Megyn
Kelly…in the footsteps of Sarah Palin

Megyn
Kelly of Fox News is at it again. Just last week she faced a public backlash
when she announced that both Santa and Jesus were white.
She tried to backtrack
on the comment after many late night comedians used her as fodder for their
shows, pointing out that one, Santa isn’t real and the historical figure he is
based on Saint Nicholas was Turkish and likely brown skinned and two, that
Jesus was Middle Eastern and also brown skinned.
She
claimed on her next show that it was all just a joke but her true colors came
out on last night’s show when the cameras turned off but her mic was still on.
The
panel which included Bernard Whitman, a Democratic strategist, Arthur Aidala, a
legal analyst for Fox and Monica Crowley, a conservative commentator had just
finished a heated debated about the suspension of Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson
for making anti-gay comments. They argued about 1st amendment rights.
When the segment concluded Whitman asked Kelly if she thought her erroneous
comments about Santa and Jesus would fall under protected speech. That’s when
everything went horribly wrong for Kelly.
Not realizing her mic was still on
and she was being recorded, she announced that she stood by her statements and
thought it was ridiculous that she had to apologize. She continued stating,
“Look, every significant historical figure has been white.”
Whitman
was understandably shocked and countered with, “What about Gandhi?” Kelley
fired back, “He was obviously white. Everyone knows that.” Aidala and Crowley
agreed with Megyn’s analysis.
Whitman shot back again with a list of
influential figures, “Martin Luther King, Mandela, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman,
Cleopatra.” Her response sent Whitman storming out of the studio.
“I said
significant. None of those people are significant.”
No
word yet about how Fox News is going to handle this situation. If those in
charge run true to form Kelly will likely get a bonus.
