Overview
- On Thursday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly said, “If she runs for president, I might run… I’ll find my way onto the ticket somehow,” adding that there is “no way” Ocasio-Cortez could be president.
- Kelly directed profane and personal insults at the New York congresswoman during the segment, which aired across her podcast and SiriusXM platforms.
- Her comments were a response to Ocasio-Cortez’s town hall assertion with Bernie Sanders that GOP messaging has exploited and steered young men away from healthy masculinity.
- Kelly argued the left bears responsibility for radicalizing young men, saying Republicans “came to their rescue” and suggesting Ocasio-Cortez does not know Republican men.
- Outlets reporting the exchange noted no immediate response from Ocasio-Cortez’s representatives and no indication that Kelly has taken formal steps toward a campaign.
