Low blow.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade recently compared Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump protesters to rude, obnoxious Yankees fans.

"What they do is they come together," the host said of Yankees fans. "And what my analogy, is if you're at a Red Sox bar and you're a Yankee fan and you're screaming for the Yankees in a Red Sox bar, you're going to get beat up. And technically that's wrong, but you should not go into a Red Sox bar as a Yankee fan."

Trump has spent his entire campaign in mostly hot water, but things have started boiling up recently with clashes between his protestors and supporters that have turned violent at times. About a week ago, Trump canceled a scheduled rally in Chicago over fears of more viciousness between the factions.

O'Neill breaks NYY fans hearts, endorses Trump



Kilmeade's comments weren't the first time the Yankees and Trump have been tied together in recent weeks.

Retired right fielder Paul O'Neill endorsed Trump, who then told him he loved him, at a rally. Former Yankees right fielder Johnny Damon also has endorsed him.
