A Monument to Human Cruelty

Fox News personalities Pete Hegseth and Will Cain got all excited Wednesday about the South Carolina House of Representatives approving a bill that would add the firing squad as a method for executing people on death row.

Hegseth kicked off the discussion with a “callous” comment about how there are now three ways to die in the state if you are on death row. “Shoot ’em, stick ’em or fry ’em,” he said, referring in part to the electric chair, which is also used as a method of execution in South Carolina.

Callous? Shee-it. This is what Fox News provides its viewers: the glorification of human cruelty, the ridicule of compassion.
