Fox News contributor Kevin Jackson has said controversial things in the past. As the founder of the website, The Black Sphere as well as while serving as a contributor during Fox News segments, he’s said that diversity is killing people and that the Black Lives Matter movement is inconsequential because it doesn’t focus on violent black men. He gets away with many of those statements as a black man on a network that promotes racism on a daily basis.
His latest comments on Twitter, however, are not ones that are likely to be given any passes by anyone other than Trump’s most rabid fanbase. He has since deleted many of the more controversial posts, but one that still remains at this time appears to be one he didn’t see as too controversial to delete.
In the one that remains on his Twitter page, he implied that women who have been sexually assaulted and consequently suffer from PTSD are sex abusers.
After calling the women who have come forward against Brett Kavanaugh “skanks,” Jackson responded in a now-deleted tweet (several media outlets were able to get screenshots prior to their deletion) to criticism for that comment that Democratic women are mostly all skanky and should be sued when coming forward to report their rapes.
In an even more rage-inducing statement, Jackson said that any PTSD effects Dr. Ford says she suffered after her alleged sexual assault were really just the result of her promiscuity, and that she should “stop opening your legs.”
He didn’t stop with that particular line of thought at just Dr. Ford, either. He also attacked the third woman to come forward by saying she went to parties looking for sex to willingly participate in gang bangs.
Fox News can suspend him or fire him, condemn him or support him, and at this point it doesn’t matter. This is what the sickening rhetoric from the president they support, the members of the GOP party they love, and the vile, disgusting ways in which Fox News itself has denigrated sexual assault survivors has wrought.
