Megyn Kelly Gets Dragged Online For Her ‘Racist’ Reaction To DNC Speech

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly found out the hard way Monday evening that sometimes it’s better to remain silent than speak and let the internet know what a racist sack of human dung you are.

Reacting to a speech from Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) at the opening night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in which Butler noted that both she and Vice President Kamala Harris had graduated from historically black colleges, Kelly posted this on Twitter:

“Laphonza Butler spkg – (she filled Feinstein’s seat) – celebrating that she and Harris both graduated from historically black colleges. Imagine the white person up there: I’m proud to tell you I went to a mostly white university!”

Of course, if Kelly knew a damn thing about American history, she’d know why black colleges and universities were created in the first place, as the Thurgood Marshall College Fund notes on their website:

“Black students were unwelcome at existing public and private institutions of higher education (IHEs), even after the passing of specific legislation, resulting in a lack of higher education opportunities.”

Kelly was then dragged on social media.

Fox Contributor Slammed For ‘Racist Garbage’ Attack On Kamala Harris

According to Fox News contributor Charles Gasparino, American voters should be terrified by the prospect of President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race for the White House. Why? Because, Gasparino alleges in an article he wrote for the New York Post, Biden’s departure would clear the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to potentially be president of the United States.

Why is Gasparino so apoplectic about Harris as U.S. head of state? Well, because she’s a black woman, of course.

In his op-ed, Gasparino writes, “There is a raging debate in corporate America on the future of DEI, aka Diversity ­Equity and Inclusion, because it is literally destroying businesses that go there.”

“And yet the American public may soon be subjected to DEI writ large in the next president of the United States, if Kamala Harris finds her way to the top of the Democratic ticket while Joe Biden wilts away as the party’s presidential nominee after his horrific ­debate performance.”

“Yes, maybe the most irrepressibly fatuous politician in America may become the leader of the free world because the Democratic Party is unable to break its DEI stranglehold.”

Wouldn’t Harris be the logical choice to replace Biden if he were to step aside? After all, she’s been his vice president for four years and was part of the team that helped implement the Biden agenda. She’s also sharp as a whip, a brilliant debater, and has never lost an election.

Gasparinio’s column set off a firestorm of negative reactions on social media, where many commenters noted that he should have just called her the N-word and embraced his blatant racism.

Trump’s ‘Black Roundtable’ At Detroit Church Features Almost Nothing But White People

Convicted felon Donald Trump held what was billed as a “black roundtable” at a Detroit church on Saturday, but based on reports from the event, the vast majority of the audience was lily white.

According to CNN:

“Donald Trump’s campaign on Saturday launched a coalition group targeting Black voters as the former president campaigned in Detroit in an effort to win over a segment of the electorate that has long overwhelmingly backed Democrats.”

“Trump held a community roundtable at the predominantly Black 180 Church in Detroit, where he was joined by two Black Republicans — Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson — who were part of the launch of the ‘Black Americans for Trump’ group.”

While he was at it, the disgraced ex-president also bragged that he had done “more for the Black population than any American president since Abraham Lincoln,” which is an odd statement considering that Trump has routinely suggested that African Americans accused of crimes should be executed.

However, it was the preponderance of white faces at the Detroit event that led to the most discussion on social media, where some people called the event a scam.

Trump Shares Meme On Social Media That Threatens Black Poll Workers

Disgraced former president Donald Trump reposted a meme Monday on his financially strapped Truth Social site that many are saying is clearly meant as a threat to black poll workers who will help count ballots in the upcoming 2024 election.

The meme shows two black poll workers sitting at a table, both of whom are wearing protective masks that read “Biden/Harris 2020.”

The photo is accompanied by this message: “Start arresting the poll workers and watch how fast they tell you who told them to cheat.”

As you might expect, that set off a torrent of discussion on Twitter.

Capitol Insurrection January 6 Racism WTF?!

Mom Of Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli Babbitt Says A ‘Black Woman’ Would Have Been Treated Better Than Her Daughter

The mother of the late Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt is suggesting that if her daughter had been black, she might still be alive.

Speaking with former New York City mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani on his podcast, Micki Withoeft remarked:

“Nancy Pelosi sitting up there in her castle mad that the minions dared show up that day — well, you know there are a million strong people there to address their government and they made an attempt to kill the First Amendment. But the First Amendment isn’t dead. It’s wounded but it’s not dead. And people are startin’ to realize things that happened that day.”

The First Amendment, however, doesn’t give anyone the right to attack the seat of government and call for the vice president to be hanged.

And while Withoeft also claimed that her daughter did nothing wrong on January 6, the facts suggest otherwise, the Los Angeles Times notes:

In the seven months since she was killed, Babbitt has become a martyr to the far right. In the twisted revisionist narrative being pushed by former President Trump and his supporters, she was a peaceful demonstrator — an “innocent, wonderful, incredible woman” — who was unjustifiably murdered by the police even though she posed no danger.

But that’s not what the video shows. Her death was a tragedy, to be sure — but it was hardly an unjustified murder.

Here’s how Babbitt managed to get herself killed:

Members of Congress can be seen on the other side of the door. Also on the other side of the door is a police lieutenant holding a gun, pointing it at the mob, an unmistakable warning to stay back.

But Babbit decides instead — although it’s a little hard to see on the video — to climb through the shattered glass window into the Speaker’s Lobby, past the police barricade, toward the pointed gun. If she is allowed through, it seems inevitable that the mob will follow.

As she climbs through, a single shot is fired and she drops to the floor.

If Ashli Babbitt didn’t want to get shot, she shouldn’t have rioted and gone against the orders of the cop who told her to stop. She’s the one who caused her death.

Here’s the podcast:
