‘Oh Sh*t’: Charlie Kirk Gets Memorable Off-Camera Welcome on Fox News
An unknown voice declared, “Oh shit” as Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was introduced to Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle on Wednesday.
“Joining me now, someone who knows a little bit about this, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder,” introduced host Laura Ingraham, as an unknown person could be heard loudly saying, “Oh shit.”
Ignoring the interruption, Ingraham continued, “Charlie, it’s great to see you. Um, do you trust that Zuckerberg and these other CEOs have really turned a corner?”
“Well, they’ve performatively turned a corner, which is a good first step,” replied Kirk:
Just to think that on the deus, you’re going to have Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos, who back in 2017, they were just boycotting the inauguration. Back in 2017, the first inauguration was met with resistance, marches, protests, people saying they’re gonna leave the country, fighting Trump tooth and nail. Remember that Washington Post op-ed? Thirty minutes after the inauguration saying, “The resistance starts right now.” Whereas now in the Trump second term, it’s really the acquiescence. It is the bending of the knee.
The loud expletive was quickly picked up on social media, with dozens of viewers posting their own clips of the moment.
“In fairness this is the sound i make when Charlie Kirk is on my TV,” mocked journalist Aaron Rupar.
A source at Fox News told Mediaite that the remark was the result of an accident involving another guest’s microphone.
“The audio operator accidentally slid the wrong fader which was allotted for a different guest,” said the source. “That guest in turn was adjusting his IFB at the time and said ‘oh s***’ which was accidentally transmitted on the air.”
In November, a similar blunder took place, during which an unknown person could be heard saying, “Oh lord,” after Fox News anchor Bret Baier remarked that Elon Musk could be the future of the Republican Party.
