Fox News has reacted to anchor Kevin Jackson’s Twitter remarks about Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers.

In a rant on the social media site, Jackson described the women who’ve accused the embattled Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault as “lying skanks.”

I disagree. Feminists are their own worst enemies, and enemy of women.

Also, they want men to NEVER be believed. I'm not succumbing.

TO HELL with the notion that women must be believed no matter what. Lying skanks is what these 3 women are, and we ALL know more#TeamKJ https://t.co/qGVJLTv6QI

The news network has responded decisively, terminating Jackson following his offensive tweets.

“His comments on today’s hearings were reprehensible and do not reflect the values of Fox News,” a spokesperson for the network said in a statement.

After Dr. Christine Blasey Ford appeared Thursday morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee to recount her story of sexual assault, Jackson turned to Twitter to attack Ford on her appearance and her credibility.

Wow, #ChristineFord looks rode hard and put up wet, as we say in the country. Just peeked into this FARCE.#ConfirmKavanaughNow #TeamKJ
