Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested using “involuntary lethal injection” to kill homeless people with mental illness during a September 10, 2025 segment of “Fox & Friends”[1]. The comments came during a discussion about the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a homeless person with schizophrenia in North Carolina[2].
After co-host Lawrence Jones argued that homeless people should be forced to accept help or face jail time, Kilmeade interjected: “Or involuntary lethal injection… or something. Just kill 'em”[3]. His co-hosts briefly acknowledged the comment before continuing their discussion[4].
The remarks sparked widespread condemnation. Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia tweeted: “America’s homeless population includes over a million children and tens of thousands of veterans, many of whom served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nobody deserves to be murdered by the government for mental illness or poverty”[1:1].
California Governor Gavin Newsom responded by quoting Proverbs 21:13: “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered”[3:1].

I actually prefer this honesty from them. We all know they already thought this and worse. Let them speak their minds and show us how repugnant they are. They’re nazis, let it show.
Scumfuck wants a white world around him.
But they get upset when we call them Nazis.
Bet he’s not fired
Just remember, if you’re working class you’re never more than three bad months away from homelessness
Which is fine because he wasn’t drawing attention to the known facts that Charlie Kirk was a divisive fascist and the president is sitting on evidence that he, the president, is a pedophile.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine is now openly calling for a systematic, government program to murder an entire large demographic group that makes them uncomfortable.
What a cunt.
Newsom is in no position to criticize Kilmeade’s abhorrent views.
I was about to say, didn’t he destroy a homeless camp as a photo-op?
lol as a photo op? try as public policy
Themselves included?
I knew it was gonna piss me off but I still watched it.
Suggesting slaughtering hundreds of thousands of unhoused people? Hell yeah!
Laughing at Charli Kirk getting smoked? But he had a family!!!
If anyone can call for murder of anyone simply for being inconvenient, how long until people call for the murder of people like Brian Kilmeade?
Do the Brians seriously not see that coming?
Do those fucktards really think their opponents will forever try to stay on the moral high ground?
The future may hold some surprises for them, but not the kind of surprise they will like.California Governor Gavin Newsom responded by quoting Proverbs 21:13: “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered”
Holy shit that is gruesome even for Gruesome Newsom
Odd, I kinda feel the same way about Brian Kilmeades.
Imagine him introducing himself as “I’m Brian, Kill Me…” and before he gets to finish the sentence, you do him the favour!
For some reason I am imagining this as an anime scene and I don’t even watch anime.
Reminder this guy 16 years ago used overt white supremacist language on Fox and Friends and still kept his job.
