Greetings, Dear Reader,

Today in SOTD, we’re taking on the father of modern left-wing communications.

As usual, I am the enemy of euphemism and misdirection. I give it to you straight. No ice and definitely no mixer.

KELLY GIFTED LIBERALS THEIR SUPER POWER

It’s 2008, and prosecutors are playing video in the courtroom. 

The video depicted R. Kelly performing various sex acts on a 14-year-old girl. His face is clearly visible. Several people identify both him and the girl.

Faced with damning evidence, the defense tried something bold.

“That is not Robert Kelly in the video.”

The shocking thing: It worked.

There are other details of course. The girl wouldn’t testify. Various other witnesses weren’t sure it was her. Later Kelly would be accused of illegally “rigging” the prosecution through intimidation and bribery.

But ultimately the prosecution showed video of “Robert Kelly” having sex with a child, and the defense denied it was real and it worked.* 

*(Until MeToo blossomed more than a decade later. Now Kelly is in prison for crimes........
