Letter to Megyn Kelly

Missing Melissa Harris Perry

Right now I'm missing Melissa Harris Perry. On her show she would read a letter she wrote, usually to someone who would not want to hear what she had to say. So in that spirit, I wrote a letter. Since I don't know where to send it, I'm just going to float it out into cyberspace and let it go where it may. Hopefully, it will reach the intended destination.

Dear Megyn Kelly,

I must admit I am not one of your fans. I think Fox News is not news, but a propaganda machine for some pretty disgusting views. However, I do view you as a human being and I respect your right to be wrong. As I would hope that you would respect mine.

You are someone who has influenced God only knows how many people from your perch at Fox News. You have seen a close-up view of your Republican "friends" go back and forth about the outrageous things that candidate Donald Trump has said.

Endorse him, don't endorse him, un-endorse him? Yet, and still, now that the votes are in, we are now looking at President elect Donald Trump.

I really wanted to believe that most American's are not racist, sexist, homophobic, bigotry minded people. The things said on the campaign trail by Mr. Trump do not line up with the values that I believe America stands for. To be honest when he said all those awful things about you. I thought your fans would drop him like a hot potato.

When the interview with Billy Bush came out. Again I thought he was done. After that all the women claiming sex harassment and unwanted advances. After all, this was the party of "family values".

The world has been a dangerous place since the very beginning. Men have never found away to make peace. They have definitely found many ways to make money off the death and misery that comes with the wars they orchestrate. We now have a man with a short fuse controlling a button that can destroy the planet. (How do you really feel about that?)

This didn't just happen. This is what happens when hate and racism is preached, implied and spoon fed to people who are hungry to eat it. Instead of more Benghazi hearing, or repealing Obamacare, or Hillary emails, how about a detailed report on what exactly the republican party had done for the average American citizen for the last twenty years.

This is the party that talks about rigged elections and they know they are rigged because of the rig them. We had eight "wonderful" years with George W. Bush ending in two wars and the world's economy on the verge of total collapse. Followed by eight years of President Obama trying to clean up the mess and get the Republicans to move on anything. They did not move, their priority was making him a one term President. THAT WAS THE PRIORITY, NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! White people who could not see an intelligent man, just a black man. And Fox News made sure to remind them that a black man should not be in the White House.

So after eight years of a black man, America would not stand for a woman. So now while Putin and the other world leaders are negotiating deals and making chess like moves. Some of us will be wondering if Trump's mind is playing strip poker with one of the sexy aides they are sure to bring along (all is fair in dirty dealing).

I don't know if Donny ever gave you a real apology for the things he said about you. So I will apologize for all men who should be better than that. Even your former boss at Fox News. There does seem to be a predatory pattern among these entitled conservative white men that someone should be investigating.

As I close I want you and everyone at Fox News to know that you played a vital part in whatever happens next. Nero fiddled as Rome burned. Just remember the Roman people did not elect Nero, but "America" has elected Trump!
