Fox News host Brian Kilmeade felt the wrath of the Internet on Wednesday after he appeared to defend young men who sexually assault young women in high school.

While discussing the accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Kilmeade complained that anyone could “go back to high school and college” and destroy someone’s life over attempted rape allegations.

Twitter users lashed out at the Fox News host after his remarks began to trend on the social media network.

“It seems that Brian Kilmeade sexually assaulted girls at school….why else would he approve of it?” one user wrote.

“So if what I’m hearing is accurate @Kilmeade just basically said its perfectly OK to sexually assault HIS kids as long as they’re in high school,” ShimmerCatMan noted. “There ya go perverts! Free meat! @FoxNews ‘Assholes Of The World Unite.'”

Wonder if it was in his sons character to put his hands over a girls mouth while on top of her drunk? What a moron.

Let's hope that your teenager never comes home and tells you some drunken guy tried to rape them but didn't succeed because he was to drunk because let me tell you it WILL effect THEM for life .

Kilmeade is also the guy who thought Trayvon Martin deserved to be shot because he wore a hoodie.

So we're clear…

White 17 y/o gets to sexually assault so he can eventually sit on SCOTUS

Black 17 y/o deserves to be killed because of a hoodie and going to convenience store.

Kilmeade is wrong. In Texas, as in most states, sexual assault committed by a 17 year old would land the perpetrator on the State's sex offender registry — for life.

Let's just remember who said it and on what network then lower our expectations then lower them again…them lower them again and you've hit the rock bottom that is Fox

Hey kids! Brian Kilmeade says it is OK to rape away.

And kilmeade is an idiot for saying this. IF what you did in high school is illegal, then yes, it will affect your adult life, & probably the lives of others. Elite white boys have no clue what consequences are or how to deal with them, w/out buying their way out of the situation

Well, Trump has himself said some very awkward things about Ivanka (all on tape). I am pretty sure Mr. Kilmeade will defend Trump for that too and just say it is OK for a father to say & do these things as long as he is RICH, WHITE and & NASTY towards people especially Women.

GOP logic: I don’t really care about your sexual harassment until it personally affects me.

— Shomeo (@SassBaller) September 26, 2018

Republicans have their own set of rules. If it doesn't affect them personally they don't care. Double check hypocrites

he was probably an abuser himself and a drunk teen party hearty anything goes…

Can someone look into Brian's high school past… that is pure projection, IMHO

Why are these men SO afraid? Lets see 1 of 6 women are raped, 1 of 3 are accosted sexually, 95 of 100 are afraid to walk in a dark parking lot at night.

That's a lot of men committing crimes

The depths the GOP are willing to go for a scotus pick is unfathomable!

Can they look their daughters in the face and say that ?
We drank in high school but thank goodness the guys did not try to rape you. Again it is a mental disorder for men/women who think they can rape someone and get away with it. That is why the Me too movement started!
