Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday suggested that Bob Bergdahl, the father of the soldier released from the Taliban, was anti-American and said that he looked like a member of the Taliban.

After referencing reports that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl may have been “collaborating with the enemy” in Afghanistan, Kilmeade turned to Bob Bergdahl.

The “Fox and Friends” host said that Bergdahl made “some anti-American tweets and statements,” referencing a tweet apparently published by Bergdahl saying that he was “working to free all Guantanamo prisoners.”

Kilmeade then criticized Bergdahl’s beard, which he grew in order to mark the time his son was held prisoner.

“Really?” Kilmeade asked. “I mean, he says he was growing his beard because his son was in captivity. Well, your son’s out now. So if you really don’t — no longer look like a member of the Taliban, you don’t have to look like a member of the Taliban. Are you out of razors?”

  1. Just wait until Brian Kilmeade finally watches Duck Dynasty. He’s going to flip!

  2. He looks like the Duck Dynasty guys.

  3. Avatar for maybe maybe says:

    And if my son had been kidnapped by the Bolshoi Ballet I’d be wearing a tutu.

  4. Long beards are all the rage in America. Remember baseball’s World Series last year? Half the players had bizarre beards! That right wing bigot Phil Robertson (the “Christian” pyscho) started the new fad of looking “Muslim.”
