Megyn Kelly has unleashed a barrage of fresh insults against President Donald Trump, branding the thrice-married commander in chief as immoral and a 'bad husband.' During her show on Wednesday alongside guest Russell Brand, the 55-year-old former Fox News host, once a staunch MAGA supporter, obliterated her former ally.
'The truth of it is, there are aspects of his personality which are obviously not good and that we've mostly just chosen to overlook,' she said. 'You know, he's not a moral man. He's obviously not the greatest husband in the world. And he's extremely petty and thin-skinned, extremely petty and thin-skinned.'
Kelly also accused the president of 'getting in bed with people who hate him,' including Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin, while ostracizing loyal supporters like herself and Tucker Carlson. 'If you have a principal disagreement with something he does, you're otherized,' Kelly said. 'There's no loyalty in return ever from Trump. Ever.'
Kelly had been a long-time loyalist to the 79-year-old Republican leader, but the two have recently clashed over Trump's handling of the Iran war. She recently mocked him on social media, disagreeing with his claim that he was not persuaded by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to start the war with Iran. Trump has called Kelly and others 'nut jobs' and 'troublemakers.'
Kelly told Brand that despite past 'skirmishes' with Trump, she and Carlson always fought hard for him. 'We've had our skirmishes in the past, Tucker's had skirmishes with him, I have too. But who fought harder than a lot of others during the lawfare against him to make sure people knew that it was bulls**t, and stood up for him during the actual electoral contest to make sure people understood what was at stake and why he had to be the choice.'
She also criticized his approval rating, which is in the low 30 percent, especially regarding the Iran war, calling him a 'cornered animal.' 'He's got no support in this Iran war. He can't bring it to an end,' she added.
'His legacy is on the line, and you can tell he can tell,' she told Brand. 'He's acting out in a very, very bad way. And my prayer every night – every night, Russell – is that he will get back on track.'
Earlier this month, Trump issued a nearly 500-word rant attacking his most influential advocates, including Kelly and Carlson, branding them 'low IQ...stupid people' and 'NUTS JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS.'
