Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade apologized for comments he made about homeless individuals during a recent segment. He said that in the morning, they discussed how to stop attacks by mentally ill assailants, and incorrectly suggested lethal injections as an option. Kilmeade acknowledged that not all mentally ill people are violent and called for empathy and compassion towards those struggling with homelessness.
In another part of the discussion, co-host Lawrence Jones suggested institutionalizing or jailing people without access to mental health programs, arguing that some don’t want help and should face consequences. However, it was only after his comments were shared on social media that Kilmeade apologized for suggesting lethal injections.
Kilmeade’s apology comes after an attack in Charlotte, North Carolina, where a refugee from Ukraine was killed by someone with a prior criminal record. The incident has highlighted the need for effective solutions to address homelessness and mental health issues, which some say are exacerbated by funding cuts under former President Ronald Reagan.
