Megyn Kelly has a message for all of you race baiters
After taking a "sick day" to recover from a bout of racism, Megyn Kelly was back in front of the cameras on Friday to read off the statement penned for her by Damage Control.
"Humor is what we try to bring to this show, but that’s lost on the humorless," Kelly said, referring to last Wednesday's show, in which she very matter-of-factly told the kids of America that both Santa and Jesus are "just white."
"This would be funny if it were not so telling about our society," Kelly continued, "in particular, the knee-jerk instinct by so many to race-bait and to assume the worst in people, especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News Channel."
....
Here, again, is a reminder of Kelly's exact quote from last week:
"The fact that an off-hand jest I made during a segment about whether Santa should be replaced by a penguin has now become a national firestorm says two things," Kelly concluded. "Race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country, and Fox News, and yours truly, are big targets for many people."

Here, again, is a reminder of Kelly's exact quote from last week:
For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white, but this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. But Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we’re just debating this because someone wrote about it.

Fox News is the real victim here

And Bill O'Reilly is not an asshole, Sean Hannity is a patriot and FOX is Fair & Balanced.
