Fox & Friends is claiming that the Shakespeare in the Park reimagining of Julius Caesar appears to murder the play's protagonist who bears a striking resemblance to Donald Trump.
Guy Benson, political editor for TownHall.com, appeared on the show to deconstruct the footage of the person in question, who dons a business suit and blonde wig, and has a wife sporting a "Slavic accent." The network's hosts also point out that the killing was executed solely by women and minorities.
While the visuals can be lead someone to believe this is just a graphic depiction of the assassination of Trump, the New York Times ran a review of the play detailing how the overall sentiment of the story is ultimately against assassination. Still, one of the sponsors of Shakespeare in the Park, Delta, has faced considerable backlash for funding the show, and has decided to pull out as the "official airline of The Public Theater."
