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. Via an interview with right-wing show, America This Week with host Eric Bolling, the disgraced journalist complained during the chat about President-elect Joe Biden‘s call for unity after more than four years of division caused mostly in part by the Trump presidency. “All of a sudden they want unity on the left when they’ve spent the last four years calling everyone who’s a Trump supporter misogynists or homophobic or xenophobic or bigoted or the list goes on and on,” Bolling opened the discussion by saying. While unity is the message being made loud and clear by the Biden Administration, Trump’s message of “voter fraud” while causing ...

President Donald Trump says his campaign office will kick-off legal battle to challenge the victory of Joe Biden in the US poll on Monday.

But Trump has rejected Biden’s victory, claiming the election was fraudulent and that he would challenge the outcome in court.

US election: Boris Johnson congratulates Joe Biden, Kamala Harris

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday congratulated Joe Biden “on his election” as US president and Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris “on her historic achievement”. “The US is our most important ally and I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities, from climate change to trade and security,” Johnson tweeted after US networks called the race for Biden over President Donald Trump.

Anderson Cooper Dunks Trump With “Obese Turtle” Jab During Broadcast

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Anderson Cooper represented the exasperation of several people across the nation awaiting a result to the presidential election. However, the CNN host took a jab at the defiant President Donald Trump, calling him an “obese turtle in the process. The swipe happened during a Thursday night broadcast shortly after President Trump held a news conference from the White House briefing room, addressing the nation by suggesting voter fraud was afoot hence the delay of an announcement and full declaration of a new president-elect. Cooper apparently had enough of the former business mogul’s talk. “That is the President of the United States,” Cooper said in response to the conference. “That is the most powerful person in the world and we see him like an obese turtle on his ...

LeVar Burton Rips Keith Olbermann’s Weird Kunta Kinte Trump Tweet

Source: The Washington Post / Getty As far as political commentators go, Keith Olbermann may no longer be a go-to pundit for some but that hasn’t kept him from becoming a vocal critic of President Donald Trump. In one of his Twitter missives, the former ESPN and MSNBC host made a weird tweet referencing LeVar Burton‘s iconic Kunta Kinte character from the Roots miniseries, and the actor made sure to school Olbermann on his mishap. In a now-deleted tweet that got some burn before its disappearance, Olbermann wrote the following in connection to a Fox News segment focused on President Trump. “Yes, @realDonaldTrump has always been, will always be, and on the day of his bid for re-election, still is: a whiny little Kunta Kinte,” Olbermann wrote on Election Day. The tweet got a measurable amoun...

The Presidential Election Remains Undecided While Trump Prematurely Gloats

Source: Array / WENN The presidential election will most likely continue to dominate the news cycle for much of the week if not longer as the race is still far too close to call. Despite the slim margins, President Donald Trump has prematurely declared victory over Joe Biden and it remains to be seen how the ending plays out. Election Day (Nov. 3) was, as observed by many a commentator, pundit, and anchor, a nail-biter with Biden owning 238 electoral college votes to Trumps’s 213 according to The Associated Press. And like the presidential election, the U.S. Senate race is also undecided with the Democratic Party gaining one seat thus far but are still sitting at 45-47 with the Republican Party holding the slim majority. President Trump, taking to his favored vehicle of Twitter after being...

US election: Republicans hold back Democrats, narrowing path to Senate control

The battle for power in the Senate tightened into Wednesday as Democrats picked up a seat in Colorado, but suffered a setback in Alabama, and Republicans held their own in high-profile races in South Carolina, Iowa, Texas and Kansas, dramatically narrowing the political map. Republicans fought to retain their Senate majority by turning back a surge of Democrats challenging allies of President Donald Trump, and the Democrats’ various paths to seizing control were growing more limited. With several contests still too early to call, and one Georgia race heading to a January runoff, the final verdict is expected to drag on. Democrats gained a seat when ex-Gov. John Hickenlooper ousted GOP Sen. Cory Gardner in Colorado, a must-win to flip the Senate, but couldn’t hold on in Alabama, where forme...
