'She is moronic': Internet slams Megyn Kelly for mocking VP Kamala Harris' speaking style, asserting she doesn't have the 'it' factor

WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES: American journalist and podcast host Megyn Kelly recently took aim at US Vice President Kamala Harris, critiquing her public speaking abilities and expressing that she doesn't perceive the VP as a dynamic speaker.

This marks another instance where Kelly has voiced her criticisms of Harris. Previously, she playfully labeled Harris as "so smart" before delving into an analysis of Harris' recent speeches.

Kelly specifically highlighted Harris's comments on Generation Z and the recurring catchphrase 'unburdened', which has become closely associated with her public addresses.

In a recent incident, Kelly also faced online backlash for seemingly applying different standards to former President Donald Trump and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley in relation to their views on trans issues.

Megyn Kelly mocks Kamala Harris' speaking style

According to The Wrap, Kelly made a casual comment during the latest episode of her podcast series, 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' while discussing Harris's recent appearance on ABC’s 'The View.' During the conversation, Harris shared her concerns about the possibility of former President Donald Trump being re-elected.

In clips played by Kelly for her listeners, Kamala Harris expressed, "I’m scared as heck… We should all be scared."

As reported by The Wrap, Kelly remarked, “She thinks she’s Rush Limbaugh. She’s not. It’s so obvious." Kelly then delved into her perception of how Harris communicates, stating that the politician often comes across as insulting.

According to The Wrap, Kelly asserted, “She tries to explain things to people all the time, as though she’s talking to a 2 year old. And look, I talk to my audience about complex things all the time, and I never assume anybody understands a complex thing. I always give a couple lines of explanation because people are living their lives and they’re not following politics day and night like I am. But I don’t treat them like they’re idiots."

She continued, “I have a respect for my audience’s intelligence that they deserve because I talk to my audience. They call in all the time on SiriusXM, they write in at MegynKelly.com. She talks to the people listening to her like she thinks they’re on the short bus. Forgive me, but she does.”

As per The Wrap, Kelly feels "insulted" by Harris's way of speaking and suggests that Harris sees herself akin to entertainment mogul and former talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

As per OK Magazine, Kelly added, "The thing that it makes it especially noxious to me is her acting ... she doesn't have it. She doesn't have the 'it' factor, the thing that penetrates the lens, the thing that makes people want to listen to you, that makes you a dynamic speaker."

Internet users assert Megyn Kelly should get a life

A user trolled Kelly for her comments and wrote, "You need to get a life. Have you listened to Trump lately?"
