Two comedians who threatened “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade on a New York City subway Friday decided to take down their video after widespread criticism.
Per The Hill:
The video shows two men, Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler, following Kilmeade onto a New York City subway while accusing him of sexual harassment of former “Fox & Friends” host Gretchen Carlson, who has never made an accusation against Kilmeade.
The pair also said Kilmeade “says lots of weird, racisty stuff on the news a lot,” prompting some passengers to start yelling at the host.
“Hey everyone, this is Brian Kilmeade, he says lots of weird, kinda racisty stuff on the news a lot,” Stiefler screamed while Selvig stood next to Kilmeade.
“This is the closest personal adviser to Donald Trump, the ‘Fox & Friends’ host Brian Kilmeade. If you have anything you want Donald Trump to say or do, tell this guy, ’cause he’s the only person in America that Donald Trump listens to.”
Kilmeade ignored taunts by passengers while speaking on his cell phone.
Over the weekend, the veteran reporter’s colleagues took to Twitter in a show of support while criticizing leftists’ penchant for inciting strife.
My friend @kilmeade was harassed in the nyc subway yesterday. He is one of the nicest people I know. Where do we draw the line? Why do people think they’re above the law? Can you imagine if this was a @CNN or @MSNBC host or a woman? It’s outrageous, sick and dangerous.

This is so maddening. No one should endure this harassment, especially someone as kind and wonderful as @kilmeade. https://t.co/jlqC5erG0b

Keep it up leftist loons. Your hate, intolerance, and utter lack of basic human decency and common courtesy toward a truly good guy like @kilmeade and his classy response gives America a clear choice. https://t.co/LWR9UE0Q9G

Honest question @jasonselvig what’s your plan if one of your targets get hurt in the process of you making stalking videos and trying to be funny? Will you just stand by and film? @kilmeade
