Peter Hegseth Makes Infuriating Comment On Hate Group's Arrest Near Pride Parade

Fux Noise host Peter Hegseth responded Sunday to a hate group allegedly planning a riot at a gay pride parade by disparaging Black Lives Matter protesters. (Watch the video below.)

A report on “Dumb Fux & Friends Weekend” noted that 31 members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front crammed into a U-Haul to carry out the plot. They were arrested near the pride event in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

“Police say they learned about the U-Haul from a tipster who reported the men loading into the truck in the parking lot of a hotel,” Fox News anchor Ashley Strohmier said.

Hegseth then brought up Black Lives Matter protests, which are entirely unrelated.

Umbrella Man was almost certainly a professional provocateur. The early actions by provocateurs, particularly Umbrella Man, helped the protests to spiral out of control in Minneapolis.

Hegseth and the others (especially Campos-Duffy) on the Sunday Fox and Friends are too dumb to understand that they're just benchwarmers. They might as well be robots, and at some point in the near future, they probably will be.

Against greed and for fairness...

Those careerists are always the same, no sympathy until it happens to them.

It was a organized effort to infiltrate the protests, and that is why these Republicans thought they could get away with blaming the insurrection on BLM or leftists.

Give Pete a break, he's trying to make bricks without any straw. And since he traded in his personal and professional integrity for a sinecure at Fox, he's got to make do with what he's got. It's kind of sad, except for the part where he gets paid to be a fool.
