Megyn Kelly Slams ‘Liberal Politicians in Minnesota’ for Honoring George Floyd on Memorial Day
Megyn Kelly slammed Minnesota politicians and Governor Tim Walz for honoring George Floyd on the six-year anniversary of his death, which landed on the same day as Memorial Day.
“Liberal politicians in Minnesota seem to only care about one thing, the death of one man, and one man only, George Floyd,” Kelly, 55, said during the Tuesday, May 26, episode of her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show. “It was really unbelievable.”
Floyd was murdered May 25, 2020, by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, when Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck.
“Their public messages around death and dying yesterday on Memorial Day, where they were not about our fallen troops, they were about George fing Floyd,” she continued. “The incident sparked days of protests and riots, and supercharged the DEI movement that continues to infect our children in schools across this country, in the government, in all sorts of institutions in America.”
Kelly went on to praise President Donald Trump — who was also president at the time of Floyd’s murder — for “rolling back” DEI initiatives.
“Where’s the apology for all of the people you tortured for six years, all the students you didn’t let in because they happen to be white or, God forbid, Asian? Where’s your accountability for going so insane you violated federal civil rights laws for six years?” she questioned.
On Monday, Governor Walz took to social media to honor the life of Floyd, writing, “Six years ago today, George Floyd’s murder started a global movement for change. Let us continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals of liberty and justice for all.”
The journalist then slammed the former VP hopeful for attending a memorial for Floyd rather than a local Memorial Day event.
“The old white guy was too busy busting a move in George Floyd Square. Is anyone surprised?” Kelly continued in her tirade. “Mr. Stolen Valor didn’t have time to go where the actual troops who have served showed up to pay tribute to the fallen.”
