STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): [Barack Obama] came out with a statement yesterday. It was sharp. He said this: "We should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred, or normalizes racist sentiments. Leaders who demonize those who don't look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as subhuman, or imply that America belongs to just one certain type of people ... it has no place in our politics and our public life. And it's time for the overwhelming majority of Americans of goodwill, of every race and faith and political party, to say as much -- clear and unequivocally."
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): I guess he is talking about the President Trump?
DOOCY: You think?
KILMEADE: I think so. I'm just wondering if, did George Bush ever condemn President Obama after Sandy Hook? Did President Bush ever come [after] -- he had 32 shootings of four and more, mass shootings during his reign. Not many people have said wow, it's this president, President Obama's out of control. Seventeen so far President Trump, it's way too high. But I have news for you, mass shootings were happening before the president even thought about running for president of the United States.
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Right. It's a political season and the election's around the corner. And they want to --
KILMEADE: But he's not running anymore.
EARHARDT: But they want to -- the president is. And they want to continue to push that "racist" narrative.
