Megyn Kelly speaking with attendees at the 2025 Student Action Summit at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida/Gage Skidmore, Creative Commons
Megyn Kelly faced MAGA backlash for criticizing President Donald Trump's baseless claims of election fraud after last week's Republican wipeout.
The 80-year-old president had previously said he accepted the GOP's midterm losses, but he cast doubt on the results Monday morning in a Truth Social post.
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???” Trump wrote. “Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
Kelly, a former Fox News anchor and popular conservative podcaster, signaled her disagreement on X.
"Just stop," she posted.
Her complaint did not land well with MAGA diehards.
"Megyn Kelly tells President Trump to stop talking about the rigged elections," sniffed conservative influencer Toria Brooke. "This is the same woman who has flip-flopped on Islam, as Muslims are bragging about taking over the United States. Kelly went from shunning it to touting it as what Tucker Carlson needs to cater to: 'Since it’s his new audience.'"
"At some point, even the most blind among us will realize that certain notable media figures were never on our side but used to steer and corral us," seethed the widely followed Awakened Outlaw account.
"The same 'journalists' who wanted us to stop talking about pizza gate, now want us to stop talking about election fraud," agreed X user Hello George, who punctuated his post with a clown emoji.
"Just stop what, Megyn? You spent years riding the wave when it was profitable, nodding along," shamed X user Vitruvius Republic.
"You should stop," chided X user Joe Dan Gorman.
"Megyn just STFU," huffed MAGA fan Micki Way.
"Apparently, @megynkelly wants us to all just embrace the most fraudulent election in American history and accept what is absolutely mathematically and electorally impossible," grumbled MAGA singer-songwriter Jefferson Revere. "That must’ve been quite a paycheck to Cash to take that position. I hope they’ve got the dirt on who paid you off, lady."
