Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume told "The Story" Wednesday night that America is more divided right now than at any point in his life, adding that even the period of strife in the late 1960s over the Vietnam War "wasn't as bad as this."
"This is as bad as it's ever gotten [except] perhaps [during] the Civil War," Hume told host Martha MacCallum. "So the challenge for leaders at a time like this is [to] attempt to tamp us down, how we find places to agree, because this is poisonous to our country."
Hume credited President Trump for making a video statement Wednesday evening in which the president said he "unequivocally" condemned last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol. However, the analyst wondered whether the message had come too late.
He added that, while Trump bears responsibility for spreading false claims about election irregularities, President-elect Joe Biden didn't help the situation by suggesting last week that police treated the rioters lightly because the crowd was mostly White.
"There are a lot of people in this country who believe that we are a nation of systemic racism," Hume said. "But there are a great many who believe we are not. It's a point of deep division in this country, so why he [Biden] would choose on that occasion to feed that is a good question.
"He has the job now of trying to unify things. One way you could do it is if you could call off the impeachment dogs, but it may be too late for that."

We can’t separate from them because they want our money/wealth. They won’t let us separate.
I stopped reading there.
Blah blah blah
Joe Biden might be James Buchanan, powerless to stop the Civil War because he is a figurehead and he cannot rein in the radical left.
Agreed, Brit remember Kent State? Dem National Convention? SDS? Weathermen? Assassinations? Detroit?
Unity? What a joke! Both sides would like to pick up a gun and have at it.
Et tu Brit.
I never knew ye.
I know, right?
That is where to start if this is ever going to be righted.
ABSOLUTELY!
Hey Britt
You’re part of the problem
Yes but that bunch didn’t all hate America as much as this bunch
It’s a cabal of the disaffected
Drunk on power
An actual civil war here
Wither like the first one
Or the English or Spanish versions
Would bring the whole world to its knees
And be destructive on a scale rivaling Pol Pot
I prefer we break up nominally on cultural perspectives and maintain trade and self defense alliance
“note how they ignore their massive role in it”
Obama used to do the same thing. They create a problem and then talk about it like they’re not responsible for it.
Seeing as half the country loves America as founded, and the other half hates America and blames every world ill on the country, I don’t think the country is divided. I’d say it’s at war.
you wouldn't know evidence if it sat on your fat cocky nose....
we are mad, very mad at the election that got openly stolen from us and we will remain mad until its corrected...
“He added that, while Trump bears responsibility for spreading false claims about election irregularities....”
This BS is why I do not watch Fox anymore.
Washington said “It’s better to be alone than in bad company”.
Democrats = amoral degenerates.
Glad I do not have children.
