Newsmax host Greg Kelly,
has a very different take on
the brazen excessive force and
racism displayed by Windsor,
Virginia cops during a traffic
stop, involving an army officer
by the name of Karen Nazario.
Now, Kelly, who I should also note
is the son of Ray Kelly,
the former New York Police
Department Commissioner,
tweeted this, support the troops.
Keep in mind, we're talking about
an army officer who was assaulted
here, support the troops, thanks
soldiers by 1, allowing them to
keep driving during a traffic stop.
Two, compliance unnecessary to
lawful police orders, 3,
don't bother with license plates,
plus, this soldier is special,
he's black and Latino, the cop is
only Latino, I mean, who cares.
Now, obviously there's a lot to
unpack and debunk here, but to be
absolutely clear, we're talking
about an army officer who was
pulled over because he allegedly
was missing license plates.
Turns out he wasn't missing
license plates,
he was driving a new car and
it had temporary license plates.
I should also know that he didn't
reject the officers orders,
he was complying.
And the idea that he did anything
unlawful during that traffic
stop that led to the assault,
is absolutely ridiculous.
But, I think it's important to
remind you guys of what happened,
maybe you haven't
seen what happened, but this video
does a good job in detailing what
the officers alleged.
And what the video actually showed
of that violent traffic stop,
take a look.
>> I'm honestly afraid to get
out, cannot.
>> Yeah, then you shoot me,
get out now.
>> I have not committed any crimes.
>> There is trouble trying to
violence, you're not cooperating at
this point right now,
you're under arrest for,
you're being detained, okay?
You're being detained for
obstruction of justice.
>> For traffic violation I do not
have to get out the vehicle,
you haven't even told me while I'm
being stopped.
>> About two to three minutes in,
officer Crocker tried to open
the driver's door.
In his report, he wrote quote,
when I attempted to unlock and
open the driver's door,
the driver assaulted myself by
striking my hand away and pulled
away from officer Gutierrez's grip.
But in his own body camera footage,
Nazario was not seen striking
anyone.
Crocker's report also says that at
this point Gutierrez, quote,
gave several more commands to
comply with orders or he would be
sprayed with his OC spray, but
no such warnings could be heard.
Gutierrez just sprayed Nazario,
still without either officer having
told Nazario what exactly
he was pulled over for.
>> Just stop.
>> Get out of the car now.
>> I don't even whatever reason my
seat belt can't ease.
>> Take your seat belt off and
get out of the car,
you made this way it all won't even
have to be, get on the ground now.
>> Can you please talk to me about
what's going on,
why I'm I being predicated?
Why? >> because you're not
cooperating, get on the ground.
>> Officer Gutierrez has never told
Nazario what he was
being arrested for, in fact,
he was never charged with anything.
But that doesn't matter to Greg
Kelly, who also says that Nazario,
quote, wanted a confrontation,
this bad Lieutenant did everything
he could to make this situation as
bad as possible.
Regarding the gun,
most military bases have strict
policies on storing weapons.
What base was he coming from?
Had he been in compliance or
non compliance?
So the host's assault defamation
has already begun with right-wing,
talk show hosts like Greg Kelly.
And Cenk, I don't think we
should be surprised, this is
standard operating procedure for
the right-wing media.
It doesn't matter if we're talking
about someone who's currently in
the military who did nothing wrong,
and there's video
proving that he did nothing wrong.
The right-wing will march on with
their talking points as long as
the person who has complaints
against excessive force
happens to be a person of color.
Okay, so let me be very clear,
Greg Kelly is obviously racist, so
he looks at that video, and
the video shows that Lieutenant
Nazario in fact did absolutely
nothing wrong, he had the tax.
He put on his blinkers, by the way
one of our viewers wrote this in,
and Driver's Ed, they teach you.
If you're not on a dark road like
that, you're supposed to
put on your blinkers and
go to the first well lit place
to stop for the police.
He did exactly as you're supposed
to, then he followed orders,
they said, put your hands out the
window, he did, and they said get
out of the car, he couldn't because
he had his seatbelt up, he did.
