Fox News' Eric Bolling Tells Maxine Waters To 'Step Away From The Crack Pipe,' Later Says He Was 'Kidding' (VIDEO)
Fox News host Eric Bolling shocked his co-hosts on "Fox and Friends" when he told Rep. Maxine Waters to "step away from the crack pipe" on Thursday. Bolling quickly said that he was "kidding."
Waters stirred up anger on the right when video surfaced on Wednesday showing her calling House Republican leaders John Boehner and Eric Cantor "demons."
On Thursday, Bolling and co-host Steve Doocy took turns bashing Waters for the remarks. But Bolling took things to another level.
"Congresswoman, you saw what happened to Whitney Houston," he said. "Step away from the crack pipe, step away from the Xanax, step away from the Lorazepam because it's going to get you in trouble."
The other hosts immediately gasped, and Doocy muttered, "she's not using drugs."
"How else do you explain those comments?" Bolling said. When the show returned from a break, Bolling quickly backtracked. "I just want to say I was kidding about the crack pipe," he said. "Just kidding."
"Of course," Doocy said.
Bolling has gotten himself in hot water for racially charged comments before. He had to apologize last July after saying that President Obama was bringing "hoodlums" into the "hizzouse" - the White House, that is.
Well crap. It someone says something 3 times it has to be true. I left my magic wand behind today and cannot argue against a thrice made statement.
Quoting Naturewoman4:
Well I dont blame him for saying that. M. Waters is very rude & nuts!! She deserves whatever is said. Whatever goes around, comes around.
Your post reminded me of a golden girls episode!
Miama is nice, so I'll say it thrice!!!
Lmao

eh
I've had a poster tell me my mom sold her food stamps for crack, so that is why I hate the poor.
I've told people to put down the crack pipe or bong before because they were saying or posting incredibly stupid or nonsensical stuff.

So because what she says is considered crazy this guy does what, exactly, by acting the same way?
Hilarious.

This is a bit of a so what? issue. She called people demons according the article (I don't care enough to find out). That isn't nice either. They can all squabble in a corner for all I care.
The other hosts immediately gasped, and Doocy muttered, "she's not using drugs."
This is a disgusting racially tinged comment
In all fairness of course, Maxine Waters quotes:
“I am not afraid of anybody. This is a tough game. You can’t be
intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned, the
Tea Party can go straight to hell.” --- Nice
“Guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be
about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over,
and the government running all of your companies.” - No you cannot run my business
"I just watched—the Republicans were out there—they were having a great time. They were laughing, they were waving the American flag, they were egging them on, and I thought that was outrageous behavior. I really did." -- People wave Flags Maxine, it is America, oh dear, the audacity
“We do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Frank Raines.” - Yup ok, but still not taking responsibility for that comment
“I have a right to my anger, and I don’t want anybody telling me I shouldn’t be, that it’s not nice to be, and that something’s wrong with me because I get angry.” - But Maxine you think you can tell anyone else not to have a right
“Policy, for the most part, has been made by white people in America, not by people of color. And they have tended to take care of those things that they think are important. Whether it’s their agricultural subsidies, or other kinds of expenditures that are certainly not expenditures for poor people or for people of color. And so we have to band together and keep fighting back.” - Whose racist again?
“If you call it a riot, it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion.” - Yes rape and Drugs at OWS is a rebellion
“I followed up on the association's request by asking Treasury Secretary Paulson to schedule such a meeting.” - Yes because your husband financial wellbeing was at stake - hence investigation for corruption
So, Maxine Waters needs to get off the crackpipe and do her actual job. No apology.
