TYT: Megyn 'Santa And Jesus Are White' Kelly A Victim Of Race-Baiting

"Megyn Kelly said Friday evening she was making offhand and "tongue-in-cheek" comments about Santa Claus and Jesus Christ being white, and that the controversy over the segment is a result of "race-baiting" while the real debate was lost.

Devoting more than 15 minutes of "The Kelly File" to the subject and bringing on two panelists to discuss the reaction, Kelly said the original Wednesday segment was just a way to bring some humor to her show.

"I realize that the piece by [Aisha] Harris which went on to argue that Santa should be a penguin was also tongue in cheek. That's in part why we covered the story in the first place," Kelly said. "Humor is part of what we try to bring to the show. Sometimes that's lost on the humorless.""* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

3. Might as well get use to it. This is going to be an anual thing.

Right along with getting huffy if someone says "Happy Holidays" were going to have a one way national shouting match about the color of Santa Claus. Such is the mental state of America's right wing d-bags. They've tumbled down the rabbit hole and it looks like they're staying and no amount of psychiatric drugs or electro-shock therapy is going to get them out.

Me-jine Kelly claims she intended her comments to be tongue in cheek, but a better description is that they were foot in mouth. Not content to have one of her feet in her mouth, she came back a couple of days later to wedge her other foot there as well. Give her credit for being limber.

So Bill O’Reilly has seen Santa Claus in person and says that Megyn Kelly is right — he’s white.

And Megyn, who has not been told that her show is videotaped, is now claiming that she was just joking. Sure, that’s why everybody was laughing with her and not at her.

Okay, let’s strap both of them and force them with listen to Sweet Baby James.

Somewhere, someplace, insecure white people, fearful of losing their exceptionalism is cussin’ an angel for letting little children see the Santa they want to see and the Jesus they can understand.
