Megyn Kelly's tragic journey from gaslighter to useful idiot.
Megyn Kelly wasn’t always a coward. Nor was she always an ignorant stooge for America’s enemies. On the contrary, Grandma Groyper’s descent into pitiable lunacy is a fairly recent phenomenon.During her long career at Fox News, Kelly made her bones as a no-nonsense, vaguely centrist, mostly nonideological interviewer. Kelly, a lawyer by background, grilled her cable news interview subjects as a prosecutor might hound an expert witness on the stand. Sometimes that made things rather uncomfortable for Fox News, as during her infamous feud with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. But at least Kelly’s brand was clear: tough, firm, politically “independent.”
Or so it seemed.
Because at NBC News, her next career stint, the ideological chameleon Kelly shifted leftward in accordance with her 30 Rock paymasters. Kelly, whose unpersuasive shtick these days involves cussing like a sailor on SiriusXM and touting her purported badass MAGA bona fides on culture war issues, used her NBC platform to glorify a set of “transgender” teenagers on set. (Kelly has said she’s “evolved” on the issue, but does any Jew or Christian—let alone one who’s been touting her daily rosary of late—really need to “evolve” on the divinely established sexual dimorphism of Genesis 1:27?) She beclowned herself on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show in a fat suit, parading around like a sumo wrestler who lost an embarrassing wager.
Allegedly disliked at the Peacock despite her sycophantic intellectual appeasement, Kelly was fired and relaunched her midlife career as a quinquagenarian podcaster. Consignment to the digital ghetto was not Kelly’s preference. As Dave Rubin—one of many one-time close personal friends Kelly has thoroughly distanced herself from since embarking on her peculiar new journey—recently observed, in a post about the not-so-dynamic duo of Grandma Groyper and the Doha Shill (Tucker Carlson): “This isn’t the place they wanted to be, rather it’s the place they were banished to.” Indeed.
“The Megyn Kelly Show” launched in September 2020, just before the woman who would become Grandma Groyper hit the half-century mark. Quickly, Kelly played to the Trumpian zeitgeist and began tacking rightward. She developed a particularly combative persona on the issue of transgenderism, cosplaying as a vociferous foe despite her earlier on-air celebrations of teenager chemical castration and genital mutilation while chasing high glory at 30 Rock. In those early days following the horrific Simchat Torah Massacre of Oct. 7, 2023, Kelly also seemed—and, in hindsight, pretended—to care deeply about the plight of Israel and the ancient scourge of Jew-hatred.
I know that because she had me on her show to discuss it all—numerous times. On my first appearance, just 10 days after the pogrom, Kelly retained me on the show for an entire hour to, as I put it on X at the time, “discuss everything about the Israel-Hamas war—what the U.S. should and should not be doing, the situation on the ground, the disgusting reactions on American university campuses, and more.” Kelly seemed so genuine. But the joke, it turns out, was on me—and on all of us. Indeed, if she hadn’t made it as a broadcaster, Kelly would have surely excelled as an actress—or perhaps as a poker player. She is certainly a talented gaslighter.
My final appearance on Kelly’s show was in October 2024. By then, her bestie the Doha Shill had already emerged as a formidable Jew-hater and hardened foe of Western civilization, and I sensed Kelly beginning to slowly shift as well. In August 2025, Kelly—who counts the maniacal anti-Israel provocateur (and sexual deviant) Glenn Greenwald as perhaps her most frequent on-air guest—brought on Charlie Kirk for a bizarre interview in which she blasted Israel supporters for not always giving her the benefit of the doubt. The only purpose of such an interview, let alone laundering Kirk to air such petty grievances, could be to grease the skids for a full Carlson-esque flip. (Notably, Kirk’s own thoughts on these matters in the final year of his life have been greatly distorted by purported “friends” like Kelly and Carlson.)
The ideological chameleon was back. Kind of.
Even after Kirk’s horrific assassination, Kelly still did not immediately morph into the full-fledged Grandma Groyper of today. About a week after the assassination, Kelly privately complained to confidantes that Candace Owens—an erstwhile pro-Western ally-turned-unhinged anti-Western lunatic who also targeted yours truly in those terrible first few post-assassination weeks—was acting in appalling fashion by fabricating the most ludicrous and offensive conspiracies imaginable. (Yes, Grandma, I have my sources and I’ve seen the screenshots.) Even as she lied to Ben Shapiro (and America) and feigned ignorance over Owens’ utter madness, Kelly still claimed that “all the evidence [in the Kirk assassination] points directly to Tyler Robinson.”
And then, all the wheels, which had already been wobbling, finally fell off. It happened as it always happens—gradually, and then suddenly, per Hemingway. Accelerating after Kirk’s assassination and then reaching escape velocity over the past month, Kelly has now decided where her loyalties lie.
About a month ago, Kelly hosted on her show Dave Smith, a midwit Greenwald-esque anti-Israel obsessive and “comedian” who has never made anyone laugh and who had his ass handed to him in debates twice last year by yours truly (once moderated by Kirk, in what would prove to be Kirk’s final on-stage event at a Turning Point USA conference). Kelly, whom I had previously not criticized at all other than perhaps a stray critical repost or two, called me a “snake.” Blood drawn, I fired back. Notably, it was around this same time that Kelly started aggressively either distancing herself from or targeting other Jews on the broader right-of-center, such as Rubin, Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Bari Weiss. --->READ MORE HERE
