'This is national brainwashing!' Newsmax host lashes out over Democratic convention

Newsmax host Greg Kelly complained Monday that the Democratic National Convention amounted to "national brainwashing."

On the first night of the DNC, Kelly spoke to Trump campaign aide Hogan Gidley about President Joe Biden's address to the convention.

"He's going into the room as president, knowing the people in there not only don't like him, they worked to push him out of his position after holding office for half of a century in this country," Gidley said of Biden. "You cannot underestimate how much they dislike him and were furious at him for staying in this."

Kelly disagreed with Gidley's take on Biden's decision to step down.

"Hogan, great points," Kelly said. "But you know what? I don't think it was everybody in that room who made the decision. I mean, it was Obama, Pelosi, one or two others."

"You know, 14 million people voted for Trump," he added. "This is beyond propaganda. This is national brainwashing that we're in the midst of!"
