During Kelly's disgusting attacks on Frederica Wilson he referred to her as an Empty Barrel.
he used the same term on a Hispanic Member of Congress who criticized him over Immigration a few weeks ago.
<"They can call people liars, but it would be inappropriate for me to say the same thing back at them," Kelly said. "As my blessed mother used to say, 'Empty barrels make the most noise.'">

Don't they remember Kelly questioned if torture even took place by saying (paraphrasing) If it happened, even IF everything they (Senate report) claim is true - (he was mocking human rights organizations by saying that torturing people (IF it even happened) does not mean you've lost any moral ground)???
Kelly is and has always been a piece of shit.

And the positions Kelly took in the past are evidence of his always being an asshole. Making his recent action not surprising.
That decorated officer reduced himself a long time ago.
