BlazeTV host Eric Bolling on Wednesday night was involved in an altercation with a man who, according to Bolling and another man who was with him, mocked the death of Bolling’s son.
Bolling was at Trump International Hotel with conservative activist Hayden Williams in Washington, D.C., when a man allegedly approached their table while holding a phone to his ear, before turning toward the two and saying, “Eric Bolling’s son killed himself because he was embarrassed by his dad,” Bolling said on his show Thursday evening.
Bolling’s son, Eric Chase Bolling, died in September 2017 from a drug overdose.
“It was a drive-by hit on me using the most hateful words a human being can deliver to a grieving father. I got up and followed this hateful moron out of the hotel,” Bolling said, adding that he started recording as he chased the man down.
Bolling on his show released snippets of the video, which shows him confronting a man with a blurred-out face and yelling at him.
“I chased him down and yelled whatever comes to the mind of a man who has just been told his son killed himself because of him. Yep, I used some bad words. Yes, I followed him and yes, I shouted at him. But no, I do not apologize,” Bolling added.
Unedited video from the altercation reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation — on condition that it not be published — matches Bolling’s account.
Williams also confirmed Bolling’s account in a phone call with TheDCNF.
“Quite frankly, it was one of the most disgusting, despicable things I’ve ever heard anyone say to another person,” said Williams.
“For someone to use my son’s death to criticize my politics shows the inhumanity of these people. They will dehumanize us every chance they can get. This is where this is all going,” Bolling said in a statement released by Blaze Media.
“I hated to show this video to anyone because it brought back all the pain of that terrible day, but I had to — as a warning, to people. There is no blow too low for these people, and we should shudder at the thought of their having more power,” said Bolling.
Eric has more restraint than me.
I would have let the man go and tell that to my son’s face.
If you get my meaning.
Bolling should have snapped the c**k suckers neck.
Dox the dirt bag. He was trolling the Trump hotel looking for somebody to insult. No doubt he works for some Democrat funded entity.
CWII.........................tagline............
Typical leftist — full of hate.
The SOB deserved a beatdown. bolling showed great restraint.
Wow, that’s f****d up.
Incredible amount of bloat ware on DC site. Hard to even see or negotiate through the ads and crap on the site. Too bad.
I don’t know who Eric Bolling is, but my reaction to this level of maliciousness would have been far more extreme. I can only admire his self-restraint and patience. The creep who made the remark deserves nothing but contempt.
Leftists continue being unhinged because nothing ever happens to them when they break the law. No, I’m not saying this man should be prosecuted for his words, but he has been emboldened to be obnoxious by Late Night Talk Show Hosts, CNN, MSNBC, etc.
What a messed up lot Leftists are!
Ping.
Yes his picture should have been exposed to the world. Someone knows him as a jerk, and he has no right to anonymity.
Roger that.
I likely would have embedded the phone into the azzhole’s skull.
Hopefully that guy will fall under an oil truck and drink his own blood...
Put me down as hating Democrats.
Demonic inspiration. It’s the only explanation for what drives these evil leftists.
Yeah, horrific is right. Even if that were true, completely classless to mention anything - especially in “ring and run” fashion.
Yep.
Don’t start no sh*t, won’t be no sh*t.
Some Democratic-linked group likely hired their won Madame Defarges' to hang out at Trump properties keeping track of everyone coming and going; recording videos, taking photos, documenting everything.
Like the Covington incident, lefties set these up to try to provoke conservatives, then film the incident and spread it around the internet to “prove” conservative are angry and deranged.
