de Blasio asked about defunding the police and mocks it by comparing it to “Imagine" by John Lennon

“For folks who say 'defund the police,' I would say that is not the way forward"

@kilmeade Ummmm, Lennon was shot. In NYC. By a white guy. And he'd be organizing a protest were he here. You might want to start thinking things through before you speak bc your statements are getting more bizarre by the day. You have no grasp of truth or history.

What makes it so utterly SNL'ish/The Onion, they genuinely don't seem to know how ludicrous their asinine babble is when stack up against FACTS/REALITY.

It seems Brian Kilmeade hasn't managed to read all the way to the end of John Lennon's Wikipedia page yet https://t.co/XVUsE6oR5q

Brian Kilmeade is a powerfully stupid person, and he just gets dumber, it's actually quite incredible

Kilmeade kills me. The once UFC commentator with no discernable MA skills or training brings the same to Fox in the morning. He just continues to say the dumbest things at the worst time.

Not gonna lie, this @kilmeade clip where he says, “John Lennon wouldn't be safe in New York City right now, he'd be hiding in his apartment" is the funniest thing I've seen all weekpic.twitter.com/UGULgj8CAn

John Lennon would be at the protests, no doubt right at the front.

"The concert was originally to have been racially segregated, but The Beatles refused to perform"

Had John Lennon not been killed by a white, Southern evangelical who flew to NYC *for the sole purpose of shooting him*, he would be marching every single day. Keep Lennon's name out of your mouth, @kilmeade. https://t.co/FOTAU0aKy8
