According to The Hill's report, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade posted a video clip of himself on the social platform X criticizing special envoy Steve Witkoff's comment calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a humanitarian. The report was written by Suryatapa Chakraborty and is the only source provided for this account.
In the video, Kilmeade said, "The Russians must be laughing their heads off." He also said the remark makes Witkoff look naïve, questioned the description of Putin as a humanitarian, and said that Putin kills his opponents. The summary of the report quotes these comments only in part, and it does not show the full video.
The Hill's headline ties the Russian reaction Kilmeade described to Witkoff's remark about Putin. The available summary ends partway through Kilmeade's comments and does not say whether Witkoff has responded, when the remark was made, or what else Witkoff said beyond describing Putin as a humanitarian.
The summary describes the post as a video clip that Kilmeade posted himself on X. It does not establish whether the remarks were broadcast on Fox News or in what program they appeared.
Because the only material available for this story is The Hill's report, this account is limited to what that report summarizes. Further details of the exchange, including any reaction from Witkoff or from other officials, are not included here.
