Brian Kilmeade, a Fox News anchor, has come under fire for saying the network sources his female colleagues by flipping through a Victoria’s Secret catalog and making sure “they went to college.”
Speaking on his radio show a guest caller complemented Fox News anchor Alisyn Camerota. She joins Kilmeade on his radio show and typically fills in for "Fox & Friends" host Gretchen Carlson.
The caller said, “I don't know who was the scout that got you guys, but they rock.”
Kilmeade responded by saying “It was actually - we go to the Victoria's Secret catalog and we said, "Can any of these people talk?" And they all could and they all went to college.”
Camerota said, “You're so crazy, Brian. Thank you very much, that's very sweet.”
However, exterior comments on Kilmeade’s explanation have not been so benign. Listeners on Twitter responded angrily.
One tweeter said, “They should rename the [Fox & Friends] Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest show” another said “What an ass.”
This is not the first times that Kilmeade has angered people with his sexist comments. His comments once led to Gretchen Carlson storming off set. He had said, “Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now.”
As she walked of the set of “Fox & Friends” she said, “Know what? You read the headlines, since men are so great. Go ahead.”
Carlson later returned to the set saying she was joking and Kilmeade managed to end the set by saying he was “pretty much not sexist.”

Please stop picking on the guy for telling the truth.

He's proof of Darwin's missing link, although his Fox News station (like the GOP) don't like science, evolution, global warming, or reality. Sexism from the 1950's is just fine though.

Kilmeade is an oaf, but he may be more correct about this than anyone would like to think. Example: Kimberly Guilfoyle, who's been on Fox for some years now, was in fact a VS model in the past--I'm sure some of you more industrious lads are already using da google to verify this. Said she did it to pay for law school, which, according to her CV, was at USF, a Jesuit university. When she lived here in San Francisco, she was married to our then-mayor Gavin Newsom, and seemed quite OK with being Little Miss Liberal; but when they divorced, she wound up at Fox, spouting the hardline rightwing agenda of the Murdoch empire. So--which one is it really, eh? Was she scamming the liberals in San Francisco, or scamming the rightists, or both? By the way, this also works (in reverse) for Arianna Huffington! --eaplatt

You libs have got to get a life. While you're at it, see if you can find where you misplaced your sense of humor.

I know he is talking about faux "news" entertainers and have to say he is correct they are just dumb and when you listen to them they really have nothing to say. They keep their legs apart and the cameras are right there
