Fox & Friends Host Brian Kilmeade's Comments Spark Disinformation Controversy

Jul 24, 2024, 02:32 PM

A controversy has erupted over comments made by Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade, with accusations that he used the term 'colored' instead of 'college' when referring to a sorority. Multiple sources, including Fox News and conservative commentators, have defended Kilmeade, asserting that he clearly said 'college.' The incident has led to accusations of disinformation and race-baiting against members of the media and political figures, including Jaime Harrison and Kamala Harris. Eugene Daniels of Politico has acknowledged the audio is garbled but stated he will take Kilmeade and his team at their word that the term used was 'college.' The White House Correspondents Association and the Democratic Party have been implicated in spreading what some are calling a 'race hoax.' Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones also claimed Kilmeade said 'college.'
