Racist Much?: Megyn Kelly Calls For White People To “Stand Up” Amidst Trump Exit
Source: Bruce Glikas / Getty Fired NBC host Megyn Kelly is back in the headlines for once again making racially disparaging remarks.

While unity is the message being made loud and clear by the Biden Administration, Trump’s message of “voter fraud” while causing ...

We went to Europe for a couple of months and did festivals and stuff. And even last year, we had a pretty big year. We were supposed to do the Ozzy [Osbourne] tour, and then Ozzy had to cancel that.
