I don't buy their fake apologies. He said it, he meant it. When people show you who they are, believe them.

Don't care fire him
From a cannon.
Into the sun.
from a missile silo, or a torpedo tube in a submarine.
Off into job-land.
Why not lose his job like some others did last week for saying things?
They said anti-Nazi things though.
Because Fox's entire corporate structure agrees with him.
You'd have to have ethics. Billionaire news stations just have billionaire opinions that they use talking heads like this nazi to spread. This is just what the rich class think: "Murder all homeless people! Now! No laws. No reality. Just murder."
But of course he'll get to keep his job.
The apology literally does not matter.
The fact is, for all three of them - they felt perfectly comfortable saying that unhoused people and people with mental health issues should be murdered by the state. Without flinching. On a very popular national television show.
And the network broadcast it. Not a single person involved in "Should we let this go to air?" went "Hold the fuck on." The network hasn't suspended anyone, hasn't put the show on hold while they think about what they should be doing here, and so far as I know hasn't said a fucking word about it.
Yes, there are a lot of people condemning these statements, rightly so. Take serious notice of who isn't. They're okay with state-sponsored murder of people who have not committed any crime.
I've said this before: If they come for you, you're going. Fight like your life depends on it, because it does. Fight like all of our lives depend on it, because they do.
Winter is coming.
Point out Kirk showed division and promoted violence: firing
Openly advocating the murder of mentally ill homeless people: keep your job as long as you issue a mandated 'apology'
Fuck this country.
It's pretty twisted, for sure.
*sowed
"* They're okay with state-sponsored murder of people who have not committed any crime."
And thats why they keep trying to make being homeless or any activity that homeless people do illegal.
the right doesn't care if you apologize for your words. he said it, fire him.
And yet he’s still employed after calling for The Final Solution on live TV.
But god forbid someone remind others that Charlie Kirk was a fascist christian nationalist neo-nazi who praised and advocated for the murder of children and minorities. That would be wrong.
how about reconsidering your position instead of just regretting saying you support eugenics out loud?
and saying it on the weekened instead of primetime fox, when everyone is watching fox at the time.
"Geez fine I'm sorry is that better? You want me to say 'I don't want to televise the killing of homeless veterans?' Even though it would be rippin? God the left has no heart."
I don't want his fucking apology, I want him fired asap. The right are having anyone who criticized Kirk death fired. Well this hateful bullshit should get him fired too. I want website dedicated to getting everyone on that show fired.
Why not apologize on Monday morning when all of your viewers are watching?
For that matter, why say it in the first place?
It's not like he was reading a bunch of statistics and came up with this as an informed opinion. No, out of nowhere he just decided that it was okay to murder millions of innocent Americans.
This is not an opinion that a moral person can say, even accidentally.
And he felt safe advocating for it on national television.

