FOX News Contributor Kevin Jackson Fired for Tweets Calling Kavanaugh Accusers 'Lying Skanks'

Source: Time

FOX News contributor Kevin Jackson was fired Thursday after calling the three women who have publicly accused Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct “lying skanks.”

“Kevin Jackson has been terminated as a contributor,” a FOX spokesperson said in a statement. “His comments on today’s hearings were reprehensible and do not reflect the values of FOX News.”

Jackson was tweeting during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in which Professor Christine Blasey Ford testified that Kavanaugh assaulted her in the 1980s during a high school house party. Ford testified that Kavanaugh held her down and grinded on her as he tried to take off her one piece bathing suit.

“Feminists are their own worst enemies, and the enemy of women,” Jackson tweeted. “Also, they want men to NEVER be believed. I’m not succumbing. To HELL with the notion women must be believed no matter what. Lying skanks is what these three women are, and we ALL know more.”

He also said Ford, a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University, has a “BE degree.”

“It's not a Bachelors of Science, but a BOVINE EXCREMENT degree,” he wrote.

Fox News told the Daily News that Jackson had been fired from his gig as a contributor following the tweets.

Faux fired him for that? So unfair. But not as unfair as what Kavanaugh is going through. That is a national travesty.

What he actually said is the message that FAUX wished to convey. However, they don't like it said outright, but rather through innuendo and euphemism. So, he got canned.

We don't want scum like this around when they have so low of an opinion of women, makes one wonder if he's got any sexual abuse history himself? Why so hateful? Does he pull legs off insects and the like?

I would seriously give this guy another closer look. Something is wrong here.
