Fox & Friends Joke about Rice Video: ‘The Message Is: Take the Stairs’

The hosts of Fox & Friends discussed the video of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching then-fiancée Janay Palmer Monday morning and reminded everybody that Palmer “still married” Rice, just as Rihanna had gone back to Chris Brown — “a terrible message,” cohost Brian Kilmeade noted, referring to Palmer and Rihanna.

The hosts also noted that the fight between Jay-Z and Solange Knowles had occurred in an elevator.

“The message is, take the stairs,” Kilmeade said.

“The message is, when you’re in an elevator, there’s a camera,” Steve Doocy said.

Domestic abuse and levity, together at last.

UPDATE: A Fox News spokesperson told WaPo’s Erik Wemple that Fox & Friends will address the issue tomorrow.
