News Anchor Resigns After Defending Brett Kavanaugh On Facebook

After writing a Facebook post defending Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, news anchor Kris Long was suspended before resigning from his position at CBS affiliate KESQ-TV in Palm Springs.

The veteran journalist took to Facebook to write a 400-word post defending Kavanaugh on Sept. 17, well before he was confirmed to the Supreme Court. The post has since been deleted.

He started off by supporting the #MeToo movement. “I have absolutely no sympathy for the increasingly long list of well-known names who have fallen from grace because they thought with their little head and not their big one.”

Then, his thoughts start to take a turn.

The thought police will eat their own the second they deviate from the approved narrative.

These cultural Marxists are sick, sick people.

Well he did make the big mistake of taking a “boys will be boys” line of argument about 17 yr old Brett, when the far more plausible argument is that there is no good reason to believe that 17 yr old Brett was ever at that party or in that room at all.

I’m thinking back to all those disgusted expressions among the mainstream media on the day of Trump’s inauguration. A roundtable of journalists and not one of them had a kind word about Trump. My impression at the time was, their noses are screwed up like they smelled dog poo. This was one of the big three channels. They couldn’t even be gracious on inauguration day. My point is, they’ve directed an attack on Trump from Day One whether it’s faux Russia scandal or faux Kavanaugh scandal.

“I have absolutely no sympathy for the increasingly long list of well-known names who have fallen from grace because they thought with their little head and not their big one.” That quote per se is enough to end his career and reputation (imo). Is he "GAY" ? He writes like a fifth grader. An adult media personality cannot be taken seriously if he chooses to use that phrase, neither can he be taken seriously as competent. Get a Thesaurus, you're embarrassing us...

This guy worked here in Pittsburgh years ago.

I have withheld making a judgment because I haven’t read his actual post. It does not appear to exist anyplace.

Never heard of him and probably never would have. Good thing liberals haven’t figured out the “Streisand effect”.

What’s the difference between a muzzle and the rat party?

Nothing, either you conform or you die.

Just remember, you are guilty until they say you are not.
