Last night’s 96th Academy Award Show might have slipped under your radar, but there was a clear winner amidst the glitz and glamour – the sanctimonious leftists who excel in pretending to be morally superior. At the forefront of this charade was Jimmy Kimmel, hosting the Oscars for the fourth time to an adoring crowd of Hollywood stars, despite his controversial history with blackface.
Kimmel’s penchant for blackface, showcased through his portrayals of basketball star Carl Malone and others, did little to deter ABC, his employer, from giving him a platform. This hypocrisy was further highlighted by the Academy Awards’ own history of promoting blackface performances, including those by Billy Crystal and Robert Downey Jr.
Another recipient of Kelly’s critique is Robert De Niro, who used his recent appearance on Bill Maher’s show to launch into a tirade against Donald Trump. De Niro’s condemnation of Trump’s character stands in stark contrast to his own willingness to portray morally questionable characters on screen, raising questions about his integrity as an actor.
But perhaps the most egregious display of hypocrisy came from ABC’s George
Stephanopoulos, who used his Sunday show to interrogate Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace about her support for Trump. Stephanopoulos’s line of questioning, which invoked Mace’s past trauma as a rape survivor, was condemned by Kelly as offensive and out of line.
Kelly’s scathing critique of these prominent figures serves as a reminder of the hypocrisy rampant in Hollywood and the media. Despite their claims of moral superiority, they are quick to overlook their own transgressions while virtue-signaling to the public. As Kelly aptly puts it, hypocrisy is alive and well among these sanctimonious leftists, and it’s time for them to be held accountable for their actions.
