Megyn Kelly Commits Capital Thought Crime

The extravagantly lucrative career of Megyn Kelly appears to be over. She has committed a capital thought crime:

Kelly will not be appearing on her NBC show on Thursday, two days after the host’s controversial comments…

Two sources close to the situation tell The Hill that NBC and Kelly are working on an exit deal.

Yes, her thought crime was that serious:

Kelly sparked criticism Tuesday when during a panel segment on her show, “Megyn Kelly Today,” regarding Halloween costumes, she said dressing up in blackface was considered fine when she was growing up “as long as you were dressing like a character.”

She pointed out that “Real Housewives” actress Luann de Lesseps once dressed up as Diana Ross, a black singer.

“People said that was racist and I don’t know, I felt like, who doesn’t love Diana Ross?” Kelly said on Tuesday.

The thought police at her own network came down fast and hard. Her guest panelist NBC News reporter Jacob Soboroff immediately called racism. Soon afterward,

On “NBC Nightly News” on Tuesday evening, anchor Lester Holt [a Person of Politically Preferred Pigmentation] addressed the Kelly issue. The next day, “Today” did another story on Kelly’s comments, as did MSNBC, which included anchor Craig Melvin [also a PPPP] calling Kelly’s comments “indefensible.”

As per the usual script, Kelly issued an obsequious apology that was rejected.

[L]ongtime “Today” meteorologist Al Roker [another PPPP] said the apology wasn’t good enough.

Similarly, the victims of Stalin’s show trials publicly wept with regret over their imaginary crimes prior to their date with the firing squad.

According to the prancercizing, pants-crapping, but racially correct Roker, “To demean and denigrate a race wasn’t right.”

Stones were cast from the very top:

“There is no other way to put this: I condemn those remarks; there is no place on our air or in this workplace for them,” [NBC News president Andy] Lack told staff at the town hall on Wednesday afternoon.

Bye, Megyn. It was a nice career while it lasted.

An NBC News spokesperson told The Hill in a statement, “Given the circumstances, ‘Megyn Kelly Today’ will be on tape the rest of the week.”

She has already been dumped by her talent agency.

Anyone out there who is still sane probably noticed that Kelly in no way meant her comment as a putdown. On the contrary, she expressed dutiful adoration for a Motown singer.

But intent doesn’t matter when it comes to thought crime. Cultural Marxism — more specifically, the worship of blacks — is the official religion of the progressive ruling class. Certain references (e.g., to blackface) are regarded as blasphemy in this religion. It doesn’t matter if you spit on a Koran by accident; you had still better not do it in Iran or Saudi Arabia if you like living.

Political correctness is a soft Reign of Terror.
