Charlie Kirk as a martyr


One, the description Megyn Kelly gives of Obama - paraphrasing, a slippery snake who looks the part and can talk well and dress well but says really divisive things - is basically an inch-perfect description of Charlie Kirk.

Two, even if you accept the premise of Obama as divider (which I do not) the idea of Trump as “antidote” as ludicrous. Megan tellingly never really explains what she means by that, but what it basically seems to mean is “the antidote to a liberal president who divides us is a conservative (ish) president who divides us.”

Third, it will be a cold day in hell before Megyn ever acknowledges that she and others like her have made their whole careers getting rich off of keeping people constantly angry and afraid off their perceived political opponents.
 
When I hear people like Megyn Kelly, all I can think is ... brain damage.
There seems to be a pattern that falling from grace at Fox and being cast into the right-wing outer darkness drives many of these former celebrities insane. It is a rude fall from being an influential Fox superstar and center of attention to a virtual nobody with a much smaller audience on some lonely podcast or satellite radio or dinky right-wing network. Not only Kelly, but look at Tucker Carlson becoming ever more unhinged in his need to grab attention to try to stay relevant - it wouldn't surprise me at this point if he announces that left-wing vampires are sucking the blood of innocent church people around the country. Glenn Beck is more unhinged and paranoid than ever, and Bill O'Reilly has curdled into total bitterness and grumpy old man bitching about everything status. And it all couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of people, imo.