Fox always does this. Say all the Big Lies or slander on primetime and repeat them loud and proud many times to reinforce the propaganda for maximum effect, then trot out the apologies/corrections in a quick, "I'm literally looking at a piece of paper to read this as a boring footnote" at midnight or as a tiny footnote on their website.
Allows deniability that they lied/slandered ("we issued a correction/apology!" but keeps all the benefits of the lies and slander.
“Oops pushed it a little too far there, I’ll try again after Heir Trumps death squads do more sweeps.”
Wasn't there a guy on another network (MSNBC?) that was fired even AFTER he apologized for making Charlie Kirk remarks?
He was fired for saying hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions. That was all.
Also a columnist from the Washington Post was fired for simply mentioning a real Kirk quote:
Black women “do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously."...
“You have to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.”
I've noticed a bunch of these rags are saying her quote was "untrue" but it seems it was real, according to Snopes at least. Revisionist history at work in real time.
Yup, that's the one. I forgot about that poor woman. The irony of her being fired for using his words, while he was honored for them.
He didn't even make a Charlie Kirk remark he simply said hate begets hate.
Yes, but I can understand how it was offensive. He was saying that, hey you might face the consequences of your words as if being killed for speaking was ok. But he apologized for that and was still fired, while this guy literally said people should be killed for being mentally ill. Way worse. Apparently apologizing for horrible speech is ok on Fox News. You don't even have to be sincere. Again the irony is HE'S mentally ill!
Wtf was going on with the Universe and last Wednesday in particular that made everybody act like they were living through a wild fever fueled nightmare?
I definitely think he probably would have said that regardless, but the fact that last Wednesday in particular was just so jam packed with surreal what the fuck is actually happening moments. Was it some kind of secret right wing day of significance that didn't go according to plan? Something in the air? Weird planetary alignments?
That whole day kicked off with Russian drones "accidentally" going into Polish airspace right before midnight in Poland.
This guy apparently lets his genocidal fantasy for undesirable populations slip on air, which ends up being too much for even Fox News to just brush off as casual commentary
Then the House and Senate try to get Republicans to tell them wtf is in the Epstein/J.P. Morgan/Peter Thiel/Elon Musk files, but they are blocked.
Then before anybody can even really notice that happened, Charlie Kirk is assassinated. Some old man in the crowd immediately screams he did it and tells the crowd to shoot him. He ends up hauled off in handcuffs with his pants around his ankles. It turns out he's just a local well known right wing political agitator, who also slept on a cot in Ronald Reagan's secretary of education's hotel room at the '88 Republican National Convention? As he's being hauled away with his pants down, the real killer jumps from a roof and escapes.
Then some guy with a pellet gun is arrested and released.
Then we finally end the night with Trump calling Kirk a martyr for free speech and Trump accusing the vitriol of the left (again the same day Fox News talks about executing homeless people) of being responsible for Kirk's murder.
We all go to bed with no clue wtf is actually happening before easing into the next day, which happens to be the anniversary of 9/11.
Wtf was that day?
Thank you for recognizing this. I felt crazy but it really did seem like everything bumped up a notch last week.

This piece of human shit should have been fired on the spot.
I went to type a sarcastic, more absurd analogy but I couldn't get much crazier than "be rich or be executed".

This is a guy who said who stated ”We (America) need to keep the bloodlines pure” sixteen years ago on tv. I don’t believe he is sincere
Just like JD Vance and his techbros have said.
Oh and charlie kirk. Lovable, sweet, truly good guy, charlie kirk. Had this to say:
We shouldn't put up with it. They should be in mental institutions, put them in mental asylums, or give them, you know, a meal or some shelter. Treat them humanely, but get them off the streets. Enough. Okay? The vagrancy, the defecation, the drug usage, the sexual assaults, you know, look, the streets are not your home. Okay? We have to have order. You have to, clean up the filth, okay? Enough. The humane thing to do is to put them somewhere that is not on the streets.
There's a lot of reasons to dislike Charlie Kirk, but that quote is kinda reasonable?
We should take better care of people with severe mental illnesses. Sometimes that means they should be compelled into treatment. It's not a good thing that someone struggling with severe mental illness is just left out on the street, and many will not seek help due to those self-same illnesses. A person with schizophrenia is extremely likely to flee from help due to the intense paranoia.
It is the humane thing to do to get them off the streets and into a place where they can be taken care of. And while asylums have a pretty grotesque history, it's one of the worst legacies of the Reagan administration that they were done away with. Massive reform was needed, and a better structure for making sure people weren't just locked away indefinitely. More oversight and regulation, no question. But the solution we went with of just turning them all out on the street to live in tents is a huge injustice to them.
He calls them filth.
Whatever he said, that's how he thought of them.
Filthy people with mental disorders.
That's how morally narrow minded he was.

Yes such a tragedy we will be without kirk's contributions to society, he was such a uh, uh, something something.
This kilmeade guy is a real pos, these are just the first others they want to Target, there is a very strong backlash against the homeless in blue and red States so they want to set the precedent on this.
There is no bottom or end to this though. The ones supporting such things will be subjected to it themselves in time. And not as much time as one might think.
Straight into the abyss, without strong opposition leadership we are going full Nazi here you better believe it.

Hm, isn't this part of the Nazi platform? Didn't they go after trans and the disabled first?
I'm surprised a mouthpiece on state media is being made to apologize. I just figured this was in their plans for Gilead.
" . . . saying his remark was “extremely callous.”
Fark you. Take your Sad Trombone and cram the whole thing right up your pee hole, you snarky little troll.
"No? Too far? Aright 'sorry', let's move on."
Schrödinger's douchebag. "If you're offended, then it was just a joke!"
And then he was fired, right? Just like all of the people who got fired for saying Charlie Kirk wasn't a nice guy. Right?
