Megyn Kelly, a victim of despicable, deceptive P.C. police
The Washington Times ^ | Friday, October 26, 2018 | Cheryl K. Chumley

This is not a defense of Megyn Kelly. This is a defense of sanity.

If you’ve not watched the six-minute or so segment that’s the heart and soul of what’s being used to show Kelly as a racist, stop reading, go back and watch — because the headlines and stories and criticisms that have come like pelting hail upon her head have little to do with truth and everything to do with misinformation.

Here’s a sample: “Megyn Kelly Doesn’t Think Blackface Halloween Costumes Are A Big Deal,” blasted one headliner to the “Breakfast Club’s Donkey of the Day” YouTube clip.

Or this: “Megyn Kelly’s ‘blackface’ comments show her true face,” CNN slammed.

Or this: “Megyn Kelly was making racist comments long before ‘blackface.’ NBC hired her anyway,” USA Today blasted.

Lucille Ball did a buck-teeth taken on Orientals. I saw it not long ago on TV.


You must take this in its context. After Pearl Harbor and WWII, Japanese were not popular.

This could be another backfire on the dems.

Megyn does have her fans, and they may not like this treatment.

Well, she’s definitely alienated people on both sides of the spectrum.

She dissed conservatives, so they ditched her. She kissed the ring of the leftist demigods, none of whom ever really liked her...and, now they’ve tossed her under the bus.

Where does she go from here?

PC is toxic to society. Period.

It’s basically a club to beat people over the head with when the left wants to selectively use it to hurt someone or a group.

It’s the worst kind of hate speech. It should be condemned at every chance. Turn it around on those using it as a club and bash them with it.

But, she’ll come our of this smelling like a rose. And the millions she will get won’t hurt, either.

Maybe she can still cash in on hating President Trump by writing a book.

Bless her heart.

Identity Politics, the spawn of Cultural Marxism is the only thing the Left’s got. It is part of a strategy. It sets the stage for the flood of illegals that Zer0 and, later Hillary, would use to change the culture of America into a totalitarian tribalist state ruled by an elite class. Such tribalistic systems are what we see in those failed nations south of our border.

Her ratings were terrible, her co-workers couldn’t stand her and the network wanted to dump her. This fake story is just a handy cover.

She alienated Trump supporters and the libs would never forgive her for having a show on Fox.

Aside of a bruised ego, $he will be fine.

Clearly this wasn’t about what she said.......and certainly not about race......Kelly’s problems with networks are of her own doing. Was just a matter of time.

.....”Megyn Kelly is a victim of Megyn Kelly”....

Yes...though I haven’t quite figured out why she doesn’t get that. Her abrasiveness wasn’t suited for a day time girly show to begin with. Unfortunately she burned out at Fox as she basically got too big for her britches as she does have man issues.

Network pundits and journalists are like players on soap operas. They obtain followings and make the news about them selves. Kelly’s was the zingers she could throw at the guests on Fox and not suited to daytime girly shows.

I still say she has man issues....

I know they were looking for an excuse. But seriously, people must be afraid to even mention race in a third person quote or else get fired.

For the record, I went trick or treating as Aunt Jemima in burnt-cork blackface in mid-1940s-Chicago without incident. I meant no offense to black people. Aunt Jemima was just a character on the pancake mix box.

I tried to care but nope, it just isn’t there. Yea, it is a cheap PC shot but live by PC and die by PC.
