Twitter Account Claiming To Be Newsmax Host Greg Kelly Tweets About Getting So High He Ended Up In Kenya

Yesterday, New York State legalized marijuana, allowing it to be smoked in areas where tobacco is permitted, while also expunging past marijuana-related convictions. Most New Yorkers saw this as a positive thing, but not Newsmax host Greg Kelly, because one time he got so high in Kentucky that he blacked out and woke up four days later in Nairobi, Kenya. At least, that's what account claiming to be Kelly says.

SMOKING WEED (aka GRASS) is NOT a good idea. I’ve tried it (back in the day) and it was WORSE than anything that happened to HUNTER BIDEN. I “toked up” with some buddies in Kentucky and woke up 4 days later in Nairobi, Kenya. With no idea what happened. DON’T DO DRUGS.

So, as anyone who has ever smoked weed before can tell you, this is impossible. Cannabis does not cause days-long blackouts. It also seems unlikely that being high on marijuana inspired the ambitious transatlantic journey to the middle of Africa, as most cannabis users will tell you the longest journey cannabis normally inspires is to the local McDonald's.

This leaves several possibilities: First, the journey to Africa part of the story is true, but Kelly was given some other sort of extremely potent drug and was potentially kidnapped by his "buddies."

it may have been “kidnappers” and “a lead pipe”

Second, and most likely, is that Kelly has completely fabricated the story.

Third, and most intriguing, is that this is not Greg Kelly at all, but rather an imposter account that has somehow amassed nearly 300,000 followers while tweeting bizarre right-wing conspiracy theories.

I read like 20 of this guy’s tweets and still not sure it’s a real guy.

Greg Kelly is performance art. I am convinced of it. https://t.co/62SXapc2OH

There's some interesting evidence backing up this theory: Kelly was a FOX TV anchor before moving to Newsmax and again has a huge following on Twitter, but lacks a blue checkmark verifying he's who he says he is. Also, some of his tweets are generally so bizarre its hard not to see them as Dril-like parody.

ALL I DID was to say ⁦JoeBiden</a>⁩’s Dog needed a BATH and some grooming and the “cancel culture” went TOTALLY Nuts. YET ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/JoeNBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">JoeNBC⁩ just called for MAJOR’s DEATH. And somehow it’s considered “CUTE”?

So, either Greg Kelly's story isn't real, or Greg Kelly himself isn't real. That about clear things up?
