Greg Kelly, Newsmax Host, speculates that Nancy Pelosi might have had her own husband attacked. Kelly deleted this speculation later but not before it was seen and copied. Yes, he thinks that woman who has been married to a man for close to 60 years would arrange for a man to attack her 82 year old husband in order to win an election campaign. This is the state of American politics.

It is sad that not even for one very brief moment that Kelly could not just keep his mouth shut. And that is the best response when dealing with awkward questions about people you may not like. He doesn’t have to wish her and her husband well as they go through this unhappy event. He could have followed the old adage of if he couldn’t say something nice, he could have just said nothing. That would have been fine.

Instead he decided to behave badly. He raised his eyebrows suspiciously for everyone to see and speculated how this hammer attack is happening so close to the end of a hard fought election, could Nancy Pelosi have initiated this attack in order to gain sympathy for the Democrats. I realize that Kelly’s fallback position is if Nancy Pelosi is involved there must be some conspiracy going on. But his quick draw reaction was so premature, unnecessary and cruel. It just happened, couldn’t he wait a day or two, before connecting the dots which lead to conspiracy. In a few days, the cops will know more, more will be known about the attacker and, then, and only then, can he draw the lines connecting this attack to some Nancy Pelosi conspiracy or another.
