Megyn Kelly slams ‘unholy’ church disruption by anti-ICE protesters: ‘I want everyone in jail’

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA: Megyn Kelly sounded the alarm after anti-ICE protesters interrupted a church service in Minnesota.

Appearing with 'The Michael Knowles Show' host Michael Knowles, Kelly said the incident showed that activists believe they can act without consequences and called for their arrests. She added that the protesters felt emboldened by the lack of response from authorities.

“Anti-ICE activists reach a new low. This is beyond," she began. "They've decided now, because there's been absolutely no crackdown by local police, that they can get away with storming churches and disrupting Sunday worship. It happened yesterday, and the city's Democratic leaders, as of noon eastern today, nearly 24 hours later, have said nothing.”

She singled out Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov Tim Walz.

“Mr ‘Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis tough guy’ Mayor Frey, oh so quick to tell ice to get out. Nothing, nothing. He said not a word, which clearly means he's fine with it. So is Governor Walz.” Kelly said Christian worshippers were deliberately targeted.

“They're fine seeing Christians, including children, harassed, literally in the pews at Sunday mass by these Cretans who call themselves activists, who mean to harass any law-abiding Minnesotan, especially those in worship…” she insisted.

Megyn Kelly slams anti-ICE protest as attack on faith

Kelly said the incident was a direct assault on religious faith. “All these people worship is the god of wokeness, the god of leftism. That's their God. That's part of the problem here,” she said.

The former Fox star offered a blistering description of the protesters. “We've talked about how uniformly they're unattractive. They tend to be fat, unkempt, you can tell they smell bad. And the other piece of it is they're godless, so they think nothing, nothing of going into a mass and disrupting people's private time with Jesus.”

Kelly said the activists failed to understand what church means to many people emotionally and spiritually. “They don't realize that when you go to Mass, you can become emotional. It brings up a lot for a lot of people. It's often the closest you feel to God, Jesus, in your entire week.”

She continued, “Some people are there praying over lost loved ones. Some people are tearful. Some people are really struggling in their personal lives, and this is the closest they can feel towards salvation, towards something larger than themselves.”

Kelly said the protesters showed no concern for those realities, including frightened children. “But these leftists don't understand that language, you see. They don't understand those sentiments. So they're fine harassing these people, whether they're hurting or not, including children who look scared in the pews, aided and abetted, of course, by Don Lemon.”

Megyn Kelly blasts Don Lemon over church protest

Kelly accused Lemon of celebrating the disruption and lecturing parishioners while they were interrupted during worship.

“Don Lemon, who reveled in it and lectured half of the parishioners about how they really had an obligation to sit there, and f*cking take it, that this was American as apple pie, sit there and f*cking take it," she said.

“That was Don Lemon's basic message to these parishioners. He's a disgusting fool. Now there's a question about whether he's also a criminal, that's kind of irrelevant to me. If he broke the law, I'm fine seeing him prosecuted. But I actually think what's more important is how disgusting he is…” she continued.

Kelly said the moment felt performative and disturbing. “That's how that felt, self-promotional and satanic. Can you imagine? Just think about it.”  

“Can you imagine walking into somebody else's worship and disrupting it, and then you, as a so-called journalist, starting to lecture them about how they needed to take it, about how it was important and it was quintessentially American and totally allowed under the First Amendment," she remarked.

Kelly also commented on Lemon’s fall from prominence. “This guy's fall from what was once the pinnacle of cable news, really, I'm not saying much, has been so precipitous and stunning, not to some of us who saw what a disgusting person he was a long time ago," she fumed.

“Nobody should ever look at this guy again. Nobody should ever be watching his disgusting feed, his disgusting behavior dovetails perfectly with who he is as a so-called journalist and as a man...” she added.

“Some people are too stupid to be allowed into the news. And that's saying something. That's saying something. Some people are too dumb to be allowed to do the news. He's too dumb, he's too ideological, he's too sympathetic to the terrorists there, and doesn't know shit about the law or the US Constitution.”

Kelly said Lemon misled a pastor about constitutional rights. 

“He has no f**king clue what he is saying to that pastor there that they have a First Amendment right to be there. You're gonna learn the hard way, sir, how wrong you are.”

Megyn Kelly calls for arrests after church protest

Kelly said the incident demands a forceful response. “I want everyone in jail. I want all of them arrested. This is the line beyond which we cannot allow them to cross,” she insisted. “I don't care if it takes the National Guard, if it takes all of Pam Bondi's DOJ, if it takes President Trump personally making a visit to this church, I don't care what has to be done, but this is the red line, and they've crossed it…”

“I've never felt so aware of demonic forces around us. I truly haven't…” she continued. “Like it started with Charlie Kirk's assassination, Michael and I have just felt like they're everywhere ever since something has been unleashed that feels truly unholy.”

Kelly questioned whether the media would respond the same way if another religious group had been targeted.

“I guarantee if you had a bunch of white MAGA types invading a mosque, this would be everywhere,” she claimed. “I wonder, how would it be covered if you had a bunch of people invading a synagogue in today's day and age and getting in the face of Jewish worshippers.” Kelly said Christians deserve the same empathy.

“Will there be any understanding or empathy for Christians who are in there worshiping on a Sunday at a Baptist service?” she asked. She closed by mocking Lemon’s relevance and his framing of the event.

“He's really missing his CNN days when he mattered,” she snarked. “He has to excuse the presence of white people there… You see, you need some whites… because you're going to go confront a bunch of white Baptists in Minneapolis…”
