That’s why she is sitting at Home

StupidMegyn

She just needs to stop. Why is she trying to be relevant

I thought you were gone for good...

Tropic Thunder wouldn’t even get funding in 2020. Let’s just enjoy it for the gem that it is. Megyn fighting to stay relevant and struggling mightily.

Shocker

megynkelly obviously doesn't get satire, sad.

Since when has FakeNews cared about accuracy? 🤔

It's time to stop this harengue about blackface. Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor and others were wonderful in their blackfaces shows.

Who knew being a moron was contagious.

Is she trying to ensure the death of her career?

Of course she did

Such a great journalist...

But was she wrong...

That is nothing. Trump referred to the President of Iraq Kurdistan as the President of Syrian Kurds. That is a much bigger OOPS we should be talking about. If you don’t think it is bad, please read about these two foreign leaders. One is not like the other.
