‘Violence Is Not The Answer, Period!’: Harris Faulkner Erupts At Dem Guest During Anti-ICE Riot

Fox News host Harris Faulkner tore into a Democratic guest on “The Faulkner Focus” on Friday as a riot broke out at a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Illinois.

President Donald Trump hinted at stepped-up federal enforcement efforts in Chicago in an Aug. 25 post on Truth Social, following it up with a meme based on a famous character from the movie “Apocalypse Now” posted Sept. 6. Faulkner called what was going on in Broadview, a suburb of Chicago, a “riot.”

“The defiance that we’re seeing of the rioters. We won’t call them peaceful protestors at this; we will call balls and strikes for what they are,” Faulkner said to Fox News contributor Leslie Marshall. “This is not right, Leslie. I often hear you say you don’t call for violence. Democrat lawmakers have to stand up to this today. Otherwise, they look feckless and without ideas on how to rule their own party.”
