After conservative digital outlet Breitbart released information on the FBI agents who participated in the raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last week, Fox & Friends took time on Monday’s show to condemn the action.
Ainsley Earhardt said “the doxxing of these agents, the two agents that signed the warrant, they were released — someone leaked them, their names.” Steve Doocy then quickly noted it was Breitbart who published the names, before Earhardt said “doxxing of them trying to find their address so that these people online are talking about going to their houses”.
Co-host Brian Kilmeade then added people going to the homes of FBI agents was wrong, saying it was “way out of bounds. Same thing with (Supreme Court Justice Brett) Kavanaugh,” alluding to the actions of pro-choice protestors who picketed outside Justice Kavanaugh’s Washington DC home after the overturn of Roe v. Wade in May.
Doocy then noted the incident between an alleged Trump supporter who tried to breach the FBI’s office in Cincinnati, before later being fatally shot by police, as reason for not releasing information on FBI agents. Later in the program, Doocy called on the former President to “end the violent rhetoric” against the FBI, adding the agents were “just doing their job”.
