WASHINGTON, DC: Megyn Kelly, the host of 'The Megyn Kelly Show', is training her guns on two formidable women with one tweet — Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama.

The talk show host called into question the alignment of Oprah Winfrey's wealth with the Democratic values espoused by Michelle and Barack Obama in their speeches on Tuesday, August 21, at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).



 

Megyn Kelly asks how Oprah Winfrey fits with Dem values after Obamas' DNC speeches

Megyn Kelly suggested that someone should ask the Obamas whether Oprah Winfrey, as a billionaire and special guest at the DNC, embodies the principle of taking "more money than she needed" — a sentiment previously expressed by Michelle — or if she has reached the point of having "made enough money," a notion that Barack mentioned in his DNC speech.

The former Fox News host took to X (formerly Twitter) to challenge the consistency of their public personas with the Democratic values they advocate.

Kelly wrote in a tweet on August 22, "Someone should ask the multi-millionaire Obamas if special guest billionaire Oprah ‘took more money than she needed’ (Michelle) or if she is at the ‘point where [she’s] made enough money’ (Barack). Cause I’m not sure she’s the ideal speaker for what they say are their Dem values."



 

The tweet seems to critique Oprah's recent participation in Democratic events and initiatives. Kelly's comments allude to past remarks by Michelle and Barack Obama.

Talking at the DNC in Chicago, Michelle said, "My mom, in her steady, quiet way, lived out that striving sense of hope every single day of her life. She believed that all children, all — all people have value."

"That anyone can succeed if given the opportunity. She and my father did not aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed. They understood that it wasn’t enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning," the former first lady added.



 

Megyn Kelly trolled for her hypocrisy as she blasts Oprah and Obamas

Megyn Kelly was brutally trolled online after she attacked Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama in a single tweet after their DNC appearances. They called the former Fox News host "bitter, salty, and jaded."

One social media user wrote, "BREAKING Megyn Kelly once again is in the running for the "Hateful, Bitter, Salty, Jaded" woman award. YOU GOT THIS MEG!!!"



 

Another asked, "Megan what made you such a hater? Your father loved this country he would never ever post the things you do. I remember him well always respected him your mother too, not you!"



 

One commentator said, "You are so jealous..so sad...don't be."



 

"Careful girl. Bitterness will give you wrinkles," another remarked.



 

One individual asked, "All 3 of them are more successful than you are. Jealous much?"



 

Another added, "You’re such a hypocrite because you took $69 million from NBC."
