Fox News called a female fighter pilot 'boobs on the ground' and people aren't happy

They also made a joke about women’s parking, because of course.

YESTERDAY, FOX NEWS was doing a piece on the first female fighter pilot from the United Arab Emirates. It didn’t go so well.

Maryam Al-Mansouri is participating in the US-led military strikes against Syria, so Fox News presenter Kimberly Guilfoyle decided to do a brief segment saluting her and her efforts.

Only problem? Guilfoyle’s male co-presenters decided to weigh in with some fairly sexist remarks.

After one joked about women’s parking (“After she bombed it, she couldn’t park it”), another asked, “Would that be considered boobs on the ground or no?”

As you might expect, people are not happy.

Eric Bolling, the presenter in question, later apologised for his remarks after his wife gave him “a look”.

I made a joke and when I got home, I got the look. I said sorry to my wife and I apologize to you all and want to make that very clear.

Oof.
