FOX "news" Eric Bolling says Maxine Waters should "step away from the crack pipe"

Fox News commentator Eric Bolling insisted he was just joking Thursday after saying that Rep. Maxine Waters should “step away from the crack pipe.”

“What is going on in California? How’s this? Congresswoman, you saw what happened to Whitney Houston. Step away from the crack pipe, step away from the Xanax, step away from the Lorazepam because it’s going to get you in trouble.” Bolling said about Waters on “Fox and Friends.” “How else do you explain those comments?”

Immediately after the commercial break, Bolling walked back his comments.

“Alright, before we get started, I just want to say I was kidding about the crack pipe. Just kidding,” he said.

“Of course,” replied Fox and Friends co-host Steve Doocy. “We knew that.”

I knew this comment was going to be offensive, but in context of the Whitney Houston reference, it's a hundred times worse.

I don't think in this day and age it's a race thing anymore..

I was on a call this morning talking about a certain C.O. in the northeast saying that the guys up there MUST be smoking crack all day, because they sure as fuck aren't working on the power plant upgrade

of course it is. The guy should have been suspended, in the very least--and made to make a proper apology.

because no one is fool enough to take you seriously.

Hey moron, here's a clue - just because you thought it was funny doesn't mean it wasn't offensive.

who talks out of his ass.

He's one of the worst over there at the Faux Nooze cesspool--more revolting than Douchebag Doocey or Kill-Me-Now Kilmeade.

What a crew--if they weren't so dangerous due to Faux's predominant market position, they'd be ROFLMAO hilarious.
