"GOV. TIM WALZ: And the attacks we see, we see a Fox News host on air talk about killing homeless people. And this week we saw eight homeless people shot in Minneapolis. And so, the consistency around this certainly isn't there, but none of this surprises me with Donald Trump. But, Chris, I think the thing I am concerned about is this is not overreacting. This is our responsibility now. Getting a democracy back after it's gone is a lot harder than defending it now."
"And so, I would just tell people this. And it's good to see good to see some of those conservative voices standing up and saying that because this one is not even close. This is outrageous. And Jimmy Kimmel's point and look, we can all speak, you know, inarticulately. We can make mistakes. We can step back. But the idea that they're going to chill speech just because it's critical"
Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade apologized for comments on the Sept. 10 episode advocating killing mentally ill homeless people and suggesting lethal injection for potentially violent patients who refuse offered resources. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz noted two separate incidents on Sept. 15 in Minneapolis in which eight homeless people were shot, and he contrasted the violence with the on-air remarks while expressing concern about escalating rhetoric tied to President Donald Trump. MSNBC host Chris Hayes clarified that there is no evidence connecting the rant to the shootings. Officials warned about defending democratic norms and avoiding efforts to chill critical speech.
