Fox Host Calls Out Ivanka’s Husband in Bombshell Split

Brian Kilmeade called on Donald Trump to remove Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff from the sputtered Iran negotiations, telling him bluntly: “We have a State Department for a reason.”

On The Five, Kilmeade reacted to the resumption of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran after a tenuous peace deal had been agreed to in June. On Wednesday, Trump said the deal, brought about in part through Kushner, his son-in-law through daughter Ivanka, and Witkoff, was “over.”

“I also don’t think that Witkoff and Kushner should be the ones doing this,” Kilmeade told the panel about the pair. “They’re business guys. They have not been effective in Ukraine, not been effective in Gaza. They have not been effective in this. They can’t have three portfolios to begin with. We have a State Department for a reason.”

Kilmeade added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, 55, was better equipped for the task of bringing the war—which Trump and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu began in late February—to an end.

“Marco Rubio—even Democrats admit—is looked at as a genius internationally,“ Kilmeade said. ”He is the guy that most people would want, even if you gave truth serum to Democrats. He should take the lead on this because you can’t do this like a business deal. You have to understand the history of the region and how distrustful the Iranians have been. They will only make a decision if they have no other choice.” (Read more from “Fox Host Calls Out Ivanka’s Husband in Bombshell Split” HERE)
