Fox News host Brian Kilmeade ranted like a whirling dervish Tuesday morning.

And suddenly, his backing of law enforcement is over, in service to Trump over the FBI search of Mar-A-Lago.

Trump protectors the Washington Times and Fox News have reported FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault is no longer with the bureau. This is the agent they are linking to the Hunter Biden laptop.

After unconfirmed reports that an FBI agent was forced to resign his position, right-wing media is at Defon-1 meltdown mode to defend the former guy, and to smear the entire FBI to protect him.

On Fox and Friends, co-host and Trump collaborator Brian Kilmeade went ballistic and (with no actual proof) claimed Thibault, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok had forced Trump not to trust the entire FBI.

"If you are President Trump, how can you back the FBI? How can you not question the sanctity of the raid? That’s why you don’t blindly back the blue," Kilmeade screeched.

Republicans like Kilmeade always blindly "back the blue" when there's a police-involved shooting or beating of an unarmed Black man, teen or woman. How times have changed.

"That’s why is it law enforcement right or wrong? It means you have no credibility if everything you think they do is correct. It means when you praise them, it means nothing," he said.

Ainsley Earhardt tried to get a word in, but Kilmeade blocked her.

"And which is 99 percent of the time. But you are going to tell me that this guy had just one bad year and one candidate just drove him over the top, Donald Trump? I’m sure that his record is checkered with a lot of dicey stuff," he surmised.

Earhardt chimed, "That's what scares everyone."

"Are we next?" Kilmeade asked.

Trump gave the NARA and the DOJ the finger when he refused to give up top secret documents. They tried to recover them for over a year and then were told by Trump attorneys all classified documents had been returned.

They were not.

The FBI search was completely valid.

And now the Fox News host wonders if he will be targeted next by the FBI?

What a snowflake loser.
