Journalist and political commentator Megyn Kelly, who served as a host at Fox News from 2004 to 2017, has slammed former president Donald Trump for his obsession with crowd size conspiracy theories.
As reported by Mediaite, Kelly made the comments on her SiriusXM radio show, where she read out recent poll results favoring Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. Kelly said the polls “are not going in the right direction for Team Trump.”
“Look, it’s across the board. He’s fallen in left-leaning polls, he’s fallen in right-leaning polls,” the former NBC host and correspondent stated. “This is reality, and the Trump team needs to deal with reality if it wants to win.”
Reason Magazine editor-at-large Matt Welch sarcastically added, “If Trump spends more time complaining about depictions of the crowd size at Kamala Harris rallies, that’s gonna really seal the deal for him. That’s gonna get the swing state voters.”
A frustrated Kelly replied, “So unsmart. So dumb! If you’re listening, audience, he’s [Trump] claiming that the crowds, the big crowds outside of her [Harris] airplane and elsewhere are AI-generated, and it’s just, there’s just no proof of that.”
She continued, “I mean, like, it was a conspiracy theory somebody started. There were all these other pictures from people who were actually there showed the huge… like are they all in on it? Like, everyone who showed up got an AI filter that they put on? So stupid. Just focus on the damn border!”
Welch said that Trump has “been spinning out” over the past couple of weeks.
“There’s been whole stretches where his campaign has been disciplined and smart, including by keeping him away from cameras and stuff when that was a useful thing to do,” he stated. “And it just hasn’t been that the last couple of weeks, and he’s actually reminding people of the things, of the reasons why he’s so far has never shown he’s able to get even 47% of the popular vote in this country.”
