‘Fox & Friends’ Remembers Charles Krauthammer with Emotional Tribute

EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: “It’s my job to call a folly a folly.”
BAIER (voice-over): “Charles Krauthammer, columnist, author, and Fox News commentator lived his life telling others exactly what he thought.”
KRAUTHAMMER: “You’re betraying your whole life if you don’t say what you think and you don’t say it honestly and bluntly.”
BAIER (voice-over): “It was that quality that brought Charles to Fox News channel during Brit Hume’s tenure as anchor.”
HUME: “This is not a man designed for television. You look at him, this is not a potential TV star. In fact, he became a huge star. Even I would say a mega-star on this channel. It was the sheer force of his intellect and the power of his thinking. And, on top of that, there was a gentleness about him personally that if he disagreed with you, you know, you never felt attacked, you know. He just disagreed with you.”
DENNERT: “He was always unspoken on the panel that he was always the leader, because of his delivery, his intellect.”
BAIER (voice-over): “‘Special Report’ stage manager Mary Pat Dennert was on set with Charles every night for years.”
DENNER: “It was kind of an ongoing joke on the panel that Bret Baier has a signal when people need to wrap up, I give them 30. Bret puts his arm out. And Charles was on the show forever. We always laughed that I don’t think he paid attention to that once. If he had something to say he was going to say it. No time constraints were going to control him on that.”
