Taking time out from his network’s around-the-clock rage-fest towards DirecTV, Newsmax host Greg Kelly whined on Wednesday night that it was “inappropriate” for Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to wear a “durag” during his ongoing cancer treatment.
Raskin announced in late December that he had been diagnosed with a “serious but curable form” of large B-cell lymphoma and that he would undergo outpatient chemo-immunotherapy to treat the disease. Additionally, he noted that he would continue to work throughout the chemo, which would cause hair loss.
During Wednesday’s raucous House Oversight Committee hearing on Twitter’s “censorship” of the Hunter Biden laptop, Raskin drew notice on social media for his purple bandana. In fact, the Maryland Democrat has donned the playful head coverings since returning to Capitol Hill last month, even crediting musician Steven Van Zandt for “creating this look for American men going through something.”
