Kayleigh McEnany warns of 'Kamalot' era under Kamala Harris, Internet quips 'better than MAGA wasteland'
WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News recently sounded a cautionary note, predicting what they describe as an impending 'Kamalot' era for the United States.
During a segment on 'Outnumbered', host Kayleigh McEnany discussed the potential rise of what she termed "Kamala Camelot," likening it to a mythologized age akin to the Kennedy administration.
Kayleigh McEnany's call to prepare for a new era
Kayleigh McEnany urged viewers to prepare for this symbolic era, drawing parallels to the idealism associated with the Kennedys and referencing Beyonce's supposed endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for President through the song "Freedom."
“Prepare for the mythologized age of the Kennedys, the shining administration on a hill — prepare for Kamalot,” she told Jesse Watters.
“Kamalot is coming your way,” McEnany continued. “Beyonce already greenlighted her using the ‘Freedom’ song. Kamalot is here, and everyone needs to be prepared.”

McEnany’s remarks may have been intended as a cautionary statement, but the term "Kamalot" resonated differently on social media.
Writer Armand Hamouth speculated that such praise from Republicans might forecast electoral success for Harris and a resurgence of Democratic influence.
Reflecting on historical symbolism and political praise
Writer Armand Hamouth responded, “Camelot was the perfect dream realized. If Republicans are praising VP Harris to this extent, expect a landslide victory for Kamala and a Democratic wave.”

The concept of Camelot, rooted in the legend of King Arthur’s court and castle, has frequently been invoked by politicians, monarchs, and global leaders striving to convey wisdom and bravery to their constituencies and the broader public.
Following President John F Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Jackie Kennedy Onassis notably linked her late husband's legacy to Camelot.
In an interview with Life Magazine that December, she concluded with a quote from the musical 'Camelot;: “Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot. There’ll be great presidents again … but there will never be another Camelot.”
Social media reactions: diverse perspectives on 'Kamalot'
Social media reactions to the concept of "Kamalot" have been varied and spirited, reflecting the diverse perspectives surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris and the potential implications of her future leadership.
