what did brian kilmeade say about lethal injection

Brian Kilmeade, a Fox News host, made a controversial remark during a "Fox & Friends" broadcast where he suggested that mentally ill homeless people should receive "involuntary lethal injection," saying "Just kill 'em." This comment was made in the context of discussing the stabbing murder of a young Ukrainian woman in North Carolina, allegedly by a homeless, mentally ill man. Kilmeade's comment sparked widespread backlash and criticism. Subsequently, Kilmeade apologized on a Sunday segment of "Fox & Friends" for his "extremely callous" remark. He acknowledged that he was wrong to suggest lethal injection and expressed awareness that not all homeless people with mental illness behave violently. He stated that many homeless individuals deserve empathy and compassion. Kilmeade also clarified that the initial comments were made in a conversation about preventing attacks by mentally ill homeless individuals, including options like institutionalization or incarceration to prevent violence, but mistakenly included lethal injection in his remarks. The apology was part of his attempt to address and retract the insensitive comment.
