Children’s Letters to Megyn Kelly

December 14, 2013 Andy Borowitz

Dear Megyn Kelly,

For Christmas, could I please have a black Power Ranger? Thank you.

Sincerely,

Bobby, age six


Dear Bobby,

Unfortunately, we do not have any Power Rangers in stock in the color you requested. Colors available include: white.

Merry Christmas,

Megyn Kelly

P.S.: Bobby, because you’re only six, you probably don’t know this, but when you use the words “black” and “power” together, they become swear words. Never say that again.

Keep saying it. Shame on anyone who doesn't understand the justice required for 400 years of slavery and repression. Liberals shouldn't find this funny. LINOs don't count.

Dear Megyn Kelly,

What color is the President?

Sincerely,

Cody, age five

Dear Cody,

Historians are in agreement that a real President is always white. He just is. Now, some people like to make believe that President Obama is a real President, and they get really upset when they learn the truth. Here’s what Megyn Kelly thinks: if you believe in your heart that President Obama is President, he still isn’t.

Merry Christmas,

Megyn Kelly

When you're racist at Fox, you can just fall back on, 'Oh, I was just being a comedian.'
