Fox host Brian Kilmeade is drawing criticism from supporters of former President Donald Trump for his apparent unawareness of a screening of the film Sound of Freedom at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey club. This event took place just a day before Kilmeade’s interview with the movie’s producer, Eduardo Verastegui, and lead actor, Jim Caviezel.
Viewers might have found Caviezel’s labeling of Trump as “the new Moses” the most noteworthy part of the interview, but it was Kilmeade’s ignorance of the screening that provoked outrage among right-wing personalities and Trump fans.
Critics of Kilmeade accuse him of acting cluelessly and displaying extreme unprofessionalism by not being informed about Trump’s screening. This led to a sharp rebuke from pro-Trump commentator Laura Loomer, who described Kilmeade as “passive-aggressive,” “antagonistic,” and “incredibly unprofessional.” Her tweet sparked a flurry of responses from people expressing their intense dislike for the Fox News host.
Some even made unfounded speculations about Kilmeade’s conduct during the interview, implying he might be involved in child trafficking.
The blunder made by Kilmeade is perceived by Trump fans as either an indication of Fox’s support for DeSantis or a demonstration of its anti-Trump bias.
