Megyn Kelly might put in her own bid for a White House run if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez throws her hat in the ring.
On Thursday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host lit into AOC for saying that Republicans were responsible for radicalizing young men. This sent Kelly into a tirade that ended with her threatening to get put on a presidential ticket if the Democrat congresswoman was also on one.
“There was indeed one party that radicalized today’s young men, and it was yours, madam,” Kelly said. “It was yours. It was yours who blamed them for literally everything just because they were born and born male. The nerve. Your side demonized them at every turn and laughed when they ever dared to express any actual pain at the circumstances that they were forced into through no fault of their own. You are absolutely disgusting to now try to turn it around and say it is the Republican Party, which came to their rescue, that quote ‘radicalized them.’ You don’t know any young Republican men, I guarantee you right now, that woman knows zero Republican men, because none of them would be seen with her.”
She finished: “F–k that woman. If she runs for president, I might run … I’ll find my way into the ticket somehow. There’s no way this person can run for president or be president. No.”
Representatives for Ocasio-Cortez did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
Kelly has long-been a vocal Republican and supporter of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Talk of radicalization has only heightened in the last month and a half in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The host also spoke on Thursday’s episode about heading up to Washington D.C. for Kirk’s Medal of Freedom Ceremony.
“Obviously, it was bittersweet,” Kelly said. “Charlie, of course, didn’t receive this honor while still alive. We all thought there would be time. Everyone thought Charlie would have time to run for and become and be president – I mean, literally everybody I have spoken to believed that would happen – and then you get your honors late in life. That is just generally how it works. But, amazingly, the award was appropriate.”
