“This is the Fox Square in New York, outside of Fox headquarters,” Bream said. “It appears that our giant Christmas tree there, just a couple of minutes ago, was completely engulfed in flames.

”A 49-year-old man who police said was homeless was arrested on charges including criminal mischief, arson and trespassing. It wasn’t clear if he had an attorney who could comment on the charges.The tree had been ceremonially lit during a network Christmas special on Sunday. Its charred remains were being dismantled Wednesday.

Who knows what the man’s motive was for burning the tree, but I’m surprised by how many are rejoicing it happened. The willful destruction of something that has a special meaning for many people should not be a cause to celebrate.

Trump spoke to me through the burning fake bush.

Good. Hope some Judge does not set him free.

I salute this man. GreatAmerican

Good job though

Tucker must have been having a bad day.

Not. News.

Somehow it seems like it should’ve been expected that Fox would have a fake tree.

“Police said the man had a lighter, but it was unclear whether any accelerant was used.” That’s one hell of a lighter…

Main suspect…the grinch.

The replies here are pretty cringe.

The dumbest thing about political extremism (on both sides) is when those at either end are unable to see when and how their actions actually benefit the agendas of the other end. This is just fodder for Tucker & Co’s “War on Christmas” victimization BS.

Liberal

F*cking legend!

FoxNews CEO Suzanne Scott calling it a brazen act of cowardice. It was a homeless person that was arrested with a lighter. Maybe they were looking to be arrested for shelter, maybe mental issues, maybe it’s a sign above telling us about Fox News and it’s hot burning garbage.

we are no longer a civilized people, and this is generally cheered as a good thing it seems.

Her comes the war on Christmas bull...

The Tree 'caught fire' ... LOL

“Caught fire” Was “set on fire”.

It wasn't even a real tree

Isn't the tree in front of Fox News called a 'Holiday tree'?

The man is a hero

Hmmmm, I have a problem with adults arming children with guns and turning that into a Christmas card. Burning up a Christmas tree near Fox Entertainment News doesn’t bother me at all.

god didn’t want them to have one…

Maybe he was just trying to provide medical assistance.

an early christmas present.

That fire was started years ago…

Well since it is NY I expected he has already been released with Mets tickets....

Was he just defending himself?

That man choose Xmas tree violence 😂

Kinda like hockey..... take the penalty to prevent the score, this guy who did this is taking the penalty for what so many people probably wanted to do.

I thought shit didn’t burn

I hate Fox but this sucks.

🐱💭 hmmm...
