Now-ex-NBC host Megyn Kelly groveled before the false gods of faux virtue after defending a white person’s right to dress up as late singer Diana Ross. It didn’t save her job, though.
You’ve probably heard the story, just not correctly. Kelly (shown) was accused of “racism” for defending “blackface” make-up — except it wasn’t blackface (it didn’t help that Kelly called it that herself).
