Under fire: Perino made the remark during a discussion on the m::rd3r-s::1cide of NFL player Jovan Belcher, who sh0t and K his girlfriend before turning a G::N on himself
Fox commentators were discussing the implications of the crime and whether laws governing G::N rights should be reexamined in the aftermath.
Fox host Greg Gutfeld said the violence may have been prevented if Belcher’s girlfriend was carrying a G::N the night she was KL.
That’s when Perino, the former press secretary for George W. Bush, chimed in.
‘I think it skirts the issue,’ she said. ‘Women are victims of violence all the time.’
Gutfeld cut in and insisted, again, that more women should carry G::Ns.
‘Well, maybe, or make better decisions,’ Perino quipped.
Viewers lashed out at Perino on Twitter for the remark.

‘I have no respect for Dana Perino for the comment she made about women and domestic violence!’ wrote @JacsKrakrs. ‘She just guaranteed I will not vote GOP!’

Perino isn’t the first commentator to draw the ire of viewers in discussing the touchy subject of G::N rights and domestic violence in the aftermath of Belcher’s mrd3r-s::1cide.
Fox Sports commentator Bob Costas angered viewers when he suggested that stricter G::N laws might have prevented the crime.
Costas praised a column by sports writer Jason Whitlock and told his viewers, ‘In the coming days, Jovan Belcher’s actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe.
‘If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a G::N, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.’
Costas later defended his remarks, saying he didn’t have enough time to explain himself and that he was misunderstood.
‘What I was trying to say was, that if you want some perspective on this, there are a number of issues related to [Belcher’s m::rd3r-s::1cide] that we could begin to talk about and think about,’ Costas told sports radio host Dan Patrick. ‘The problem was that I didn’t have enough time to get to many of them. And that, I think, was my mistake to be quite honest.’
