‘Enough Is Enough’: Megyn Kelly Slams ‘Rush to Judgment’ on Ferguson
Mar. 12, 2015
“At this hour police officers across the city of Ferguson, Missouri, are searching for the shooters, assumed to be armed and dangerous, knowing at any moment they may find this person or persons and face a deadly confrontation.
You would think the risk they are facing is the focus of the national conversation today—would be the focus on the national conversation. You would be wrong. Today the conversation consisted of a quick expression of sympathy for the injured officers, followed by a long justification for a protest movement based upon a lie.
For months a segment of our political leaders and pundits attacked cops across this country based on the myth that 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, was shot in the back by a cop while surrendering with his hand up. Wrong! Totally wrong!
We saw members of Congress on the steps of the U.S. Capitol hands in air saying, ‘Hands up. Don’t shoot.’ And if one of them has so far apologized for misleading America, we haven’t heard it. Enough is enough!
Institutional racism is a real problem but fanning flames, rushing to judgement, failing to provide context is problematic and dangerous. And it needs to stop. Everyone needs to be more responsible…”
