‘Idiots!’ Brian Kilmeade Goes OFF on Pro-Palestine Protests Tying Up NYC Traffic: ‘I Have Things to Do, I Have to Get Some Places’

 

The co-hosts of Fox & Friends were none too pleased by pro-Palestinian protestors who blocked the Manhattan Bridge Sunday in New York City, but it was Brian Kilmeade’s commentary that likely resonated the most with Fox News viewers.

“Idiots,” he said disgustedly as images culled from TikTok (!) of the protests played for viewers.

“A pro-Palestinian demonstration essentially stopped traffic on one of the busiest days of the travel year,” said Steve Doocy as he introduced the segment. “And the interesting thing is they were calling for a cease-fire, even though that was day three of the cease-fire,” he added, which led to Kilmeade’s “idiots” comment.

“Organizers said, you know, ‘there’s widespread support from people in New York City to do this,'” Doocy added. “I got news for the organizers. People were furious they could not get across the bridge.”

But for anyone delayed because of a protest, Kilmeade hit a note that will surely resonate, especially for the largely pro-Israel audience of Fox News viewers:

So it’s insane because I was leaving Giants Stadium yesterday, and everybody is through surface roads, and you could not get anywhere, any way on this type of day leaving the stadium of 60,000 people. And then this. And you can hear people in some of the quotes in the story say, people, listen, I sympathize with you, but I have things to do. I have to get some places. You have these models going. I have a shoot I have to get done. And people have lives. They have to live. Who are you winning over by sitting on this bridge? You’re not changing anybody’s mind. And this mayor, to his credit, is firmly pro-Israel. And this for a Democratic president, is pro-Israel. What are these? People don’t even know what they’re doing.
