Megyn Kelly addresses blackface controversy on the air: I was wrong and I am sorry
Permalink  
 

n emotional Megyn Kelly said she has learned from the backlash over her comments defending blackface. 

"I want to begin with two words: I'm sorry," she said at the top of Wednesday morning's show. "You may have heard that yesterday we had a conversation about political correctness and Halloween costumes... I defended the idea (of blackface), saying that as long it was respectful and part of a Halloween costume, that it seemed OK. Well, I was wrong, and I am sorry."

Kelly said "I have never been a PC kind of person" but she learned from the uproar over her statements that "it is not OK for (blackface) to be part of any costume, Halloween or otherwise."

The "Today" host appeared emotional, her voice breaking as she addressed the widespread criticism she'd received following Tuesday's episode of her show.

"This past year has been so painful for many people of color," she continued. "The country feels so divided and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense. I believe this is a time for more understanding, more love, more sensitivity and honor, and I want to be part of that. Thank you for listening and for helping me listen too."

She's an idiot. She was the darling of the Right. Then turned and tried to suck up to the Left. Good luck with that Kelly you deserve what you get from those vipers!

The only people of color this has been painful for are those that bought into the outrage of the left. Anyone with a sense of decency knows the left is just using minorities. And oh BTW are people of color even a minority anymore in this country? i seriously don;t think they have been for a long time. We are so integrated these days (as it should be).

You know, if it was just a random costume, and not someone in particular, I might get a little bit of the outrage.

But she was dressed as a specific person.

I don't know.

I think it's all just for increasing tensions.

She is trying to play footsie with the Left and they don't like her. So, whatever way they can find to take her down, seems they will take.

Were people outraged when Nick Canon put up pics of himself in white face?
