Right-Winger: Megyn Kellys Ratings Stink Because Liberal Men Are All Gay

Right-Winger: Megyn Kelly’s Ratings Stink Because Liberal Men Are “All Gay”
uly 19, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Why have Megyn Kelly‘s ratings suffered since jumping to NBC News? Maybe it’s because her interviews haven’t been hard-hitting. Or because she was giving a platform to people like Alex Jones. Or because liberals don’t trust the former Fox News Channel anchor. Or because her puff pieces don’t do much for an audience that desires news critical of Donald Trump.

None of those explanations makes sense to right-wing commentator and conspiracy theorist Wayne Allyn Root. On his radio show earlier this week, Root explained Kelly’s poor ratings by stating what he felt was obvious: Liberal men must be gay.

“Outside of Fox News, you have no support,” he continued. “You had the hottest show in the country, my friend, and what did you do? You spit in our face. Now you’re done. All those Republican men who appreciate beautiful women, we don’t like you anymore, we’re never going to give you the time of day, Megyn Kelly. Who’s left? Liberal women won’t like you because you’re coming from Fox News and liberal men, well, they’re all gay or they don’t appreciate pretty women.”

“Real men like beautiful women,” Root said. “Liberal men? You could walk into a room and they wouldn’t even notice. They’re too busy worrying about the poor. They don’t care about beautiful legs, they don’t care about your beautiful face and your blonde hair and your tight skirt. They don’t care!”

Well, at least he admits that liberals are interested in what a woman has to say while conservatives only appreciate women to the extent that they’re pleasant to look at.

I love that last thing he said: Liberal men are “too busy worrying about the poor” to notice how hot someone is. How dare liberals have compassion when they should be ogling newswomen?!

What has the world come to when men refuse to judge a woman by her looks?

There isn't a good looking guy in the bunch and now that they lost their only good looking woman, they're getting uglier and uglier. Believe me, it's true.

There just seems to be an inverse correlation between the number of pinstripes in the closet, and the number of brain cells in the head -- in the portion responsible for empathy, anyway. There needs to be some kind of exorcism to restore the humanity of people like this guy.

I know -- peel off the Brooks Brothers, throw a Big Lebowski sweater on them, and chant "the power of the Dude compels you" until their humanity is restored.

White Russians, anyone?

What is it with these far right men and their inability to see women as individuals and anything other than something to lust after. If they don't find her pretty, they find no value in her.

But beauty isn't defined wholly by someone's physical appearance. Because of her years of promoting the hateful right wing agenda of FOX, I do not find Megyn Kelly to be beautiful at all.
