Eric Bolling Makes Video Of Confrontation With Man Mocking His Son's Death

During his show Thursday night, BlazeTV host Eric Bolling detailed an altercation with a man who mocked his son’s death while he was having dining in Washington restaurant Wednesday.

Bolling began the show by describing the day he received the news about the death of his son from an accidental drug overdose. He then explained what happened Wednesday night. He said he was at Trump International Hotel with few friends including conservative activist Hayden Williams when an unidentified man, who appeared to be on a call, walked by the table and turned toward them and said “Eric Bolling’s son killed himself because he was embarrassed by his dad.'”

“It was a drive-by hit on me using the most hateful words a human being can deliver to a grieving father. I got up and followed this hateful moron out of the hotel,” Bolling said, adding that he then started filming the chase, a clip of which was shown during the show.

“I chased him down and yelled whatever comes to the mind of a man who has just been told his son killed himself because of him. Yep, I used some bad words. Yes, I followed him and yes, I shouted at him. But no, I do not apologize,” Bolling added.

He ended the segment by stating, “It’s an evil world out there. I’ve been exposed to way too many hateful comments on social media and in the media, but last night I came face to face with true evil, over politics folks. Have we all lost our collective minds?”

“We’re all human beings here and some things are just off limits,” he concluded.

Confirming Bolling’s account, Williams told the Daily Caller, “Quite frankly, it was one of the most disgusting, despicable things I’ve ever heard anyone say to another person.”

In a statement released by Blaze Media, Bolling said, “For someone to use my son’s death to criticize my politics shows the inhumanity of these people. They will dehumanize us every chance they can get. This is where this is all going. I hated to show this video to anyone because it brought back all the pain of that terrible day, but I had to — as a warning, to people. There is no blow too low for these people, and we should shudder at the thought of their having more power.”

Eric Chase Bolling Jr. died ingesting fentanyl and Xanax in September 2017, a few hours after Fox News announced his father would be leaving the network after sexual harassment allegations.
