Few people have been more severely broken by Trump, and the Trump era......than Megyn Kelly:

According to Megyn Kelly..."Trump gonna Trump".

"There's no need to obsess".

Thread:

"If the Right 'obsessed' a little more about their fraudulent reverence for traditional/conservative/family values…the country wouldn’t have to 'obsess' about cleaning up Trump's mess."

It’s amazing how Megyn Kelly, and others, are more concerned with the girls who were traumatized by unfair athletic competition....

.....than they are for the underage teenage girls who were traumatized by being sex trafficked, and raped.

But hey, Kelly “[doesn’t] give a shit about Trump getting handsy” with, or re-traumatizing teenagers/young women because transgender girls are competing in sports.

It's very telling that the porn industry has a more concrete definition of, and respect for, the legal age of sexual consent....

.....than Megyn Kelly and the Republican Party/MAGA.

Because, again, it’s all about protecting Trump.

Kelly has now devolved into someone who...

“...[doesn’t] give a shit if Trump got handsy w/[women] 20 years ago”, b/c she’s convinced herself that a sociopathic narcissist who's incapable of putting the needs of the country over his own interests is the only person who can save the country.

In 2019, I analyzed how the “proxy war” phenomenon creates people like Kelly.

.....because Megyn Kelly is a 55 year old child who takes the opposite position.....because “you’re not the boss of me”.

13/
November 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
....and that even if Megyn Kelly previously “might” have taken a moral/principled position and criticized Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, etc...

.....“but", if her political enemies pressure her to do the right/moral thing...."now...I really won’t”.

12/
November 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Kelly admits that it’s all about her ego, emotionally immaturity, and personal/tribal loyalty when she admits that she refuses criticize MAGA friends who say/do egregious things.....

11/
November 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
...if it requires her to criticize her friends or her political tribe:

“I’m not going to go after Tucker [Carlson]...or Ben [Shapiro]. I’m good friends with them, I’m just not doing that. Candace [Owens] isn't a good friend of mine, but I’m not going to go after her for a variety of reasons.”

10/
November 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
However, Kelly is either obliviously lacking in self awareness.....or she’s lying.

Here, she meekly and cowardly explains how she’ll choose silence, tribal loyalty, protecting her friends, and avoiding pissing off her (or someone else’s) audience....over taking a principled stance...

9/
November 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Nevertheless, Kelly recently claimed that she doesn’t pull punches:

“Look, it’s a tough job. You have to be able to hit people you admire, and I do. I hit them all...you have to understand, if you haven’t sold your soul, you have to be willing to criticize the people you admire on your 'side'.”

After the narcissistic architect of modern American Politics (Gingrich) accused Kelly of being fascinated with sex, Kelly shot back:

“You know what, Mr. Speaker? I’m not fascinated by sex. But I am fascinated by the protection of women, and understanding what we’re getting in the Oval Office”.

One of the most interesting aspects of this video was the last 25 seconds where Megyn Kelly says:

“If Trump is a sexual predator, then it’s a big story”.

In 2015, Donald Trump attempted to steal Megyn Kelly’s dignity when he infamously attacked her during the FOXNews moderated presidential debate, and then subsequently described her as “bleeding out of her whatever”

“...this is pathetic/blatant proof these people don't care about sex trafficking victims. [MAGA, Republicans, & the Right Wing] media care about one thing, and one thing only: [Protecting] Donald Trump. And this effort to [protect] Trump completely undermines the actual search for truth.”

The projection of Megyn Kelly in this opening monologue is stunning. With a few slight modifications, Kelly’s statement accurately describes MAGA’s cover up of the Epstein scandal....

Let’s unpack Megyn Kelly through the lens of the Epstein cover up.....

And, perhaps more importantly.....it would be too psychologically destabilizing to admit they’ve destroyed relationships with friends and family in order to support someone who is destroying the country.

It was amusing to watch the FOXNews panel decry Mamdani’s “politics of grievance”...while simultaneously supporting the most grievance-driven politician in American history.

The lack of self-awareness....of both themselves....as well as of their political tribe/leader...is mind-numbing.

...or to satiate Trump's pathologically disordered need to persecute/prosecute his political enemies:

Anyone who refuses to sycophantically feed his narcissistic grandiosity.....or soothe his pathologically fragile ego/insecurities.
