Newsmax Censors My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell During Segment About Twitter's Censorship of Mike Lindell You want more censorship? Go ahead, repeal Section 230. Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly told a bizarre cautionary tale on Twitter Wednesday about his experience with marijuana ― and many readers thought he was blowing smoke. On the day New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law legalizing recreational marijuana in the state, the right-wing host wrote. Others joked on Twitter, saying that a cat had walked across the keyboard and that it was good to know that USSTRATCOM were cat people. According to The Daily Dot, USSTRATCOM’s communications manager’s child had gotten ahold of his laptop and tweeted out the “cryptic” message.

Early yesterday morning, Newsmax host and self-described beauty influencer Greg Kelly (pronouns he/him/The Big Buy) had a yen for a fried fish sandwich. So he headed over to his local fast food joint. And then he had an experience so terrible, he just had to share it on Twitter:
I just went to a MACDONALD’S and there was no MCFISH on the menu. When the hell did that happen? Is it permanently banned? Or is just my “local” MACDONALD’S. I demanded to see the “manager” but they accused me of being a “MALE KAREN” so i walked out. pic.twitter.com/oSpgFqfYGZ

When he demanded to see a “manager” (scare quotes his), the counter staff accused him of being a “MALE KAREN” (again, scare quotes his, and all-caps, too). So he bravely walked out.

Twitter is perhaps not the best place to share such a story. The kinder users pointed out that the chain’s name is spelled “McDonald’s,” that the fried fish sandwich has always been called “Filet-O-Fish,” and that early in the morning, McDonald’s only serves its breakfast menu, which does not include fish. Some suggested that perhaps Kelly confused McDonald’s with MacDowell’s, the fictional fast food joint in Coming To America (but also added that Akeem, the African prince-turned-fast food worker played by Eddie Murphy, was so good-natured, he probably would have tried to accommodate Kelly).
Others were not so kind. They told Kelly that McFish had been removed from the menu because of political correctness. “Why do you hate America and the free market?” tweeted another. Someone else suggested that Kelly had fabricated the entire story—surely calling a customer a “male Karen” would be grounds for firing—to make some sort of point about “cancel culture,” only it ended up making him look foolish instead.
Kelly, however, was unperturbed.
