Obama faggot news anchor Ted Perry suspended for asking why 2020 'took' Trebek, not McConnell

A Milwaukee news anchor is off the air for a mean-spirited 
social media post questioning why “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek 
died this year while Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell 
keeps on ticking.

Ted Perry, WITI’s main anchor for its 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. 
newscasts, was suspended by the Fox-owned and -operated station 
for a Facebook post on his personal page in the aftermath of 
Trebek’s Sunday death at 80 due to pancreatic cancer, sources 
close to the matter told The Post on Friday.

“2020 takes Alex Trebek but leaves Mitch McConnell?” Perry wrote 
in the since-deleted post, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 
reported. “Just end already.”

Perry, 56, shut down his Twitter account and personal Facebook 
page following the controversial post. He still maintains a 
Facebook profile via the Fox affiliate, but hasn’t posted there 
since Saturday.

A message seeking comment from station reps, as well as Perry, 
was not immediately returned early Friday. Meanwhile, sources 
told The Post it’s unclear when Perry would be back on the 
airwaves.

Perry apologized for the post, which led to blowback both on 
Facebook and Twitter, including from conservatives who said the 
comment revealed the anchor’s “bias,” while others called for 
him to be fired. Hours later, he took it down, the Journal 
Sentinel reported.

“I made a statement on my personal page that was insensitive and 
does not reflect my journalist values and I was not speaking on 
behalf of my employer,” Perry’s mea culpa read. “I deeply 
apologize for my inappropriate and outrageous comments and have 
deleted them accordingly.”

Perry, an Illinois native, joined the station in 1993, according 
to his bio. It’s unclear whether he’ll be paid during his time 
off, the Journal Sentinel reported.

McConnell, 78, won his seventh term in the Senate last week, 
defeating a well-funded Democratic military vet. He was later re-
elected unanimously on Tuesday as Senate Republican leader, but 
whether he’ll retain his role as majority leader or cede it to 
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is still to be determined ahead of 
runoff elections in Georgia set for January.

McConnell’s health became a topic in Washington as recently as 
last month when large purple bruises were spotted on his skin. 
Dermatologists said the marks and his bandaged hands were likely 
from a common condition called senile purpura.

“Your skin just naturally becomes more fragile as you age,” a 
Manhattan-based dermatologist, Dr. Doris Day, told The Post. “I 
think it’s just a bruise — a solid good bruise.”
