Megyn Kelly's Fury: Righteous Justice or War Crime Endorsement?
Megyn Kelly BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Megyn Kelly, and the last few days have reminded everyone that I still know how to grab a headline and hold it. The biggest jolt came from my own words: in a segment on The Megyn Kelly Show about the controversial U.S. strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, I said I wanted the suspected narco traffickers to “suffer,” even describing a slow, painful death. The Times of India and other outlets highlighted my comments about seeing them “killed in the water” and “losing a limb and bleeding out,” framing the debate squarely as: is this righteous fury or an endorsement of possible war crimes, given legal analysts on CNN and elsewhere calling the second “double tap” strike illegal under the laws of war. Times of India reports that podcaster Tim Miller then blasted my remarks on X as “torture fantasies” and “a disease,” pointing out we still do not know exactly who died on that boat; his criticism has been widely recirculated across social media and political press.AllSides reviewed the controversy and confirmed that the quotes being shared are accurate, not taken out of context, underscoring that the outrage is based on what I actually said, not a deepfake or a misquote. That verification gives this episode real biographical weight: it cements my public persona as a commentator who is unapologetically hard line on border security and narco terrorism, while also deepening the chorus of critics who say Ive crossed from tough talk into dehumanization.At the same time, my core business engine has not slowed. On SiriusXM and podcast platforms this week I anchored extensive coverage of the arrest of the alleged January 6 pipe bomber. A new episode of The Megyn Kelly Show focused on the breaking details, followed by an on air interview with FBI Director Kash Patel, who walked through the investigation, the search warrants, and why this case languished under the prior administration. The interview, posted in full on YouTube, puts me again at the center of the rights narrative about January 6, institutional failure inside the Biden era FBI, and ongoing questions about Antifa or other ideological links. According to the shows own description, the episode mixed breaking crime news, legal process, and sharp political framing, the formula that has driven my post network career.Speculation that I might jump back into legacy television has also resurfaced in the background, but I have already shot that down. As The Wrap previously reported and IMDb summarized, I told my audience I am not going to CBS, have had no meetings, no screen test, and would never leave this job for that network. Nothing credible has emerged in recent days to contradict that; any renewed chatter online is pure rumor at this stage.Offline, I remain woven into the MAGA universe. An Arizona Republic report on Turning Point USAs upcoming AmericaFest notes me on the roster of big name conservative media figures alongside Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro and others, reinforcing my status as a marquee draw on the right. That booking, and my continued prominence on SiriusXM, suggest that despite the latest uproar over my boat strike comments and past grumbling from some subscribers over my Epstein coverage as reported by AOL, my brand remains both polarizing and in demand, the kind of combination that keeps my name, and my voice, in the news cycle.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
