The Republican cabal is falling apart at the seams
as more than 10,000 people have signed a petition calling for Fox News’
Megyn Kelly to be banned from future Republican pretender debates.
The Change.org petition states:
Megyn Kelly finds the state of our union amusing and “fun”, whereas the viewers (our fellow citizens) deserve a much more serious moderator.In addition, she had a clear agenda to attack Trump, by tenaciously clinging to his past rather than his vision for the future. She focused on Trump personally, rather than politically. Ultimately, she did not live up to the “fair and balanced” slogan at Fox News and News Corporation.While her disdain for Trump was evident, this petition is a call for truly fair and balanced coverage of ALL candidates. Thus, Megyn Kelly should be barred from hosting or moderating all future Republican Pretender Debates.
The problem with this petition is that it assumes
that Fox News is fair and balanced. It isn’t. That isn’t Megyn Kelly’s
fault because her questions about Trump’s sexism were completely valid.
The issue is that none of the other candidates were asked about their
controversial comments.
No one bothered to ask Mike Huckabee about his sexism. Nobody asked Jeb Bush how he could have hired a racist and sexist chief technology officer for his campaign, or the fact that Scott Walker got rid of Wisconsin’s equal pay law.
Trump was asked about his bankruptcies, but no one questioned Rubio on the dozens of financial skeletons in his closet.
Megyn Kelly isn’t the issue. The issue is the
blatant hypocrisy of a cabal that is at war with an entire gender
trying to ostracize Trump for saying out loud what the rest of
the cabal is doing.
Fox News is not “fair and balanced” only an
unbalanced partisan would believe that they are. Megyn Kelly asked the
right question, but she need to ask it to all the Republican candidates
instead of picking on just one.
The
Republican cabal is in chaos because one candidate is exposing and
exploiting all of the divisions within their party. The rnc tried to rig
the game to avoid a repeat of the 2012 primary debacle, but instead of a
smooth process they have given birth to a bigger and more destructive
sequel.
