Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle has said that the Secret Service should pay Snoop Dogg and Bow Wow a 'visit' following the controversy around Snoop's recent music video.

In 'Lavender', Snoop mock-assassinated a clown resembling the US President with a gun that unfurled a 'BANG' flag.

It prompted uproar from Republican politicians and media, while Donald Trump himself responded by tweeting: "Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!"

Snoop's longtime protege Bow Wow then said in a since-deleted comment: "Ayo @realDonaldTrump shut you punk ass up talking s*** about my uncle @SnoopDogg before we pimp your wife and make her work for us."

In a Thursday segment of Fox News' The Five, the show's five hosts took turns attacking the rappers for their actions, until Guilfoyle was asked by her colleague Greg Gutfeld: "What should the Secret Service do?"

"Kill them?" Guilfoyle responded, to chuckling from her co-hosts. "Kill them."

She continued, apparently failing to see the irony in her comments: "I think it would be fantastic if Snoop and wannabe-Snoop got a visit from, like, the federal marshals, and let's see how tough and gangster they are then.

"Honestly this is horrible behaviour... what a double standard, this would never fly, there would be outrage all over the place if somebody said this [about Michelle Obama]."

Guilfoyle's comments are particularly unnerving given the ongoing tension between law enforcement services and the black community in America, where fatal shootings of black men by police are all-too common.
