Another day, another vapid tweet from Megyn Kelly.
On Sunday, the failed morning show host, who believes watching Will & Grace can turn a person gay, retweeted a false claim by journalist Glenn Greenwald accusing John Kerry of taking a private jet to President Obama’s 60th birthday party on Martha’s Vineyard.
“Don’t let them shame you out of anything,” Kelly wrote. “Your 70 degree living room, your SUV, your steak, any of it. These pathetic, dishonest, virtue-signaling hypocrites.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A virtue-signaling hypocrite accusing others of being virtue-signaling hypocrites. It doesn’t get much more ironic than that, does it?

The State Department later issued a statement denying tabloid reports that Kerry took a private plane to the party.
“Secretary Kerry lives on Martha’s Vineyard, he did not travel there for a party,” a spokesperson said. “He took a ferry to Martha’s Vineyard, he did not fly commercial or private.”

But that’s not even the issue here. Because, as usual, Kelly, who thinks LGBTQ people are “lunatics”, is completely missing the point.
Even if John Kerry did take a private plane to President Obama’s 60th birthday party (which, again, he did not), that doesn’t mean the rest of us should just give up when it comes to combatting climate change.
Of course, critical thinking has never been one of the former Fox News host’s strong suits. If it was, maybe she’d still have a job somewhere other than her basement, where she records a daily podcast.
And now, the responses to her tweet…
That still doesn’t mean that the principles of battling climate change are wrong or should be dismissed.

You mean like when you were shamed off of NBC for asking what the big deal was about dressing up in blackface?

That’s right. Be selfish and screw everyone else! That’s what this great country was built on!

So you admit Covid is a concern, and that everyone should mask up and get vaccinated. 🧐

Us vs them, as well as gotcha moments, do NOTHING to help heal the polarization in this great nation, Neighbor. Your voice is powerful. You have choices how to use it. If you decide to move in the same direction, it’s ok, but you were made for something greater. And you can do it pic.twitter.com/wPOChLrNI6

This was once a respected journalist. Hard to believe.

Glad you found something to truly advocate for. Steak, AC and gas guzzling cars! Perfect.

So when you going to call out Fox News’ mixed messaging on covid. A lot of people watch that channel. Had they handled it better it just might have saved some lives.

Another selfish right-winger who doesn’t care if the planet burns as long as she’s comfortable for the moment.

The irony is that conservatives are more than likely to have children to consider who will inherit the messed up earth. We, however, more than likely won’t have a legacy to consider; yet we care about the climate. Weird…

Another lying Republican faking outrage.

Wait, I thought con-servatives were against wearing masks, whether people were vaccinated or not, indoors or out? So Obama and I’m sure everyone at his events were vaccinated, and the events were outdoors (in a giant tent, as the Daily Mail revealed), and Obama apparently didn’t have on a mask…there’s a problem. What? Then they lie on John Kerry, who has a huge compound on Martha’s Vineyard (he’s married to a billionaire) and wouldn’t need to fly in, but hey, Glenn Greenwald posts some garbage and Megan Kelly laps it up like caviar. Do these people not have anything better to do with their time? Are they still that jealous of Barack Obama and enraged that he was elected by sizable margins twice, something that homophobe-enabler Don the Con couldn’t manage, even with Putin’s help? Get a life and give us a break!

Just another out of work over the hill forner blond bimbo looking to stay relevant with an increasing shrinking MAGA crowd. Hopefully the delta variant will finish them off and she can go away for good

Kelly is pro-gay. She supports gay civil rights and marriage equality. She does not think that gay people are “lunatics” as is falsely stated above. In fact, in the story above, she was retweeting Glenn Greenwald, a gay man. I doubt she would be supporting and retweeting someone she thought was a “lunatic.” Why Queerty is on a malicious warpath against her when there are plenty of actual bad guys out there is beyond me.

Saying Kelly is pro gay is like saying Meghan McCain is pro gay or Fox News is pro gay. Saying Kelly is pro gay is like saying Hitler was pro Jewish. Try selling that nonsense somewhere else. Read the room

Troll?

Right wing troll account desperately lying to defend Kelly.

fly her to california and plant her unemployable ass in the middle of the heat to battle the forest fires. she doesn’t believe in the dangers of climate change so where’s the danger?

I don’t know why Glenn Quagmire Greenwald has such loathing for President Obama.
He hounded him calling him an authoritarian but was so cowardly never criticizing tRump.
Maybe he’d like to live with his buddy Snowden in Russia whete they’d arrest him for being gay.
Traitor!

Thanks for sharing the Failed journalist Megyn Kelly once again reminds everyone why she’s unemployable. For academic workshops, internships and technical projects take a look at Takeoff Projects.

Glen Greenwald should the one you are calling out for creating the false claim.

She doesn’t need to work. She got a hefty payout, ($30 million), from NBC when they ‘released’ her from her contract.
