.) https://t.co/DD1rttlmGO

Kilmeade’s comment is incredibly revealing about the mindset of white supremacists. They know what they’re doing is morally wrong, so they have to create artificial differences between “our kids” and “them” to reconcile their cognitive dissonance. It’s Dehumanization 101.

@kilmeade is a racist POS . Has taken to being quite obvious about it, as this story goes on.
Look @FoxNews viewers. This is your thing, racism. But no way in hell is it the position of the vast majority.
Your little propaganda network only works on old white people anyways. https://t.co/DXUtsh40FI

Hey @kilmeade, nobody is saying the people coming from Mexico and South America are more important than citizens in the United States, your spin for @realDonaldTrump is ridiculous. It’s expected though since you work for the propaganda network @FoxNews. https://t.co/PaIJva4mXr

Like his Nazi predecessors, @kilmeade makes the distinction between the “good” and “bad” people clear https://t.co/6aGXe3Tcu1

Somebody sing him the Jesus loves the little children song, please. Maybe save his ghoulish, racist soul.

This is disgusting – they’re all just openly racist and xenophobic now. Fox needs to be taken off the air.
