Megyn Kelly called out key Democratic senators on her show Tuesday. She listed those who "must be targeted" in the midterms for blocking a vote on keeping biological men out of women's sports.
Democrats shut down Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The bill aimed to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. A majority of Americans support it, but Democrats voted 51-45 along party lines to kill it.
On "The Megyn Kelly Show," Kelly predicted Democrats in deep blue states wouldn’t face consequences. But she urged Elon Musk to fund efforts to unseat swing-state Democrats. "Here are the true villains," she said. "I’m begging Elon to use some of his money. He’s 100% with me on this issue, 100% with me."
"Arizona, both of them have to go — Ruben Gallego, it should have been Kari Lake anyway. Mark Kelly, who I liked and still have a personal affinity for. I’m sorry, you need to go. If I could wave my magic wand, you’re fired, sir, because you voted the wrong way."
She kept going. "Georgia — Jon Ossoff, who’s got a daughter but doesn’t seem to give two shits about what happens to her on the sports field. Raphael Warnock, who I think is going soon anyway. Michigan — Gary Peters [and] Elissa Slotkin, you have to go too. You didn’t show up. You didn’t think it was important enough, even though you’re one of the women in the Senate, to support young girls trying to work their way up the power chain behind you."
President Trump took action on this issue his first day in office. He signed an executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female. Another order, "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports," promised to protect fair competition for girls.
Kelly then ripped into more senators. "Nevada — Catherine Cortez Masto, you too. Jacky Rosen, gone, if I have anything to say about it. Pennsylvania, fuck you, John Fetterman! You act like you’re a man of the people. You get it. You don’t get shit. That part of your brain still appears to be injured because you’re going to let all these little girls go out there and get a traumatic brain injury. You of all people who understand what a brain injury can do. Screw you and your working-class appeal."
She didn’t stop there. "Then there’s Wisconsin’s Tammy Baldwin. She exposed herself as a complete idiot in those confirmation hearings that I went down to. She was one of the dopiest people we saw up there," Kelly said. "I’m not surprised she landed in the wrong place. But those are swing state Democratic senators who ruined the protection of girls and women thanks to their votes. They ought to be targeted, and they ought to be made to pay at the ballot box."
Republicans are still pushing to pass the bill. It would codify Trump’s order and fulfill his campaign promise.
A Harvard CAPS Harris Poll showed strong public support. 69% of Americans back banning biological men from girls' sports. That includes 50% of Democrats, 86% of Republicans, and 70% of independents.
