Fox News host Mark Levin has escalated his feud with former colleague Megyn Kelly, branding her a 'degenerate bigot' and comparing her to followers of white nationalist Nick Fuentes. The exchange marks another flashpoint in the ongoing MAGA civil war, which has intensified over Tucker Carlson's interview with Fuentes and Candace Owens' antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Kelly has faced criticism from Levin and other pro-Israel conservatives for refusing to denounce Owens and Carlson. She has also taken credit for brokering a 'detente' between Owens and the widow of Charlie Kirk, who had urged Owens to stop spreading unhinged theories. After Ben Shapiro accused her of 'cowardice' for defending Owens, Kelly claimed Shapiro and Bari Weiss were fomenting antisemitism with their pro-Israeli stance.
Levin's attack on Kelly began after he called Pizzagate conspiracist Jack Posobiec a 'crackpot'. Both Kelly and Posobiec accused Levin of anti-Catholic bigotry. Levin responded by labelling Kelly a 'groyper-bigot', referencing Fuentes' followers. He also brought up her departure from NBC News following a segment in which she defended blackface, calling her a 'degenerate bigot' and accusing her of being 'part of the Woke Reich'.
Kelly hit back, claiming Levin was upset because he could not secure a primetime slot at Fox News and that colleagues used to laugh at his 'red-faced tantrums'. Levin retorted by calling her a 'stalker' and 'Grandma Groyper', adding that she was 'humiliating' herself. He also noted that her NBC shows failed and that she was 'the company she keeps' with Owens, Carlson and Posobiec.
