Viewers have tuned in to Fox & Friends for decades, listening to various coverage of current events. Notably, a shift in politics saw one host in particular go into a rant during a recent episode. This also isn’t the first time that the host shared such sentiments with viewers.
A Recent Election Was A Topic Of Debate On Fox & Friends
Fox & Friends is a daily morning news and talk program airing on Fox News. The series premiered in early 1998.
The series is currently hosted by Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones on weekdays. Meanwhile, Rachel Campos-Duffy, Charles Hurt and Griff Jenkins work on the show’s weekend edition.
Recently, one of the hosts made headlines after launching into a rant while discussing an election loss. This notably came out after Democrat Eileen Higgins beat Republican candidate Emilio Gonzalez in Miami’s mayoral race. As noted by The U.S. Express, this made her the first Democrat in three decades, as well as the first woman, to secure the role.
In an episode of Fox & Friends airing December 10, Brian Kilmeade talked about the losses the Republican Party has been facing at the ballot box over these past months. At the time, he shared, “Look at the numbers, get the experts in there, and if the numbers show the Hispanic vote went heavily for the Democrat, that is a warning sign for next year.”
Kilmeade continued, focusing on the importance of the Hispanic vote. He shared, “If the administration does not win the Hispanic vote, the Texas redistricting will not work because it’s all based on the president continuing to get 46% of the Hispanic vote.”
Following this, Kilmeade hinted that members of the Hispanic community “are misreading the president’s aggressive policies” in regards to immigration. He added, “They don’t necessarily love the aggressive tactics going to Home Depot or landscape trucks, dragging people off. The perception is they’re being grabbed because they’re Hispanics.”
Brian Kilmeade Had Previously Discussed The Hispanic Vote Two Days Earlier
Kilmeade also said that the party should “examine” its stance on illegal immigration. As he noted, “It got [Trump] elected.” However, he felt that “He is ostracizing a large chunk of the population in certain areas.”
This isn’t the first time Kilmeade discussed similar sentiments. Two days before, he warned Trump that the party was losing the Hispanic vote.
At the time, Kilmeade shared, “Some of them are misreading the aggressive tactics of ICE and taking it on the whole Hispanic community. They feel as though they’ve been too broadly targeted. And that’s why the president’s numbers are coming down with Hispanics.”
