Newsmax using ‘butt-dialed’ conspiracy to explain Trump’s tampering call to Jan. 6 witness

Former New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly, who is best known for his support of the catastrophically racist stop-and-frisk policy, has a son. That kid is named Greg. Greg, like most corrupt east coast officials’ progeny, has found his way into the ultra-right-wing media sphere. He’s a face on Newsmax. Newsmax is where people go when they feel like Fox News is getting too heady to follow.

Kelly has so little charisma that instead of getting the relatively easy nepotism job of right-wing White House correspondent (like Peter Doocey), Kelly has been relegated to hosting his own, somehow less coherent, version of Tucker Carlson’s show. The Jan. 6 committee and its public hearings have been a minefield of facts and evidence leading to the conclusion that Donald Trump is guilty of conspiring to overthrow our democracy. Every day a new and explosive piece of information comes out pointing to Trump’s pathological inability to follow the laws of our land.

On Tuesday, Rep. Liz Cheney told the world that Donald Trump had attempted to contact a committee witness before they were set to appear. This was verified by a lawyer and this very possible attempt to tamper with witnesses has been reported to the Department of Justice. What does Greg Kelly have to offer up to his audience?
