Megyn Kelly criticizes Joy Behar's 'inappropriate' Trump hush money verdict joke
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On her Sirius XM show on June 3, Megyn Kelly criticized Joy Behar’s joke about her reaction to Donald Trump's guilty verdict as “inappropriate” and deemed 'The View' host's comment about "leaking" due to the news as "TMI".
Kelly remarked that Behar's story fell into the “Department of TMI.”
Megyn Kelly disappointed for having to 'picture Joy Behar’s' private parts
Kelly's remarks come after Behar shared her response to a New York jury finding the former president guilty on all 34 charges in his hush money trial during the May 31 episode of ABC's 'The View'.
“My watch started to buzz [with news updates] and I got so excited, I started leaking a little,” she said making the audience laugh but Kelly had a different reaction.
“Just when you didn’t think you couldn’t be more upset, you have to picture Joy Behar’s vagina … I don’t want it,” said Kelly in a conversation with Emily Jashinsky, a Washington DC-based correspondent for UnHerd, and Eliana Johnson, the editor of the Washington Free Beacon on the show.
“I didn’t want any of the events that happened late last week,” Kelly continued, before asking, “What’s going on? Why? There’s such a thing as TMI, there really is. It was inappropriate. She’s inappropriate. It was disgusting and no one wants to be thinking about that.”
Kelly further added, “But on the larger point, that’s how rabid [Democrats] are. Like, it literally caused her to pee her pants, she was so excited to see Donald Trump convicted. Like a 3-year-old seeing Goofy at Disney for the first time.”
"Imagine you having to make this decision about sentencing and you're biggest fans are the people that viscerally have a lust For Trump to go to prison," Kelly told her guests.
Kelly, on her Sirius XM show, expressed her own dismay at the situation, stating she was “disgusted” by the conviction of a former president on felony charges. She also told Sky News on May 30 that she believes the US has now become a “banana republic".
According to Newsweek, Kelly has previously commented that Trump’s falsification of business records to cover up a payoff to Stormy Daniels was “not immoral".
