Donald Trump’s repeated, glowing mentions of Hannibal Lecter, the fictional cannibal and serial killer, have been in good fun and are not cause for concern, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade argued Thursday, even as the 78-year-old campaigns for the office of president of the United States.
Kilmeade insisted that Trump is merely “kidding around” when he offers kind words for the infamous character.
“He’s having fun!” the Fox & Friends co-host claimed on America Reports. “He’s talking about Hannibal Lecter, he’s looking in the audience, he’s playing around! And now people are going, ‘Trump is losing it.’ No, he’s having fun! And that’s what he was picked on [for].”
