Outrage as Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggests the mentally ill should be euthanized : 'Just kill them'
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 13, 2025 | Joe Hutchison

A Fox News presenter suggested during a live segment that people struggling with homelessness and mental health issues should be executed.

Brian Kilmeade made the comments on the network's flagship talk show Fox and Friends on Wednesday alongside co-hosts Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt.

The trio had been discussing the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska who was killed while on a bus when Kilmeade made the now heavily criticized remark.

Jones suggested that people not taking up programs to help those battling mental health and homelessness should be locked up, when Kilmeade went nuclear.

'Or involuntary lethal or something, just kill them', he said - with the comment passing by his cohosts who looked completely unfazed by the remark.

Earhardt added: 'Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point?', failing to comment on his suggestion.

Kilmeade then proceeded to say that cities with large homeless populations were voting for the wrong leaders, urging those in North Carolina to 'wake up'.

Zarutska was murdered in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 22 after being stabbed in the neck, suspect Decarlos Brown is accused of killing her.

The country is 37 trillion dollars in debt but that is not the solution by a longshot.

I’m with Brian on this one. They are a waste of air. They put rabid dogs down. Why not rabid trannies? The trannie bastards are running up one heck of a body count.

I sure understand the sentiment.

These people have to be locked up or get the death penalty.

People need to shoot to kill someone physically attacking them or someone else. It is self-defense.

Instead, we coddle the insane and give them more leeway.

The incurably violent mental cases should be put on a "Devils Island" far removed from humankind.

Not “kill” them. “Abort” them.

It is socially acceptable to abort disabled people these days.

No way.
Humanity already went down this road before.
We, as people, cannot afford to start something we know we cannot stop before millions die.

Who do you want to decide is “”mentally ill” enough to require a lethal solution?”

This is the last thing we need right now.

Did he really say this, and where?

But...but...that would get rid of most of the press and the Democrats' constituency, wouldn't it?

The only exception would be perdinavititis. /Chesterton, The Ball and the Cross>

This is “right up there” for a political unforced error by a prominent Republican.
Hope Fox fixes it.

If he really did say this, he's going to be fired.
Fox News has fired big names before. They'll do it again.

IF he said it, it’s appalling. But it’s hard to know if anything online is true anymore.

Brian’s ill thought out and insensitive comments are up there with those who cheered Charlie Kirk’s death. People have loved ones who suffer from a mental illness. Shame on you Brian—I thought you were better than that.

For what? It may not be the best solution, or the most righteous solution, but it’s a defensible solution (in the context of exploring the solution space).
