Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is a “freak show.” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) sounds like a “school marm scold” and is “best watched with the volume turned off.” The Democratic Party is defined by “racial identity politics hucksters.” There “are other viewpoints” on climate change science and it doesn’t matter anyway because the “earth will die when the sun does.”

Those comments aren’t by a random right-wing Twitter account but by Fox News reporter Doug McKelway, who is part of the network’s bureau in Washington, D.C.. Fox’s “news division” frequently dispatches McKelway to report on presidential politics and significant stories like the white supremacist rally Charlottesville, VA. He regularly appears on Fox’s “news”-side programming and occasionally guest-anchors Special Report with Bret Baier.

Fox News has recently touted its “news” division as separate from its “opinion” side, especially to advertisers and Democratic politicians. That distinction has long been a farce, but McKelway’s prominent presence in the “news” division only further illustrates that lie.

The Daily Beast’s Maxwell Tani and Andrew Kirell reported last week that in an email recently sent to some staff members, McKelway tried to defend President Donald Trump’s infamous comment that there were “very fine people on both sides” following the August 2017 neo-Nazi Unite the Right rally and resulting counter-protests. After Digital Senior Editor Cody Derespina agreed with McKelway, Fox News Radio White House correspondent Jon Decker responded by writing that they both sounded “like a White Supremacist chat room.”

In addition to attacking Democratic politicians, McKelway frequently uses his Twitter account to push right-wing views. He has claimed that “a good parent” would explain to their children that there are “viewpoints" other than the scientific consensus on climate change; the Green New Deal would impose “financial hardship on the US” and “won’t make a dent” on carbon reduction; special counsel Robert “Mueller's people  - or someone with apparent knowledge of the raid - tipped off Mueller ally @CNN” to the raid of Roger Stone's house (they didn't); “entitlements” are “looming like a giant ponzi scheme”; and social justice curriculums are “wasting your kids brain.”

Here are some of McKelway’s tweets:

If the @GOP is smart, they’ll sit idly by and watch this freak show self destruct. @ilhanMN is the personification of what Sun Tzu said in The Art of War: “never interfere with an enemy who is destroying himself.” https://t.co/UmKClyB6Ho

Her greatest liability is not her politics but something most viewers are only subliminally aware of - her voice. Harkens back to the school marm scold. Best watched with the volume turned off. https://t.co/O0gbDJ2gr8

Having made my living in a profession where voice is of huge importance, I pass this observation along. A strong, smart, tough, successful woman who I know remarked of @SenWarren’s Presidential announcement speech, “She sounds like a scold.”

Shameless pivot by a very old white man seeking acceptance by racial identity politics hucksters who define the party he belongs to. https://t.co/XXUQ0xlZh9

How bout this? Explain to your children your viewpoint. Then be a good parent and explain there are other viewpoints which find the earths climate has been in constant change, that man may be contributing to it, but that man can adapt. And that earth will die when the sun does. https://t.co/m0kfqrolLQ

This is the single most important moment of @SenSanders town hall. He evaded answering @marthamaccallum question that’s at the root of socialism. “Good for thee, but not for me.” Stripped of it’s guises, Socialism is at its core authoritarian. https://t.co/Rqyxx25lMJ

Or is it the Maunder Minimum, as a lot of Russian scientists are predicting? Unusual lack of sun spot activity? New mini ice age coming? We’ll see. All I know is that cold kills a lot more people than heat. https://t.co/OW7SU3l6S6

A great story for our time, but so sad that millions of “educated” Americans are historically illiterate about this - just the way their professors want them to be. Millions more lack the attention span to read it. https://t.co/qhwWw2UdP5

Have you talked to the people in China, India, or Africa - where industrialization is in its infancy - about the Green New Deal? Your imposition of financial hardship on the US, won’t make a dent, when the rest of the world is spewing carbon. https://t.co/3Nxr83G0Dq

Adding to my earlier observation... the fact that Mueller's people - or someone with apparent knowledge of the raid - tipped off Mueller ally @CNN to the raid, but not other media, also raises troubling questions. https://t.co/r34dbdDCrm
