in World News Megyn Kelly Goes Off on Caitlin Clark for Her ‘Sad’ ‘White Privilege’ Pandering
We have seen it many times: the mindless, reflexive recitation of a woke catechism that has no basis in reality.
Still, the performance feels different now. In fact, it almost seems as if the oblivious performer has somehow traveled to our time from the recent past.
Tuesday on social media platform X, conservative commentator Megyn Kelly excoriated Caitlin Clark of the WNBA’s Indiana Fever for the latter’s “sad” decision to acknowledge her own “white privilege” as the biggest superstar in a league dominated by black players.
“Look at this. She’s on the knee all but apologizing for being white and getting attention. The self-flagellation. The ‘oh pls pay attention to the black players who are REALY the ones you want to celebrate,’ ” Kelly wrote.
“Condescending. Fake. Transparent. Sad,” the longtime journalist and popular conservative podcaster concluded.

Clark’s unfortunate comments appeared Tuesday in Time Magazine, which named her its Athlete of the Year.
“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege,” she said.
