LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of her SiriusXM show, Megyn Kelly didn't hold back in her criticism of President Joe Biden, bluntly telling him to "shut up" about his son Hunter Biden's gun trial. She also accused him of attempting to sway the people of Delaware who hold affection for the family.

Kelly, joined by UnHeard Washington DC correspondent Emily Jashinsky and Washington Free Beacon editor Eliana Johnson, directed the conversation toward Hunter Biden's ongoing legal challenges, particularly highlighting the President's connection to the trial, which is unfolding in Delaware.

Joe Biden's personal statement met with sharp criticism from Megyn Kelly

Megyn Kelly slammed Presidnet Joe Biden's recent statement expressing paternal support for his son.

“I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us," the President said in the statement.

"A lot of families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and know what we mean. As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength," he continued.

"Our family has been through a lot together, and Jill and I are going to continue to be there for Hunter and our family with our love and support,” the Democratic presidential nominee added.

Megyn Kelly condemns President Joe Biden's commentary on criminal trials

Kelly said, “Hunter Biden is facing a federal gun charge. He’s accused of purchasing and possessing a firearm while addicted to drugs. Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty on three charges.”

She argued on her SiriusXM show that the President commenting on any criminal trial is “inappropriate”, also citing his statements on Donald Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan.



 

“It’s still inappropriate,” she said. “It’s not appropriate for a sitting president of the United States to be commenting on any sort of a criminal case. I said this last week when he commented on Trump. Stay out of it! Stop it!”

Kelly further claimed that the President is making a “clear attempt” to “influence” people in his son’s trial, especially since it is in Delaware where the POTUS is from.

“The Trump case still has to go up on appeal, your son’s case is in the process of jury selection. So be quiet! Shut up!” she said.

“Pipe down, you don’t have to comment on everything. It’s a clear attempt to influence those Delawareans who love the family,” Kelly added.

Critics call Megyn Kelly's remarks on Joe Biden 'hypocritical'

Critics wasted no time in condemning Megyn Kelly's recent remarks on the Mediaite article, with some accusing her of hypocrisy and others questioning her relevance in contemporary discourse.

One reader wrote, "It's adorable how she thinks she's relevant."

Another added, "If MAGA didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all."

One person said, "Did she criticize Trump for attacking the Judge? Don Jr? Eric?Lara? If not, there is a party who should pipe down: Megyn Kelly."

Another added, "No. She was screaming "free speech" a week ago for Trump....now she's telling Biden to shut it. Its MAGA rules."

One individual asked, "You mean the Megyn Kelly who just last week said that Biden was in total control of the DOJ and prosecuting enemies? That Megyn Kelly?"

Another added, "Kelly: shrill, dry n droopy hag with no juice….just another Qunt."

One person commented, "Give it up, Megyn. Trump will never take you back."