And then at the end, you see
the cop telling him, basically,
we know this is a false arrest so
you better drop it, otherwise,
we're going to continue with
the arrest, okay?
And ruin your life and
your career, so make sure you don't
cause any trouble.
Now, Greg Kelly sees all of that,
and he sees the cops threaten
the guy's life,
assault them with pepper spray, and
then hit him in the legs with their
knees, knock them to the ground.
And he says he,
of course, this is what you should
do, because what he means is, I saw
a black person I was scared for
my life.
Because even though my dad and
everybody else in the NYPD and
all these other cops,
including these cops, are vicious
to black people all the time,
we call them violet, you know why?
Because people like Greg Kelly
are racist, and so when they see
something like this they think,
well, that's how
a black person should be treated.
You and I look at
that video and God,
the guy didn't do anything wrong,
why the hell are you attacking him?
And why won't you just say
something simple like, hey, here's
why we pulled you over, your tags?
Look, you do have the tags are bad,
right?
Why don't you do something?
Greg Kelly looks at that video and
goes, yeah, show that black guy,
no, it doesn't matter that
you serve, do you think that makes
a difference?
No, it reminds me of
Jesse Jackson's story, he said
this, I heard this story a long
time ago and it really shook me.
I was a Republican back then and
I was like man, I had never thought
of it like that.
Now, the remaining Republicans
would never have an open mind
to seeing anything from anybody
else's perspective.
Anyway, Jesse Jackson said,
his father fought in World War II,
okay?
And they beat the Nazis,
they captured a bunch of Nazis, and
then on the train back to the camp,
the black soldiers,
black US soldiers had to sit behind
the Nazis, okay?
So, Greg Kelly would look at that
and go of course, what do you mean,
I don't see anything wrong.
Do black people, of course, they're
inferior, they should be beat up
and it doesn't matter if they did
anything wrong, they're black.
What I have to keep saying
something they did wrong, yeah,
because the color
of their skin is wrong.
So, I'm done appeasing or babying
vicious racist like Greg Kelly, and
Ray Kelly his dad was awful at
the NYPD.
Everybody kisses his ass 24/7,
he did stop and frisk, he did every
brutal policy you could possibly
imagine, they're vicious people, so
I'm not surprised.
But look, the last thing is,
normally a question is, is Greg
Kelly just can't help himselves?
Or he's the black guy that said,
listen who cares?
He guilty, I hate him, he's black,
I hate him.
Or he thinks, look,
I can see that he's innocent, but
all my viewers are Republicans, so
they're racist, and they're vicious
and they hate black people.
So I'll smear this guy and
they'll love it and
I'll become the number one host on
Newsmax, the answers probably both.
>> Yeah, I mean, I would be curious
to get Greg Kelly's thoughts
on Kyle Rittenhouse, and
the fact that he had possession of
an illegal firearm.
Which he traveled with across state
lines, and
then proceeded to shoot and
kill two individuals in Kenosha,
Wisconsin, during the Black Lives
Matter protests, last year.
I wonder what his thoughts are,
because he seems to all of
a sudden be very concerned
about gun safety in the context of
an Army Lieutenant.
Who was driving, doing nothing
wrong, got pulled over even though
he had temporary license plates.
You hear all sorts of right-wing
excuses for
what Kyle Rittenhouse did.
In this case,
we're dealing with someone who's
serving in the military,
someone who the right-wing
typically would claim they care so
deeply about, especially when it
comes to NFL players, kneeling
during the national anthem.
I mean, you wouldn't want to insult
our troops, you wouldn't want to
insult our veterans, I mean,
how dare you.
But when it comes to a traffic stop
like this, where a black and
Latino army Lieutenant is abused
with excessive force by the police.
All of a sudden the bad guy is
the member of the military,
not worth the respect.
In fact, he should be discharged
from the military as a result of
being victimized by the cops,
in Windsor, Virginia.
