A Fox News presenter snapped at a sixth-grader for praising Joe Biden – the best takedowns

A Fox & Friends host, Brian Kilmeade, lost both his control of the narrative and his temper when a sixth-grader – which means an 11- or 12-year-old – praised President Biden’s handling of the pandemic.

“Yeah, well – my friend said that stuff first, so there!” – to paraphrase. We’re only surprised he didn’t break out the “I’m rubber, you’re glue …” zinger.

We’re happy to report that Kilmeade’s outburst earned him some entertaining takedowns.

The fact that he’d be like this toward a child *who’s correct* is telling. Yuck. https://t.co/bxvv5T0wtp

Kilmeade is a great example of the idiots who think that a president saying “I want every kid back in school” is the same as actually enacting policies that make it safe for kids to go back to school. https://t.co/0mKR1Dlh3t

Wow. The Trump reflex is very strong – like when a doctor taps your knee with a rubber hammer and you can’t help but kick. https://t.co/iKDGdP1JJ8

Brian Kilmeade just tried to fact-check a 6th grader and failed miserably.

When will Fox finally remove News from their name?pic.twitter.com/Y077VOEU4f

Kids should not be allowed to appear on Fox News. Its anti-intellectual porn on it’s best day but it was pretty fun to see Brian Kilmeade get body-checked by a sixth grader.

In conclusion –

been thinking lately that the news doesn’t have enough adults trying to totally own small children, thank u for stepping up @kilmeade https://t.co/UzGpRui3d4

But also …here he is hitting a 2-year-old in the face with a basketball, then laughing.

Brian Kilmeade is trending because he was a dick to a 6th grader.
