Opinions can change over time or when more evidence enters the picture. That’s why 77 WABC host Greg Kelly believes there should be some grace to hosts that often isn’t granted.
During The Greg Kelly Show, the host argued that he — like many people — have changed the older they’ve gotten.
“We were children when we were in college,” said Kelly. “A lot happens. People grow. People mature. And people have life experience. For me, I go to a place called Iraq. The biggest, stupidest war that should have been stopped. That should never have been fought. And I’m like, ‘Who the hell is gonna stand up and say that this is wrong? Am I really going into Baghdad right now? No one’s in any meaningful way in Congress saying no to this nonsense.’ So that was like that was a pivotal moment for me. I am different from who I was politically in college.”
A military veteran, Kelly broached the subject after a New York Times article focused on Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was quoted by Fox News host Shannon Bream during Fox News Sunday in May. In the piece, Stefanik’s college friends claimed the Congresswoman repeatedly and routinely denounced former President Donald Trump.
Greg Kelly shared that, in his view, it’s very clear people grow and change. He added hosts also have views different today than what they may have thought or believed in previous discussions.
