It looks like Gerry Conway didn't like Roger Ailes

Last week, when the Fox News developer and executive Roger Ailes passed away, Conway went and said:

And what's that supposed to mean? That he thinks Ailes should go to hell? Or that he considers Ailes the devil's organ? Ugh. Or maybe he's jealous because Ailes never thought to interview him about his past career in comics and TV scripting. In his narrow vision, Conway can't bring himself to recognize that if somebody wants to start a right-wing news channel, that's their business and not his. He doesn't have to watch the channel if he doesn't want to, and if that's how he's going to go about, he's only suggesting he's against people's right to choose their channel.

He also couldn't resist writing another attack on Trump:

Straight from keyboard of a guy who's turning himself into an idiot, and doesn't know when to shut his own yap.

Conway needs to know his political drivel is unhelpful to the medium as a whole. And it gets worse:

Okay, now that's crossing the line. What next, will he want to see every innocent woman in Europe in a burka, or worse, a niqab? And does he already consider Iran and Saudi Arabia's oppressive conduct towards women acceptable? By saying he wants to see Ivanka (and even Melania) in a burka, he's condoning an abominable custom that's hurt millions of women living under Islam. Needless to say, Conway's comment is sick, and an insult to tons of women everywhere. Of course, this is somebody who seems pretty comfy with the whole notion of a Muslim Ms. Marvel, so it's probably not very surprising he'd basically contradict what he had to say about Ardian Syaf.

When Conway wants to, he can sure say stuff that's degrading.

    The 'Muslim Ms Marvel' does not wear a burka or nikab, does not come from the Middle East, and has taken a stand against Islamic terrorism. Maybe you are picking on the wrong girl? It is one of the few good books that Marvel still publishes.
