Megyn Kelly criticized President Biden’s interview with Seth Meyers, calling Meyers NBC’s “weakest, biggest hack.”
She said this is why Biden chose Meyers over Gayle King at CBS.
“Biden finally gave an interview. He didn’t want to do CBS and Gayle King, so he decided instead to go – forgive me – balls to the wall, Seth Meyers,” Kelly said.
“The biggest hack at NBC. The weakest, biggest hack at NBC. It’s some fierce competition, so right on, Seth. You’re number one! Yay! You won,” she said. “That’s why you were chosen.”
Kelly played clips of Biden criticizing Trump for disregarding the rule of law and Constitution.
“Having dealt with dictators, what do you see in a world where democracy is actually at risk where it might be in this election?” Meyers asked in a clip.
“The first thing they do, that dictators do, is they disregard whatever the rule of law is. They just disregard it,” Biden said. “Here’s the guy who says he wants to, he thinks he can change the Constitution and ignore it, just ignore portions of the Constitution. Here’s the guy who talks about ‘retribution.’ Here’s the guy — look, you have the guys, the thousands of people who stormed the Capitol, stormed the Capitol, they’re insurrectionists. Two cops died, other people were badly hurt, and what did they say? They got convicted and/or they pled guilty and he said they’re patriots? God, patriots?”
She argued Biden is doing the same through federal prosecutions and student loan forgiveness.
Kelly also disputed Biden’s claims that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot led to police deaths, suggesting Trump did not incite it.
“Trump wants to disregard the rule of law. OK, you mean like what you’re doing in these federal prosecutions, breaking norms that we’ve never crossed before in our 200-plus year history? Ignore the Constitution. He wants to ignore the Constitution? You literally just bragged about doing that with respect to student loan debt, ‘forgiveness,’” Kelly said.
“Retribution — he’s about retribution. Look what he’s doing to Trump, not to mention that FBI informant who then turned out to be, they say, not credible and who they believe lied to him and is being treated like no one else who double crossed the FBI or ever gave false information.”
She accused Biden of hypocrisy on issues such as border security.
Kelly concluded democracy is at greater risk for reasons Meyers did not raise during the softball interview.
“Uh, they stormed the Capitol and cops died. That’s not true either, they’ve been telling that lie over and over,” she added. “Congress wanted border protection and he stopped it because it would help Biden — it’s not about Biden, it’s about the United States of America. You say we need to be more humane, which is why you opened the border and your proposed border bill was full of holes and was actually totally feckless.”
“We could go on. Democracy is at stake, but not for the reasons he says,” she said. “My jaw dropped — but I didn’t hear any of that from Seth Meyers.”
