Gretchen Carlson walked off the set of 'Fox and Friends' today after her co-cost Brian Kilmeade made a sexist comment. Having just watched a segment on the U.S. Navy Sea Chanters presented by third host Steve Doocy, he ended by informing the audience that the group was all-male until 1980. Amused by that fact, Kilmeade joked, 'Women are everywhere. We're letting them play golf and tennis now. It's out of control.'

I don’t know who to root for in this case- the guy who can’t keep his trap in check, or the woman who can’t hold her own against him.
Get over it Gretchen! You and Brian are on the good guys team. Please adopt a sense of humor and get off the political correctness kick!
This happened yesterday.
She was back on the show today.
I’m a woman and I kinda think that’s funny.
Gretchen might be a wee bit full of herself. Dang, it’s called sarcasm.
I can't imagine anyone missed the humor ...
My thoughts exactly. The WOMEN want to be treated “equally” and then they act like little whining GIRLS. Obviously Brian was making a joke, which I would have laughed at had I been sitting there. I guess that’s the advantage of getting older and having so few hormones left.
I didn’t know Carlson had such a stick up her ass.
Good grief. I don’t even regard that as sexist. Sorta dumb remark, but they are always making dumb remarks. You hear a lot dumber listenening to sports.
I hope she walked off the set to go and make some sandwiches.
Whooptido over nothing, he’s said much worst in the past, as has BA. I’d say what I really think, but it’s Friday....and early.
Oh, good grief. So if some woman makes a sexist comment (like my wife does all the time), my feelings as a man are going to be hurt, and I’ll just have to walk off and have a good sob. Waaahhhhh!!! The fact is, my wife and I are constantly hurling sexist barbs at each other and laughing about it as we make them. Some people (1) have to get a sense of humor and (2) get over themselves.
Women are everywhere Brian? How many nights have you spent alone? Huh?
It looks like she was joking, too. All in good fun, it seems.
I think Grethen played it ... it’s good theater.
Even though I only see the first 30 minutes of the F&F program before leaving for work, I have zero doubt that Carlson will be voting for zero - again.
Carlson very much has the politically correct mindset.
this was a joke by Kilmeade and that's the way Carlson took it
No one was offended
It's part of Kilmeade's regular humor
.
That Gretchen didn’t die from irony as she walked off the set is proof that it cannot actually kill.
In the video she was back on in less than two minutes.
He’s clearly being ironic.
Irony is lost on simpletons and the politically correct.
*Ahem*
*coughcoughcough*
Gretchen, best legs award.
Seriously? Gretchen- it was a JOKE. I wasn’t even a little bit offended..in fact I chuckled. Lot of thin skin and taking ourselves waaaaay too seriously is part of our problem.
She needs to grow up and I surely hope Brian wasn’t forced to “apologize” or worse..go to sensitivity training.
Its a typical Kilmeade type of comment. Its what makes him funny.
Killmede is F&F's class clown.
Seriously. We get "men are stupid" jokes (and entire sitcom premises) all the time.
Sweet!
That’s my take, too. At the beginning of the video she looks at him like she’s waiting for the set up.
Brian should speak up for the repeal of the 19th amendment.
Say that is when this country started its long road to the crapper.
That should get the NAGs stirred up.
Those comments sound more sarcastic than offensive, if you ask me.
They are ALL usless.
They serve no purpose in the morning.
The only more useless person in the am at fox is lefty Imus.
What a lousy sense of humor she has! What a jerk! She couldn’t send him a couple zingers and call it a draw?????
I’m so sick of these “easily offended knee jerk” jerks who walk around all day with a chip on their shoulder.
Unless she was told to make him a sammich, the woman co-host overreacted.
Must be in her cycle or something ...
I agree with Kilmeade.
(Ducking!)
“Amused by that fact, Kilmeade joked, ‘Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now. It’s out of control.’”
***********************************************
She walked off the set over THAT?! It was a joke!
Must be PMS.
She was back yesterday after a few minutes
Get over yourself, Gretch.
Everytime I would hear a woman on the radio when I was up in the cockpit serving the pilots coffee, I would comment, “Another empty kitchen”.
Even you, with your lesser intelligence, know it was a joke. And you have proven yourself to be the weaker sex in that you are thin skinned and can’t take a joke.
YOU are the protected species with special rights. Cut your FRIEND some slack. Bet it is going to be real fun for you when your RESPECTED coworker is going to have to PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE and have to live with the humiliation from your fake disgust.
Gretchen should do what I have always done. Consider the source, and leave it at that. Brian thinks he’s being funny. I was neither amused nor offended...but to walk off the set, really?
In the words of Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein, "Don't you know a joke when you hear one!? Ha! Ha! Ha!"
This was friendly banter
Some lefty news idiot took a simple boy/girl joke and made something out of it that it was not
This moral outrage over the slightest supposed insult has gone overboard. You can’t say a damn thing anymore without offending some overly sensitive jackass or bringing a group of 9 to 5 perpetual protesters out of the woodwork. I suppose we can thank political correctness for the emasculated culture that we live in today.
We had it perfect when we instructed our children to, Treat Others as You Would Like to be Treated. However, being a Christian teaching, we can’t have that now can we—especially in schools.
We are a doomed society.

Her response was also done "in jest"... she was smiling, and laughing the entire time.
This is, a non-story.
As much as I love FoxNews, I personally CANNOT STAND Fox & Friends... they are all a bunch of ass-clowns, in my opinion. They do NOTHING to help the conservative agenda.
After watching the clip, It’s pretty clear they were both goofing around.
I mean, a man has to stand on his principles fergodsakes.
Someone was PMSing.
I understand that, like most of them, this is her primary skill and purpose in life.
