Megyn Kelly Claps Back at MAGA Host: 'Too Weak' for 'The View'
Megyn Kelly fired back at Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a former colleague and fellow Trump supporter, during a heated exchange on The View this week. Kelly, known for her sharp tongue and no-holds-barred approach, took issue with Hasselbeck's comments about American troops in Kuwait and her criticism of Trump's Iran attacks.
Hasselbeck, who worked alongside Kelly at Fox News, accused Kelly of being 'too weak' to handle the challenges of The View and even the morning show Fox and Friends. She claimed that Kelly's remarks about American troops in Kuwait were disrespectful and that she was 'too weak' to address the issues on the show. Hasselbeck's comments came after The View played a clip of Kelly's recent remarks, in which she criticized Trump's Iran attacks and suggested that American troops in Kuwait died for Iran or Israel, not the United States.
'How dare you, Megyn Kelly?' Hasselbeck exclaimed, expressing her outrage. 'You're telling military personnel who have sacrificed their lives for our nation, in our uniform, that they died for someone else? How dare you!'
Kelly responded with a sharp retort, 'Elisabeth was too weak to handle the ladies of The View and even the morning set on Fox and Friends.' She continued, 'She ran from the public square into exile to avoid mean people saying unflattering things about her, and there are many who would agree.'
The tension between the two women was palpable, as Kelly's comments highlighted their differing views and approaches to the show. Despite their past working relationship, Kelly's public criticism of Hasselbeck's comments and her defense of her own remarks showcased their ongoing disagreement.
The View's discussion of Trump's Iran attacks, with Hasselbeck as a guest host, provided a platform for their differing opinions. While Hasselbeck has been smiling and friendly during her guest appearances, Kelly's response revealed a more assertive and critical side, leaving the door open for further debate and discussion.
