Newsmax Anchor's Latest Tweets Were So Bad Even The Far-Right Network Is Reviewing Them

Newsmax Anchor's Latest Tweets Were So Bad Even The Far-Right Network Is Reviewing Them

We've all tweeted something we regret at one time or another, but some of us tweet things so controversial they come back to haunt us.

And then on an entire other level is Newsmax host Greg Kelly, whose recent tweets are so off-the-charts even the ultra-far-right network has stated it is "reviewing the matter."


It all began when Kelly posted two tweets over the weekend in which he said his military service felt more worthwhile because his leaders and bosses in the service were White.

In the first of the tweets, Kelly called military service "a major pain," but that working with White men made it all a little easier.

"I will tell you what took 'the sting out of it'... I knew there was a Secretary of Defense who was White, just like me! Made a big difference with 'morale'"

Not content with that, Kelly posted a similar tweet about former Democratic President Bill Clinton's time as Commander-in-Chief.

"Just knowing that President Clinton... was a Caucasian male made it 'all worthwhile'--ask any White male officer who served under him."

Kelly went on to say he and his fellow officers were "so appreciative of [Clinton's] Race."

In a statement, Newsmax claimed Kelly's tweets were sarcastic attempts to "indicate his opposition to racism."

But they also said they are "reviewing" Kelly's Twitter posts.

"We at Newsmax never countenance the posting of racist views or views that appeal to racists. We are currently reviewing the matter."

For his part, Kelly responded to the kerfuffle with the most laughably cliché response possible.

Being a Marine, you see, "had nothing to do with RACE," and Kelly can't possibly be racist, because New York City's first Black mayor officiated at his wedding.

So there!

Kelly's follow-up did little to ingratiate him to folks on Twitter.









Kelly's most recent dust-up follows comments he made on Friday in which he claimed White people are presently "at the bottom of the heap" in America.

RFK Jr. Makes Eyeroll-Worthy Claim About Trump's Mental Acuity After Heated Text Exchange With Mark Ruffalo

In an appearance on the Fly Zone USA podcast, conspiracy theorist, antivax grifter, and MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. once again praised the "encyclopedic" intellect of his boss.

Back in March while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Kennedy claimed Trump had an "encyclopedic, molecular knowledge." Like a broken record, he's made the same claim and used the same anecdotes as proof numerous times before and since.

MTG Rips Pete Hegseth After He Calls Deaths Of U.S. Troops In Jordan A 'Sacrifice'

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after he referred to the deaths of two U.S. service members who were killed in an Iranian strike in Jordan last week as a "sacrifice."

The Pentagon identified two U.S. service members killed during an Iranian attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan: 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, who was killed on July 18, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, who died the previous day.

Last December, Colin Farrell sat across from Jessie Buckley on Variety's Actors on Actors series, and the pair talked at length about their inspiration, their most important acting roles, their most recent projects, which were Ballad of a Small Player and Hamnet at the time, and what drives them behind the scenes.

For Farrell, life has dramatically pivoted since he had children. His oldest son, James, is now 23 and was diagnosed when he was 4 with Angelman Syndrome, which is a rare neurogenetic disorder and typically involves severe developmental delays, especially in speech and movement.

Doctor Goes Viral After Laying Out Why Hegseth's Mandate To Treat Troops With Testosterone Is A Very Bad Idea

People noted the irony of Hegseth mandating gender affirming healthcare through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after the Trump administration banned transgender people from serving in the military.
