Megyn Kelly bashes Joe Biden’s call For unity—”We’re not gonna unite”

In a recent interview with BBC‘s Newsnight, Kelly, who was also a host at NBC News from 2017 to 2018, railed against the mainstream media for failing to cover former President Donald Trump objectively, and concluded that its actions led to the Capitol insurgence earlier this month.

“Part of the reason why we saw what happened on the Capitol here two weeks ago was because there was a complete lack of trust, destruction of trust in the media and people don’t know where to turn for true information,” she said. “They don’t trust the media anymore and it’s a major problem.”

Kelly said the “media destroyed themselves but Trump certainly helped.”

Kelly criticized Biden’s call for unity as a “nonsense” idea on Friday.

“We’re not gonna unite,” she said on Glenn Beck’s Glenn TV. “It’s all nonsense. I like a good inauguration and a good speech just as much as anybody and I feel patriotic whenever I witness them and I root for the president and I root for America in the way that you described.”

“But unity is fool’s gold,” Kelly added. “Even if they generally mean it, they don’t change Washington—Washington changes them. And Joe Biden is Washington—he’s been there for 50 years.”

“They hated (Trump) so much they checked their objectivity. And it wasn’t just CNN, all of them did. They just couldn’t check their personal feelings about him.”
