Megyn Kelly Criticizes Republican Party After Election Losses
Megyn Kelly delivered sharp criticism to the Republican Party following their significant defeats on Election Day. She blamed her conservative peers for their inability to succeed without former President Donald Trump's leadership.
Kelly’s Take on Election Outcomes
Speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show Wednesday afternoon, Kelly addressed the election results, highlighting key Democratic victories in California, New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City.
Republican Party's Misplaced Priorities
Kelly expressed frustration with the party’s focus in recent weeks, sarcastically referring to time spent on internal disputes:
“I’m really glad we spent the past couple of weeks, as Sean Davis of the Federalist put it, policing some young person’s group chat. What a podcast host said and what the head of a think tank over at Heritage had to say. I’m really glad that the Republicans devoted so much time to that. That was a great move.”
Republicans’ Acceptance of Defeat
She criticized the GOP's attitude toward losing, suggesting they seem to accept and even embrace defeat:
“The Republicans like to lose. They enjoy when they are embattled and in a losing position and complaining. They do it really well.”
Lack of Leadership Without Trump
Kelly argued that the party lacks strength and direction when not led by Trump:
“Republicans don’t know how to win. They don’t know who to run,” she said. “They don’t know what to do when daddy’s not there to fly them across the finish line. And that’s just been so obvious.”
She emphasized that it is only Trump who demonstrates strength within the party.
Summary: Megyn Kelly sharply criticizes the Republican Party for losing focus and leadership after Election Day losses, pointing to their reliance on Trump and a tendency to accept defeat rather than effectively compete.
