Megyn Kelly Complains About A Black Chicago Protester Staring At A Cop

Those free speech rights that Megyn Kelly so passionately defended on behalf of white extremist Pamela Geller have been tossed under the bus in favor of “what’s appropriate” for #BlackLivesMatter protesters in Chicago.

In case you’ve forgotten, Islamophobic extremist Pamela Geller – whose “draw the prophet” contest deliberately endangered Americans – was compared to Martin Luther King by guest Alan Dershowitz on The Kelly File. Instead of challenging that ridiculous analogy, Kelly announced, “In America, we stand for liberty and freedom to offend, to provoke, to persuade and to defy.” On another show, Kelly said to guest Richard Fowler about Geller's stunt, “The more offensive the speech is Richard, the more protection it needs. That is how the First Amendment works.”

Kelly forgot to mention that she has quite a different standard for black protesters. During her show’s coverage of peaceful Chicago protests over the shooting death of African American teen Laquan McDonald, which broke out Tuesday after white police officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder, Kelly interrupted a panel discussion to complain about one African American protester staring into the face of a white cop.

Transcript and video below via Media Matters:

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): I just want to jump in as we’re seeing an extraordinary moment. Look what’s happening here.

BERNARD KERIK: Listen, you’re going to have guys like this. You know they want to instigate, they want to create a—

RICHARD FOWLER: What is he instigating? Bernie, I’m sorry I’ve got to interrupt.

KELLY: But Richard look at him. This is a cop out there accused of doing nothing wrong, trying to keep the peace.

FOWLER: This guy is having a silent protest with this police officer. This is his first amendment right.

KELLY: He gets right in his face and stares him down? This cop hasn’t done anything wrong.

FOWLER: That is his first amendment right, Megyn.

KELLY: To get in a cops face and stare him down?

FOWLER: And you out of all people, Megyn, believe in protecting—this is his first amendment right. I don’t understand.

KELLY: You think that’s fine? You have no problem with this?

FOWLER: This is his first amendment right. This biggest problem here is—

KELLY: It’s not a question of what his constitutional rights are. It’s a question of what’s appropriate.

FOWLER: And I see nothing wrong with this.

Isn’t it funny how Kelly only thinks some free speech deserves absolute support? And what a coincidence that the difference is black and white.

Watch it below, from the November 24 The Kelly File.

Megyn Kelly to herself:

“How dare that n*gg*r STARE at a WHITE MAN in UNIFORM, as if he has the same rights?? Doesn’t that n*gg*r know that when he’s in the presence of a white man, he’s supposed to keep his head down, not make eye contact, not speak unless spoken two, and only reply with ‘yes suh, boss’?”

Sean Hannity appreciates a steady stream of dead blacks. It saves him a ton of money on viagra.

I dunno, I guess all I can say is if you do not live in a large city and you have never had interaction with the local PD in uniforms there, then all I have to say is STFU.

Cops do not own the streets, no matter what they think. We do.

There is a large us vs them attitude in CPD, with them basically being anyone who disagrees with them, regardless of color. Yup, we the citizens, are the enemy according to them. We should cower in fear of their guns and bow and scrape to them in what they call respect, but the rest of us call fear.

CPD hasn’t changed in over 100 years. Sure, we will have a silly house cleaning. And replace the fired cops with new ones, but they will probably be just as bad or worse.

People think I’m joking when I say the Mob would do a better job. I am not kidding. They would not put up with the police misconduct. Bad for business.

From truman’s comment:

“If you let them stare at a white cop today, tomorrow they will want to vote and maybe even date white women.”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, that obviously means that blacks can make like “Sheriff Bart” (played by the late Cleavon Little) in “Blazing Saddles” and blurt out the following, does it not? :

“WHERE DA WHITE WOMEN AT??”

[sorry — I just HAD to get that one in — I just COULD NOT resist!]

In the Fux Nation, the First Amendment applies to blacks as long as they don’t get too uppity. If you let them stare at a white cop today, tomorrow they will want to vote and maybe even date white women.

From Bob Roberts’s comment:

“Geller is white, the Chicago protester is black.”

And Pamela Geller also HAS S**TLOADS OF $$$$!! FACT: Geller was born and raised in Hewlett Harbor, NY (on Long Island), one of the MOST TONY AND SWANKIEST NEIGHBORHOODS IN NEW YORK STATE, if not the nation.

’Nuff said.

The rush is on at Fox to find guests that will defend the the killing of Laquan McDonald. Every aspect of his young life is being examined by the racist hate mongerers looking for some crime or action that can be spun to imply that he deserved to die. Was he ever disciplined in school? Did he steal from a grocery store or (heaven forbid!) even look cross-eyed at a white woman? I guess we’ll find out in the next few days.

Maybe if we pray hard enough ~ the Good Lord will turn ALL of them colorblind! Worth a shot!

Geller is white, the Chicago protester is black. That’s a big difference in Megyn’s offend, provoke, persuade and defy spiel.

What a coincidence that Kelly's support for free speech is such a matter of black and white.
