Megyn Kelly Makes Tearful On-Air Apology for Blackface Comments
Urban Hollowood ^ | October 24, 2018

Posted on 10/24/2018 8:48:01 AM PDT by yoe

An emotional Megyn Kelly began her program Wednesday morning by reading a prepared apology for her comments the previous day defending blackface Halloween costumes.

“I’m Megyn Kelly. And I want to begin with two words — I’m sorry,” the Megyn Kelly Today host said as she fought back tears. “You may have heard that yesterday we had a discussion here about political correctness and Halloween costumes, and that conversation turned to whether it is ever okay for a person of one race to dress up as another — a black person making their face lighter or a white person making theirs darker… I defended the idea.”

What did she say that was so awful?

Apparently she asked if it was really all that bad for a white person to wear a costume with blackface. Now she must wear a hair shirt and flagellate herself publicly and commit herself fully to loudly supporting all SJW causes in order to be permitted to retain her job.

NBC has a problem with abusing their women employees and protecting the abusers though so if she does that they'll probably let her stay for the optics of it.

Did Ted Danson ever apologize? And Whoopi seemed to enjoy it.

People like Kelly who apologize for their beliefs are weak.

It gives in to the PC Marxist culturalism.

She said Blackface


Why did just reading that statement conjure up in my mind a video clip of Beavis and Butthead chuckling and saying, “She said Blackface!”

:-D

So I am white (not boasting, just a fact) and I have no desire to wear a black mask. Now I am confused. Does that make me racist or PC? I just cant take it anymore...

Her fail was when she apologized. She needs to watch some training films of Kavanaugh handling this stuff like a boss.

Apologizing is throwing fresh meat. Trump taught us what happens if you don’t throw fresh meat: You win.

So the Cultural Revolution has truly begun. Mao is smiling somewhere. Even bona fide libtards must repent.

“I never apologize; its a sign of weakness.”

NOONE is perfect. You should apologize for thinking you are.

Julianne Hough went as 'Orange is the New Black' but got away with it because she's blonde and hot.

Anyone who would like to do that has my permission.

There's a difference. The right rose up to defend Kavanaugh and gave the GOP the spine to support him. The right rose up to support Trump in the face of the attacks and gave people the strength to vote for him in spite of all the mud they tossed at him.

Megyn is surrounded by lefties who hate her and all those people on the right who rose up to support Kavanaugh and Trump are certainly not going to do that for her.

All she has to lean on is the charity of lefties. They will make her earn it but signing in blood to be a full fledged SJW activist. They own her now.

“I never apologize; its a sign of weakness.”

A similar statement was made by The Duke in a movie.

Today it has been turned into a fact. Anyone the left hates is forced to apologize, whether or not an apology is due. Due to weak knees, the apologist just apologizes to relieve the pressure of the media and other leftist goons. So yes it is a sign of weakness in today’s culture.

Now comes The Donald. Things are changing.

This never happens if she were at FOX News!

Going to NBC is turning out to be a nightmare for Megyn! 1st she thought she was BIGGER than FOX News! LOL

After NBC found out Megyn wasn't all that hot stuff they thought she was, her power at NBC diminished greatly
