Mediaite reports:
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade channeled his inner Howard Cosell while doing a bit about the recent falling of the White House Christmas Tree due to high winds.
After a decent wind-up that explained the details of the story, Kilmeade delivered a solid payoff with “Down goes the Fraser fir!” which was a clear reference to Cosell’s famous “Down goes Frazier!” call of a Joe Frazier knockdown at the hands of Mohammed Ali in 1973.
Ainsley Earhardt read a tweet from noted Twitter troll Jim Jordan and his House Judiciary GOP social media account that read, “National Christmas tree falls down perfectly summing up Joe Biden’s presidency.”
Read the full article. As you might remember, in 2021 the Christmas tree outside of Fox’s Manhattan corporate office went up in flames after being torched by a homeless person. As you can see below, Fox personalities called the incident a “hate crime” and compared it to the attack on Pearl Harbor. RNC chair Ronna McDaniel appeared on Fox to blame Democrats for the arson.
