'We made her rich': Megyn Kelly tells Michelle Obama to 'just shut up!'

Megyn Kelly, who once said she would "walk over broken glass" for Donald Trump, launched into a diatribe against former first lady Michelle Obama on Kelly's SiriusXM radio show Monday, saying the U.S. gave her "everything she has" and she should just "shut up" about any criticisms of the country.

This comes after Mrs. Obama expressed frustration at the country's inability to move past treating former President Donald Trump as a serious candidate for office at her speech in Kalamazoo, Michigan, saying, “I hope that you will forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse — all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y’all.”

Columnist reveals what he calls Trump’s ‘most consequential con’

Donald Trump’s portrayal of himself as an “ally of working Americans” is his “biggest and potentially most consequential con” in what a columnist and Nobel Laureate calls the former president’s “lifelong career as a con man.”

Supporters who believe Trump “is anything but pro-working class Americans” are not his first victims, writes New York Times opinion columnist Paul Krugman, who began his Monday op-ed by listing Trump’s various business schemes that left investors on the hook financially – “even as he profited” – including students paying thousands of dollars for worthless courses and contractors left unpaid.

J.D. Vance on Trump rally joke: ‘Maybe it’s a stupid racist joke' — but 'maybe it's not'

Trump Republican vice-presidential running mate JD Vance appears to be trying to whitewash a racist attack on Puerto Rico, made Sunday by an invited comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, whose “joke” has led to massive outrage, especially by Latino Americans, and led some to ask if it could cost the GOP the White House.

Tony Hinchcliffe described the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” and said, “these Latinos, they love making babies, too, just know that. They do, they do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country,” before he began talking about Black people carving watermelons.

Giuliani already lost his NYC penthouse — now he could lose his $3.5M Florida condo too

'You never apologize’ in Trumpism — but rally remark too much for MAGA allies: MSNBC host

An MSNBC commentator on Monday said the slew of racist remarks that emerged from Donald Trump’s New York City rally on Monday caused even some of the former president’s allies to distance themselves from the rhetoric coming out of his campaign’s closing message – in defiance of “one of the number one rules of Trumpism.”

MSNBC co-host Alicia Menendez said Monday that the comments from the Madison Square Garden rally – which included comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's on-stage monologue about Latinos and Puerto Ricans, whom he said, “love making babies” and live on a “floating island of garbage" – could come back to haunt Trump, particularly in a battleground state like Pennsylvania.
