The latest example: While subbing for Tucker Carlson Thursday night, and amid all the hatred already being directed at the magistrate judge who signed the warrant allowing the FBI to search Mar-a-Lago, Brian Kilmeade showed what he called an “embarrassing” picture of the judge “getting cozy” with Ghislaine Maxwell. Except it was, pretty obviously, a photo of Maxwell with Jeffrey Epstein, with the judge’s face photoshopped in over Epstein’s. (To his credit, as Kilmeade tossed to him, Sean Hannity pointed out what the picture actually showed, though he didn’t outright say Kilmeade was wrong.)
On Friday, Kilmeade tweeted out a non-apology: "Last night while subbing for Tucker Carlson, we showed you an image of Judge Bruce Reinhart w/ Ghislaine Maxwell that was sourced on screen to a meme pulled from Twitter & wasn’t real. This depiction never took place & we wanted to make clear that we were showing a meme in jest.”
Do something positive.