>> And, if he was a white,
right-wing lieutenant,
who was carrying a legal weapon,
and he is in the service,
at any chance Greg Kelly goes,
I can't believe that Republican
white guy had a gun on him.
No, we've got second amendment
rights, how dare the cops stop him?
Don't they know that white people
are above them?
They should just bow down,
he's a lieutenant in the army and
he's white and he's a Republican.
He has the right to every kind of
weapon you could imagine, okay?
That's what Greg Kelly would say,
so why the difference because
Greg Kelly is super,
obviously deeply racist.
Okay, so now I'm clear on that,
let's talk about Republicans
in general,
because we have a poll on this.
because I'm, look, I used to say,
no, I mean, again, I've told you I
used to be Republican,
I knew family members, I knew
friends who are Republicans, etc.
If you told me back then most
Republicans are racist, I would
have said no, that's not true,
some definitely are, but not most.
Now, all those folks have left
anyway though,
there's no such thing as liberal or
moderate Republicans left.
The remaining Republican Party is a
toxic stew of racism in my opinion.
So but maybe you guys are more
generous than me, so
we have a poll tyt.com/polls.
Are a majority of Republicans
racist?
Just Yes or No, okay?
Now, let me back up, before you
vote hear this fact, they had a new
poll out on Derek Chauvin and
George Floyd trial, and guess what?
More Republicans think that
Derek Chauvin is not guilty, then
Republicans who think he is guilty.
They saw him murdered George Floyd,
in front of their own eyes for
over nine minutes, I don't know how
much of the testimony they've seen,
the testimony is super clear.
They say, he did not die from
drugs, he did not die from a heart
condition, he died because you put
pressure on his neck.
And Republicans see that and
go, yeah, but
he's black, so what do I care?
Not guilty.
>> Let me give you the actual
details of this poll, so
it was done by the economist and
yougov, released this week.
Respondents were asked quote,
do you believe Derek Chauvin should
be found guilty of murder?
Among Republicans, only 31% said
Chauvin should be found guilty,
and 36% said he should not, which
is twice as many as the overall
respondents who said that Chauvin
should not be found guilty.
So, look when you see Greg Kelly or
other right wing talk show hosts,
spout these very obviously racist
talking points in response to
police brutality or
any other incident that's making
headlines that day.
Understand like we make a mistake
by thinking that calling them
racist or saying, hey, there's
evidence here indicating that.
They wear that as a badge of honor,
they want that, that is what their
audience is looking for,
that is what their audience enjoys.
And I'm not going to allow anyone
to gaslight me into believing that,
they're not watching this kind
of content on Newsmax, or OANN,
because they find it appealing,
they do find it appealing.
They 100% find it appealing, and
Greg Kelly,
he will watch a video like this and
he'll wear it as a badge of honor.
So, the question of whether or
not we have a problem with racism
in right wing media,
racism in the conservatives, racism
with policing, it's not even up for
debate anymore.
The real question is,
what are Americans going to do
strategically to apply enough
pressure to get these low life,
useless politicians to actually do
something about it other than paint
murals, just to provide a little
bit of release to protesters?
It's not good enough, okay?
I don't care about your stupid
murals, I want actual action and
we're not seeing that on
a governmental level,
both locally or on a federal level.
>> So they say,
36% are Republicans, and
that's double the national average.
So that means, 18% of all
Americans, saw Derek Chauvin murder
George Floyd in front of their own
eyes, and thought, I'm here for it,
I liked it,
he did that, not guilty.
And remember that is not people who
said they're not sure,
that is people who said they know
what happened, and
they think Chauvin did the right
thing by murdering George Floyd.
Okay, so now you know,
18% of the country
is deeply racist, by the way, how
are we not supposed to watch out?
If you're a minority in this
country knowing that one out of
five people hates you, I mean,
I'm talking about deeply racist.
I'm not talking about normal
racism, light racism, back or
your mind racism.
I'm talking about one out of
five people in this country,
hate blacks, Latinos, and
other minorities, and think it's
totally acceptable to murder them.
Okay, so that's where we are as
a country, I don't know how we're
supposed to get back together.
