Megyn Kelly Says She May Run for President if AOC Does
Megyn Kelly goes off on AOC – Screencap of YouTube video.
Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back when discussing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a recent episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, taking aim at the congresswoman’s remarks about young men in America and even joking that she might run for president herself if AOC ever decides to do the same.
The former Fox News anchor and current SiriusXM host was responding to Ocasio-Cortez’s complaints about what she called the “radicalization” or “red-pilling” of young men — a phenomenon Kelly argued Democrats brought on themselves.
“There was indeed one party that radicalized today’s young men, and it was yours, madam,” Kelly said, addressing Ocasio-Cortez directly. “It was your side that blamed them for literally everything simply because they were born male. Your side demonized them at every turn and laughed when they expressed pain about the circumstances they were forced into.”
MEGYN KELLY OM AOC: “STILLER HUN OP TIL PRÆSIDENTVALGET, GØR JEG OGSÅ!” Hun sagde, hun aldrig ville gøre det. Hun har gentaget det i årevis: “Jeg er ikke politiker. Jeg stiller ikke op.” Men i dette klip – diskret, næsten som en vittighed – planter Megyn Kelly den tanke, som jeg… pic.twitter.com/la28ioIsxq

Kelly continued, calling it “absolutely disgusting” for Ocasio-Cortez to try to blame Republicans — and especially President Trump’s supporters — for what she said Democrats caused. “You don’t know any young Republican men,” Kelly added. “None of them would be seen with her.”
She also criticized the left’s approach to gender issues, accusing progressives of pushing harmful ideas onto children. “It’s your side, YOUR SIDE, that wants to take non-trans children — perfectly healthy children — and give them double mastectomies so you can feel better about who you are,” Kelly said.
Her passionate remarks ended with a sharp rebuke: “If she runs for president, I might run. I’ll find my way onto the ticket somehow. There’s no way this person can run for president or be president. No.”
While Kelly was likely being tongue-in-cheek about her own potential candidacy, her frustration was unmistakable — and her comments struck a chord with many who share her concerns about the direction of the Democratic Party.
A clip of the segment, shared by Real Clear Politics, quickly spread online, with supporters praising Kelly for saying what many conservatives have felt for years.
If Ocasio-Cortez ever does make a presidential bid, the thought of a showdown between her and Kelly would certainly make for an unforgettable political season.
