Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Won’t Stop Tweeting About His Pants

Working for Newsmax should be embarrassing enough on its own, but Greg Kelly has always liked to take things a step further.

The propaganda-pushing anchor shared a recent photo of himself “chillin’ with 45,” wearing what he referred to as “BUGLE BOY jeans.”

There’s a lot to be said about how ridiculous both men in this photo look (and we’ll get to some of that shortly), but it must first be said that despite Kelly’s weird decision to draw attention to his pants, they aren’t from the popular ‘80s brand that declared bankruptcy 20 years ago at all.

After being called out on that fact, Kelly doubled down on drawing attention to his cargo pants by making a second tweet about his pants, even zooming in on the photo of them for some reason.

“Everyone busting my CRACKERS over the ‘pants’… The truth is, they’re BALMAIN (the most prestigious brand in PANTS)—my shoes are by Ferragamo,” he wrote. “Basically, I’m a Sharp Dressed Man.”

Everyone busting my CRACKERS over the “pants”—(partially my fault because I called attention to them with the Bugle Boy comment). The truth is, they’re BALMAIN (the most prestigious brand in PANTS)—my shoes are by Ferragamo. Basically, I’m a Sharp Dressed Man. Thank you ! pic.twitter.com/sDgtoGy9Ol

What’s going on here, Greg? Is Trump ghostwriting your tweets for you since he can’t get on Twitter himself? Are you being held hostage? Is the combination of BUGLE BOYS, CRACKERS, BALMAIN, and PANTS in all caps your phrase to signal someone something’s wrong?

More than likely, the only thing wrong here is Kelly’s fashion sense. Look, the pants aren’t bad, but just because something is good in theory doesn’t mean it belongs on every body, and just because two things are expensive doesn’t mean you should pair them with each other.

The fit is terrible. As is pairing the pant with a blue button down and blazer — and stupid loafers. This pant requires different shoes and a well-fitted t-shirt.

I deplore his political takes and alliances, but I just find myself feeling kind of sad for him. It’s like the kid who wears what he thinks is cool to school and gets laughed at. Have the pants hemmed a bit, Greg. It could help…

Expensive pants and shoes, and he still looks like his brother dressed him in a hurry.

Expensive? Sure

Looks cheap? Sure

also by the fact that they have clearly never heard of “getting pants hemmed to fit”

And those comments are among the nicer things people said.

At this point, it seems reasonable to wonder whether Kelly gets off on humiliation, as he seems to have such a penchant for it.

one of the funniest things you can do as a milky 50-something right winger is tank the credibility of a french fashion brand by wearing pants designed for creative directors at “experiential agencies” https://t.co/IHQ83drg3M

They are so freakin’ tight, I’m betting he couldn’t pull them up any higher.

And Ferragamo Italian shoes are $800 bucks. So $2k for his little outfit at least. So out of touch to brag about what he’s wearing. Most Americans received $2k “relief” check once last year. SMH, disgraceful @GOP

To make matters even more ridiculous, a lot of folks are commenting that there are discrepancies between Balmain pants and the ones Kelly is wearing, suggesting that he may have not only tweeted about his pants incorrectly a second time, but bought some knock off brand and bragged about them being expensive.

It’s one thing to lie to the American people about election fraud and drug trips that definitely never happened, but to lie to the American people about pants? Where do we draw the line, Greg?
