Megyn Kelly v. Taylor Swift- Only one gets to boink Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift is a better, kinder, and more compassionate person...hands down
Self-love is a good thing but self-awareness is more important. You need to once in a while go ‘Uh, I’m kind of an asshole.’
Louis C.K.
Ah, Megan Kelly. Is there a more self-certain, less self-aware racist, homophobe/transphobe, TERF (trans-exclusionary feminist) in the Wingnut Grievance Bubble? Don’tcha feel sorry for the poor fool who wakes up next to her every morning? That’s a role I’m grateful not to have to fulfill.
Over the past few years, Kelly has insisted vehemently that both Jesus Christ and Santa Claus are White. I find that amusing in the extreme, as both are imaginary. She was foaming at the mouth over the racial identity of mythical beings. Of all the things to ratchet up your blood pressure over, eh?
Now, after all these years, there’s one thing that should be painfully obvious: Megyn Kelly is a shitty person, and why she still has a platform is a matter of public shame. No low lifeform should have the ability to spew their ignorance and hatred on a public platform…and be well compensated for it. Somehow, she’s managed to pull it off, and she continues to believe that she has something to say that’s worth listening to.
It brings us endless joy to see what an irrelevant TERF broadcasting from her mom’s basement Megyn Kelly has become. She’s such an unpleasant asshole, and becomes more of one every day, it appears. That is, if you even have occasion to run across her commentary, which is unlikely unless you’ve boned your Twitter algorithm by replying to one of her scoffing, eye-rolling tweets and Elon Musk will now force you to read her every utterance every time you open his shitty app.
She’s a bad person. Kids watching at home: She just is.
Just a foul, unkind, hateful, racist garbage human. A bad example for children, a bad example of humanity.
But again, her career has taken the trajectory of somebody whose only real constituency is people who are as hateful and culturally irrelevant as she is. Her bank account is probably doing fine, and hey, good for her.
The point is that she is the latest white conservative idiot to be very angry with Taylor Swift, and she’s calling on her legions of idiot fans to boycott.
That’s the punchline to her “joke.” She’s calling on her tens of knuckle-dragging moron followers to boycott Swift, perhaps the one person who makes billionaires NOT look like self-absorbed, compassion-derived greedheads.
What could be the “crime” that Megyn Kelly believes Taylor Swift to be “guilty” of? Did Swift incorporate a stripper pole and a sex show as part of the Latin American swing of her “Eras” tour?
No? Then what could she have done to set off the kind, angelic, pure-as-the-driven-snow Kelly?
She — and a bunch of other celebs — went to a comedy performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where the star, Ramy Youssef, was giving a portion of the proceeds for humanitarian relief in Gaza. The organization is American Near East Refugee Aid, and it also helps people in the West Bank, Lebanon, and Jordan.
Helping innocent people should be a no-brainer, no matter what your very complex thoughts on the Israel/Gaza war are (AND THAT IS NOT AN INVITATION TO A FURIOUS DEBATE IN THE COMMENTS, SO FUCK OFF, WE SWEAR TO GOD).
By Kelly’s reaction, you’d think Taylor Swift had posted an Insta signup sheet for the Hamas bake sale. Of course, for shallow white racist shitholes like Megyn Kelly, there’s no difference between “Attend comedy show where the proceeds will help people in Gaza” and “Recruit for Hamas.” Again, kids, Megyn Kelly is a bad person.
Yes, Taylor Swift is on Team Humanity. A portion of the proceeds from the comedy performance went to HUMANITARIAN RELIEF IN GAZA. The show didn’t feature Hamas fighters dancing in drag, nor did it lampoon the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) by showing them as the Keystone Kops. It was for HUMANITARIAN Relief.
That means relief for suffering civilians- noncombatant men, women, and children caught in the crossfire in Gaza. It’s a simple, kind, compassionate, and eminently human thing to do.
This isn’t about taking sides here, and though I have my own feelings on this matter, I’m maintaining my own counsel…because that isn’t what this is about. It’s about trying to make things a little bit better by trying to relieve the suffering in Gaza at least a little bit.
Sometimes, you can try to make a bad situation better without making a political statement.
On Tuesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the conservative pundit tore into Swift, saying she “owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology” for her appearance at the show.
“I hope they boycott her events until she issues it, because attending this thing was wrong,” Kelly said. “Do some Googling. See what they do in Gaza to gays. See about women’s rights in Gaza.”
Addressing Swift, Kelly added, “You clearly know nothing.”
Taylor Swift owes no one anything, and if we’re going to head down that path, I’d submit that Megyn Kelly owes Swift an apology for being such a shitty person and trashing Swift’s compassionate gesture to burnish her Right-wing bona fides.
There will be a time and place for discussing all the other issues that Kelly wants to raise, some of which may indeed be legitimate, but NONE of which matter now.
Sometimes, I swear Megyn Kelly is the woman for whom Dan Akroyd invented the phrase, “JANE, YOU IGNORANT SLUT!” (Google it, kids; it’s a Saturday Night Live thing)
If you watch Kelly’s speech and mannerisms, she’s not acting like someone who believes Taylor Swift made an innocent mistake. No, she’s lecturing Swift and DEMANDING that she shut up because she “clearly” knows nothing. I’d submit that Taylor Swift isn’t the one who “clearly” knows nothing.
Megyn Kelly is acting like she- the all-seeing, all-knowing Omniscient One, KNOWS the truth and is here to dispense it without prejudice or compassion. So sit down, shut up, and listen to the wisdom the Oracle delivers.
I suspect that Taylor Swift would handle this far better than I would, but if Kelly were to subject me to this sort of tirade, my response would be unprintable and would end with “Shut the f**k up!!” She has no moral authority or superior knowledge on the subject. NO ONE, especially a shitty person like Megyn Kelly, has the right to bully anyone, especially Taylor Swift, who was trying to do something Kelly probably never would- something kind, compassionate, and selfless.
Megyn Kelly could learn a thing or six from Taylor Swift.

By the bye, TERF is Trans Exclusive RADICAL Feminist, which Megyn certainly is not.
JK Rowling, she's a TERF. That one was a jaw dropper for me, but Rowling bent herself into a pretzel to emphasize the fact.
Oh, and Megyn? Taylor is prettier and WAY more talented than you, so fuck all the way off.
