Furious ex-Fox host storms off BBC amid row over Georgia voter laws: ‘I’m done’

Former Fox News host Eric Bolling walked out of a BBC News debate about Georgia's sweeping new voting laws after a guest said white Republicans like him were only pretending to care about Black people to make a point.

Mr Bolling was joined by political commentator Aisha Mills on BBC Newsnight on Wednesday to discuss businesses speaking out against the controversial laws, and Major League Baseball moving its All-Star game to Colorado in protest.

The former Fox presenter said that moving the All-Star game out of Atlanta would cost the local community $100m in revenue and that it was now being held in a state where only 9.7 per cent of the population is African American.

Ms Aisha dismissed his argument, saying he was trying to “create a wedge”.
