‘F*ck You’: Megyn Kelly Rips ‘Disgusting’ CNN Pundit Dismissing Hegseth Qualifications

SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly, during her show Wednesday, ripped into “disgusting” CNN commentator Catherine Rampell, calling out her dismissal of secretary of Defense-nominee Pete Hegseth’s military service.

Hegseth was questioned by Senate lawmakers on Tuesday, with some Democrats, including Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, grilling him about his personal past, including infidelity, alcoholism, and abuse. On “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the SiriusXM host criticized Rampell’s lack of military experience.

“In any event, CNN thought she’d be an adequate commentator. Why? Because of her long history in the military? No, she has absolutely nothing to do with the military, the Pentagon, etc.,” Kelly said. “In fact, before she was at The Washington Post, she was at The New York Times as a theater critic! But here she is telling 🇺🇸US why Pete was chosen for this job.”

Kelly went on to play a clip of CNN’s Scott Jennings criticizing Rampell for labeling Hegseth as just “a TV host,” despite Hegseth’s years of service before he joined Fox News.

Kelly asked “how is it not denigrating his tours in Iraq, Afghanistan and Gitmo?”

“The vast majority of his adult life by saying his main qualification for this job was his stint on Fox and Friends. Fuck you, Catherine Rampell, because that is denigrating his service. His service is the reason he got the job,” Kelly said.
