After the fatal shooting of Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk, Fox News host Jesse Watters blamed the left for the killing and called for revenge. Watters told viewers, "They are at war with us. In an article published on October 1, Salon's Sophia Tesfaye describes a pattern of violent rhetoric at Fox News. We need to destroy it.”Meanwhile, on Fox News' morning show, "Fox & Friends," host Brian Kilmeade called for homeless Americans to be given "involuntary lethal injection" — although he later apologized for his "extremely callous remark." "When Fox News figures casually invoke mass violence, whether through forced lethal injections or bombing international institutions, it's not just reckless rhetoric — it's a flirtation with incitement," Tesfaye argues.
