Fox News anchor Shepard Smith abruptly cut off an interview on Monday with a French commentator floating conspiracy theories about the fire burning at Notre Dame.
Smith’s guest was French media analyst and former elected official Philippe Karsenty, who said the blaze burning at the Parisian landmark was "like a 9/11."
ADVERTISEMENT "It’s like a 9/11. It’s a French 9/11. It’s a big shock," Karsenty said. "The church was there for more than 850 years. Even the Nazis didn't dare to destroy it."
He said there have been churches "desecrated each and every week in France, all over France" in recent years.
"So, of course, you will hear the story of the political correctness which will tell you it’s probably an accident," Karsenty said before Smith interrupted.
"Sir, sir, sir, we’re not going to speculate here of the cause of something which we don’t know," Smith said. "If you have observations or you know something, we would love to hear it."
Karsenty said that he was warning viewers that they "need to be ready" before Smith cut his guest off again.
"No, sir, we’re not doing that here, not now, not on my watch," Smith said before ending the interview with Karsenty.
Smith noted that officials suspect that the fire started in the rear of the cathedral, reportedly linked to restoration efforts.
"We are thousands of miles away, and the man on the phone with us has absolutely no information of any kind about the origin of this fire, and neither do I," Smith told viewers.
"The fire investigators will at some point come to a determination about what caused this, and conspiracy theories about anything are worthless and in many cases counterproductive and injurious to society," he added. "And those who entertain them are not acting...

Just wait. The jihadist will throw him off a roof. Or cut his head off. Muslims don’t like open fags. Hump a goat is ok. I don’t understand their moral rules but apparently 1 billion of them do. Shep is going down and not the way he wants.
Only thing on Fox worse than Shep is Juan. Don’t watch Fox anymore.
“Shuts Down”....stupid Hill fascists actually celebrating this censorship
I don’t. Can’t spare the stress. Saving it for trigger pulls. I hate “The news”.
If that was the intention it would have happened when the church was full of people and ALL its priceless art works.
Yeah but it is not in anyone’s interest to call it terrorism and it would cause a big panic during holy week.
So look for Google to bury stories about the last attack in 2016, the other French churches that were attacked in the leadup to this, and that the local French news reported the fire started in two different places as is reported elsewhere on this site.
Then the coverup will be complete.
Oh, yeah, and the workmen who supposedly started the fire weren’t on site when it started.
Nothing to see here.
Move on.
LEGOMAN did it?
As someone else (forgot to contribute his/her name) has already said -
No no no, arson has already been ruled out before the fire even started.
Shep will eat his own sh## soon. We know what has been happening to churches across France for months only the media will never tell you The evidence will never be shared and the narrative will be “it was an accident” to protect the Muslim invaders that are the life blood of the EU NWO globalists clean up crew in Europe.
It’s a valid concern.
The thing is, a real journalist could frame the terror concern. He could let the man speak his mind and then follow up with questions and relay to viewers that some in French society have these fears. But no. Native French are not entitled to fears or concerns especially since there were over 1000 incidences of desecration, vandalism AND arson in 2018.
French churches are coming increasingly under attack with an average of nearly three churches per day targetted for vandalism alone over the past three years.
A report from the Central Criminal Intelligence Service (SCRC) of the gendarmerie noted that from 2016 to 2018 there had been thousands of cases of church vandalism, peaking in 2017 with 1,045 cases, Le Figaro reports.
