Brian Kilmeade — the dark-haired guy on “Fox & Friends,” Fox News’ morning show — was surprised. During the program on Monday, a correspondent reported that a Fox News poll showed that 50% of voters favored impeaching and removing Donald Trump. (An additional 4% favored impeachment alone.) “I was stunned to see that that’s the number, because I thought that things were trending away,” said Kilmeade.
It’s tempting to think that he simply made the mistake of watching too much of his own network, but recently the idea that impeachment has been bad for the Democrats has been widespread.
