Take it from an ally - this is a misleading headline.
The utterance was uttered in the context of things one would want to avoid. It doesn’t even strike me as a threat by Brian Kilmeade, and is more of a gaffe.
The whole clip is STILL a steamy shitty take.
They are saying “mental illness sufferers, particularly the subset who are inclined to commit public violence, need to ‘come to Jesus’ and take the overly-bountiful government assistance available to them. That silver bullet will cure them of their issues such that they’ll no longer threaten poor old me. And if any refuse, they deserve whatever else might happen to them which, as stated earlier, is to be involuntarily placed into a mental institution.”
And then Brian Kilmeade, the homunculus muppet that he is, thinks “I’m helping,” grabs the bag of Shake’n Bake his parents never gave him, and chimes in "and other bad things could happen, uhh hyuck, even inVoLuntaRy letHaL injEcTion (as a consequence of the implied context of a person who refuses help for their mental illness, who later takes a life during a mental episode, and who will suffer ramifications up to and including being tried for murder and sentenced to death).
Maybe it would have been a dog whistle call to violence if anyone other than Brian Kilmeade said it.
Maybe it’s foolish of me to disregard the words because the words were still aired, on a network with a vested interest in launching wind-up murder meatbots towards the left. If this is the point of the report, then this is a criminal choice of headline.
I think you’re suggesting that it’s misleading not to mention the initial “If they don’t take help” part of the statement, because it gives the impression that they want to kill everyone by default.
A more accurate title would be “Fox News host on mentally ill criminals who refuse help: ‘Just kill them’”
Hey friends,

No, the headline is a pretty accurate representation of the clip actually
I think you’re suggesting that it’s misleading not to mention the initial “If they don’t take help” part of the statement, because it gives the impression that they want to kill everyone by default.

I watched the whole clip. Your framing is more misleading than the headline.
