Fox News Fires Contributor

Sep 27, 2018  •  Post A Comment

A contributor to Fox News who made derogatory remarks about Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers was fired by the channel. Variety reports that Fox News fired Kevin Jackson.

The move came after Jackson referred to Kavanaugh’s accusers as “lying skanks” as the Kavanaugh hearing played out Thursday, Variety reports.

Jackson, who has been a contributor on Fox for several years and is the author of the book “Race Pimping: The Multi-Trillion Dollar Business of Liberalism,” reportedly wrote on Twitter Thursday morning: “Feminists are their own worst enemies, and enemy of women. Also, they want men to NEVER be believed. I’m not succumbing. TO HELL with the notion that women must be believed no matter what. Lying skanks is what these 3 women are, and we ALL know more.”

  1. You can always count on hearing classy remarks from Republicans.

    • Oh trust me, the Democrats have had their fair share of idiotic remarks too. You have some pretty stupid people on both sides of the aisle . . . and if you don’t know that, then you may be part of the problem.

      • Do you folks realize that when you paint all Republicans and all Democrats with the same broad brush you are driving deeper the wedge that is polarizing our nation and destroying civil discourse? If you substituted a gender or a race for the words Republicans or Democrats you would be called sexist or bigots.

        The statement made by Jackson was stupid and in my opinion, he deserved to be fired for it. It doesn’t mean that he is stupid, all authors of books are stupid or all Republicans are stupid.

        FOX’s quick and decisive actions are in my opinion, to be applauded. They dealt with the issue. This doesn’t mean that all of FOX’s actions are to be applauded.

  2. Unacceptable remarks, and I applaud Fox News for taking quick action. Media outlets on both sides should follow this playbook, instead of making excuses for bad on-air behavior.
