'Fox and Friends' Host Is Getting Dragged For His Bonkers Comparison of Migrant Detention Facilities to a House Party

'Fox and Friends' Host Is Getting Dragged For His Bonkers Comparison of Migrant Detention Facilities to a House Party
Fox News

Hoo boy.

Members of congress who toured migrant detention centers in Texas on Monday recounted the squalid conditions that undocumented migrants in the overcrowded facilities are living in. Multiple representatives said that migrants were told to drink from the toilet, were going days without showers, and living with 15 people in one cell.

Yet Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade likened the situation simply to an overcrowded house party.


Watch below:

Kilmeade said:

"Here's the thing. Picture yourself, you have a house, family of five. You have a party, you have 30 people over. Maybe you have a big party and you have 100 people over and you have two and a half baths. In the beginning, it would be OK with 30. Then after 100 people, it would be a little bit taxed, maybe you got to get an outdoor facility. Can you picture 5,000?

He went on to compare the facilities to an overcrowded hotel, asserting that conditions would be unsatisfactory in any facility so overcrowded.

People quickly pointed out why these analogies don't hold up—including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who recently toured one of the facilities.

Members of Congress who actually toured the concentration camps, made it clear they were anything but a party.

Awareness of the facilities' conditions is steadily growing, as is the outrage.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
