It all started with a live discussion on Wednesday (10.09.2025) on his Fox & Friends show Fox Newson the assassination of a young Ukrainian in North Carolina, in USAinvolving a 34 -year -old homeless with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. While his colleague, Lawrence Jones, argued that the homeless people with mental problems should accept treatment or imprisoned, Brian Kilmid threw the shocking phrase: “or a deadly injection … just kill them.”
The comments about the homeless They immediately caused criticism of criticism in the US, characterized by many aspects as “inhumane” and “stigmatizing”. The next day, Fox News presenter tried to gather the unmarried: “I apologize for this extremely harsh comment. Obviously I know that not all homeless people with mental disorders look like the suspect in North Carolina. Many deserve our understanding and compassion. “

This case comes at a time when the issue of crime and bourgeois noise is at the heart of political debate in the US. In many major cities, the noticeable increase in homeless feeds tensions between local lords, organizations and public opinion. For Kilmid critics, his words are an indication of a worrying trend: instead of promoting social and medical solutions, some powerful media choose to cultivate fear and stigma.
Mathew Dowd lost his gig at MSNBC for pointing out that Charlie Kirk had engaged in hate speech.
Meanwhile, Brian Kilmeade, openly suggests that we should euthanize the homeless and there’s zero outrage or repercussions.
