Shepard Smith chided former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal for saying “all lives matter.”
Viewers immediately got upset with Smith for his criticism of Jindal and wanted to know how he remained employed at Fox News.
Why does @ShepNewsTeam still have a job after saying #allLivesMatter is an offensive term, @FoxNews? Why would anyone ever watch his show?

Dear @ShepNewsTeam as you insist #alllivesmatter is racist perhaps you or @foxnews can please inform of which lives don't matter?

Why would @ShepNewsTeam condemn @BobbyJindal 4 saying #alllivesmatter in the eyes of God? What's false about that? What's "divisive"?

Jindal then tweeted the following.
Our thoughts and prayers are with our law enforcement community after today's horrible shootings. All lives matter, plain and simple.
