Refresh for updates During a Megyn Kelly Today discussion this morning about offensive Halloween costumes and blackface during trick or treat season – and if the mental alarm bells weren’t already going off, they should have been – the host who once insisted Santa Claus is white dug herself a Halloween social media grave.

“What is racist?” Kelly asked her panel of guests Jenna Bush Hager, MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff and Melissa Rivers. The quartet were discussing campus attempts to discourage “inappropriate and offensive costumes” during Halloween season when Kelly explained, “You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween.”

I thought Megyn got a bad rap.

She may just have been talking about this:

Or this:

But it seems like there was a lot of the other kind of "blackface" going on in past years.

Guess they’ll ban the movie “The Jazz Singer” and what about the white roles that Eddie Murphy did?

“the purpose of Halloween it to dress in the most offensive, repulsive, evil way possible.”

For me, it was always about the candy!

The black face thing is nothing but a distraction. While it may be quite unpopular today, it wasn’t a big deal back 30 years ago, nor was it common or hateful.

But its keeping the Abortion/Murder debate out of the news.

That’s the point. And that is shocking.

Yes, I am not one one of them, but I certainly respect their personal prerogative.

It is more: They are trying to destroy all past cultural artifacts and traditions, to be replaced with nothing but Politically Correct Cultural Marxism.

This and the Confederate statues are just the beginning.

She's pathologicially self-centered, besides being a partisan media shill and plagiarist.

Macabre celebrations of death are one thing to avoid, but the Jews I know who don’t allow Halloween say it is Christian, and the Christians I know who don’t allow Halloween say it’s pagan.
