During her podcast Tuesday, SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly, along with guests Mark Halperin and Dan Turrentine, called out corporate media pundits like Katie Couric for attempting to appeal to supporters of President-elect Donald Trump following his win against Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Monday morning, MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed to their viewers that they had met with Trump, despite having repeatedly likened the former president to Adolf Hitler. They also alleged he would become a fascist dictator. On “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly played a recent clip of Couric telling MSNBC’s Jen Psaki that she had been frustrated by Harris’ interview answers, as well as another clip in which Couric called out Trump supporters to HBO talk-show host Bill Maher.
“The nerve, Dan, like, ‘They’re anti-intellectual.’ Now she’s like, ‘I really wish people had just paid more attention to them.’ She’s like, ‘Oh, now she’s at Kamala Harris with her word salad answer,’” Kelly said. “She endorsed Kamala Harris. She openly endorsed Kamala, like, OK. I don’t remember you being honest about her word salad.”
Kelly continued with another observation.
“Some of US endorsed candidates and also were able to be honest about their problem areas. That is what happened. Like, if you want to go into opinion journalism, you must continue to thread that needle or you should just declare your connection to journalism totally dead,” Kelly added.
