Megyn Kelly lashed out at NBC for bowing to pressure from network stars and fire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel.
Megyn Kelly lashed out at NBC for its decision to bow to pressure from network stars and fire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel just days after it was learned she had been hired as a paid contributor.
“The children at Dem-SNBC are mad,” Kelly said during Tuesday’s episode of her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show,” addressing the controversy over McDaniel’s hiring due to her longstanding support for former President Donald Trump.
Kelly mocked the uproar that was kicked up by the likes of MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, “Morning Joe” Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski and Jen Psaki as well as by network talent including Chuck Todd.
“Our sacred airwaves! They must be protected from liars!” Kelly sarcastically said on Tuesday, hitting out at the Peacock.
“After all, they are in the business of honesty!”
Kelly hit out at Psaki, the former White House press secretary under President Joe Biden who was hired as an MSNBC host despite having an overtly political job beforehand.
“Hey, you had no problem hiring Jen Psaki who lied for a living for years as an Obama and then Biden spokesperson, so… what gives?” Kelly said, adding that Psaki reminded her of Dora the Explorer, the main character from the Nickelodeon animated series.
Psaki on Monday blasted critics who compared her to McDaniel, who along with dozens of others were fired from their jobs at the RNC after the Trump campaign carried out a massive overhaul.
