Newsmax host Greg Kelly came under fire for a clear attempt to call out the hypocrisy of racism.
According to Mediaite:
Newsmax host Greg Kelly appears to have deleted a number of tweets that celebrated political figures because they are White, like him.
The now-deleted tweets praised former President Bill Clinton and Defense Secretaries William Cohen and Les Aspin — who Kelly served in the Marine Corps under — because they shared the same skin tone. Yes, he tweeted a number of “white, like me,” messages that many understood to be racist, or at least, irresponsibly racialized.
In a statement to Mediaite, Newsmax confirmed that the original tweets were an effort to call out racism. “We understand a series of tweets were posted by Mr. Kelly today that, in their totality, indicated his opposition to racism,” the conservative network stated. “We at Newsmax never countenance the posting of racist views or views that appeal to racists. We are currently reviewing the matter.”
Some crucial context is necessary for those unfamiliar with Kelly’s Twitter feed. The host of Newsmax’s top-rated 7 pm nightly show has become known for his Twitter messages, which are often designed to be comedic parodies designed to elicit a reaction from many who don’t quite get the joke.
I’m watching a lot of “regular TV”—There are no WHITE MEN in any commercials. Apparently, overnight, we’ve lost our interest in CARS, FINANCE, PERSONAL HYGIENE, FURNITURE, PETS, VACATIONS, SOFT DRINKS, INSURANCE, PHARMACEUTICALS, HOME REPAIR, EXERCISE, AMUSEMENT PARKS, HOTELS, CL

Now the TRUTH: being a MARINE had nothing to do with RACE. It didn’t matter. It wasn’t “a thing”—the EXPERIENCE brought us together, no matter what we were.

Kelly uses his Twitter to call out the ridiculous examples of what the woke mob concerns themselves with. Below are some examples:
I just went to a MACDONALD’S and there was no MCFISH on the menu. When the hell did that happen? Is it permanently banned? Or is just my “local” MACDONALD’S. I demanded to see the “manager” but they accused me of being a “MALE KAREN” so i walked out. pic.twitter.com/oSpgFqfYGZ

SMOKING WEED (aka GRASS) is NOT a good idea. I’ve tried it (back in the day) and it was WORSE than anything that happened to HUNTER BIDEN. I “toked up” with some buddies in Kentucky and woke up 4 days later in Nairobi, Kenya. With no idea what happened. DON’T DO DRUGS.

Now DON’T GET ME STARTED on Carrie. Consistently made Catastrophically Bad decisions—first and foremost wasting all that time on BIG who was a “commitment-phobe”—I know they got married in the end (spoiler alert!) but she would have been better off with AIDEN, THE CARPENTER https://t.co/uwChkCgmNm

Kelly’s Twitter feed has efficacy. While he may not be “taken seriously” he highlights the lunacy in which the left concerns itself with.
