Megyn Kelly has ‘destroyed’ Robert De Niro’s comments on the American people.. During an interview on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” she discussed the actor’s political activism and its potential impact.
Megyn Kelly recently criticized Robert De Niro’s political views on her show, “The Megyn Kelly Show.” She talked about how the actor often speaks out about American politics. Kelly also remembered an interview she did while working at Fox News, where De Niro first criticized Donald Trump during his campaign against Hillary Clinton.
Kelly wondered if De Niro’s activism really makes a difference, pointing out that his efforts didn’t stop Trump from winning in 2016. She asked, “If he couldn’t make a difference then, why does he think he can now?”
Recalling her time at Fox News, Kelly mentioned an exclusive interview where De Niro openly criticized Trump for the first time during his campaign against Hillary Clinton.
“We had Robert De Niro on camera in an exclusive rant about the ex president.” Kelly said. “It was the first time he’d really come out and said how he felt about politics. And we broke that on my show, when he ran against Hillary.”
Kelly questioned the effectiveness of De Niro’s efforts, pointing out that the actor’s involvement did not prevent the victory in 2016. “So if he couldn’t make any change in 2016 why does he think he can do it now?” she asked.
Her comments came after De Niro held a press conference expressing his love for the city and his fears about Trump’s potential to cause widespread destruction. “I love this city,” De Niro said. “I don’t want to destroy it. But they will destroy not only the city but the country, and eventually he could destroy the world.”
Kelly did not hold back in her criticism. “It’s so stupid it was colossally stupid,” she said. “If you’re going to send somebody to go speak there, make it someone who is universally beloved. Robert De Niro has gone so hard partisan for the past eight years he is like the number one example of Trump derangement syndrome.”
Kelly’s remarks highlight her view that De Niro’s strong partisan stance over the years makes him an ineffective choice for such a politically charged event.
Daughter pulls off the wig of a girl with cancer, father forces her to shave her hair as punishment
As parents, we tend to teach our children to know right from wrong, but oftentimes, because of different reasons, we fail. One father learned that his daughter was bullying a girl who had cancer at school. Things went far and she even pulled the girl’s wig off. This made the father angry so he decided to take matters in his own hands and punished his daughter in a way that caused a stir, as well as mixed emotions, on the Internet. Since many slammed him for how he dealt with his bully daughter, the father later deleted the post.
“My ex-wife and I have a 16-year-old daughter together of which I have full custody (she has moved on with her new family)… My daughter recently got in trouble at school for making fun of a student that lost her hair from cancer treatment. Including pulling off her wig,” he started his post.
“Apparently there is some pre-existing bad blood between the two of them, but I don’t think that even begins to excuse her behavior.”
As it turned out, his daughter was now dating this other girl’s ex-boyfriend and that was the reason why they weren’t fond of each other.
“At some point the other girl mentioned how my daughter’s boyfriend was just using her for sex (this was actually a big shock to me as I had no idea she was sexually active) and called my daughter a sl*t,” the father shared with CafeMom. “That’s what escalated the situation and resulted in the wig incident. Supposedly they have been arguing in class ever since my daughter started dating the guy in question. Basically just stupid teenage ‘he said she said’ nonsense.”After he learned of what was going on and what his daughter did, he gave her two options to choose from in order to teach her a lesson. The first one was for him to throw all her electronics away, and the second one was for her to go to the hairdresser and get a bald haircut. The daughter chose the latter and went to school with a bald head.
“…Everyone thinks I went way overboard. Her mother went ballistic at me saying it will make her the target of bullying (kind of the point, teach her some compassion),” the father wrote.
He believed he did just the right thing, but not many agreed with him. A lot of people took their time to comment on the situation. One person wrote: “Your daughter is a bully because you are a bully. I seriously doubt this is the first time you used abuse and humiliation to ‘teach her a lesson.’” Another person added: “There’s a term for what you did. It’s called child abuse. Taking away her electronics would have been an appropriate punishment. Grounding her would have been an appropriate punishment. Disrespecting her right to bodily autonomy and humiliating her is not an appropriate punishment. She’s unlikely to learn from it and if anything it risks perpetuating a cycle of bullying.”
However, there were also those who praised his parenting. “I support your decision completely. You’re her parent so you have every right to do this, it’s not abusive, it’s real life. If she’s comfortable attacking someone for something they have no choice over she needs to see how it feels,” someone in support of the father wrote.
“She will see what kind of impact actions like hers have on the victim and that will teach her a very important lesson,” another supporter added.
So, what do you think? Do you believe the father went too far with the punishment? Share your thoughts with us in the comment section below.
