Doocy vs. Kilmeade

There is no doubt that Fox News host Brian Kilmeade is a Donald Trump fanboy and in his mind, Trump can do no wrong.

So, it’s always interesting to watch Kilmeade get his panties in a knot when someone speaks ill of Trump.

On Friday, the Fox and Friends folks were talking about the possible indictment of Trump for leading the insurrection on January 6th.

Kilmeade says that Trump was merely “protesting the election” and didn’t do anything wrong.

Stave Doocy chimed in with some facts and at one point you thought Kilmeade might implode.

STEVE DOOCY: It sounds like from what we’ve seen and what lawyers have said to the press behind the scenes and stuff like that, it sounds like it’s more than just protesting that he lost the election.

It sounds like they’ve assembled evidence about tactics that the former president used to try to hold on to power after he lost in 2020, assembling slates of so-called fake electors from swing states that the president had at that point lost, pressured state officials to block or delay Joe Biden’s win. And, of course, famously on January 6th, tried to persuade the vice president not to certify the election results in the Electoral College. That’s just some of the stuff that could be involved. Remember…

BRIAN KILMEADE: We KNOW all that!

STEVE DOOCY: All we know for sure is, according to this source at ABC, there are three federal statutes. We don’t know exactly the evidence. We just know that that is the case that has been levied against him in the past.

BRIAN KILMEADE: And Jack Smith loves to overcharge and fail spectacularly like he did with Edwards…

STEVE DOOCY: Well, let’s see…

At that point, it looked like Kilmeade was about to cry and take his ball and go home.
