WATCH: Megyn Kelly Obliterates George Stephanopoulos: ‘He Just Doesn’t Get It!’
From putting Jeffrey Toobin on notice to bringing George Stephanopoulos down a peg, Megyn Kelly has been on a heater lately.
The former Fox News anchor and SiriusXM host told her listeners that mainstream media voices like Stephanopoulos are “struggling” to find an “outrage vein” after he grilled New Hampshire’s Republican Governor Chris Sununu on his pledge to support former President Donald Trump in November. The reliable Trump critic said on Sunday that no one should be “surprised” that he will support his party’s nominee against President Joe Biden.
“It’s amazing,” Kelly said, referencing the ABC reporter’s impaired understanding of Republicans. “Like, he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get it!”“Like, the right half of the country doesn’t see these things as rising to the level of criminality,” she continued according to the Daily Caller. “They haven’t been treated as crimes when we had the so-called insurrections by the Democrats challenging elections or turning over police stations as we talked about earlier. Setting them on fire, courthouse as well. All just completely ignored.”“They’re having trouble finding their outrage vein on these Trump behaviors because it’s so one-sided. Even the documents case. Your guy did that too! Your guy did that and he took the documents when he wasn’t even president, George. I will say, I don’t think Sununu was all that effective in responding to it, but it was just a complete skewering by an unfair journalist,” Kelly said. “And by the way, why do Republicans keep going on these shows? Because you’re just there to be their little… right? Show pony.”

Other mainstream reporters like CNN’s Chris Cillizza have begun openly pondering why voters dissatisfied with Biden are recalling Trump’s four years in office more fondly, another example conservatives may point to showing how out of touch the media has become.
Debate about President Trump’s various criminal cases has raged since the start of his hush money trial on Monday. Observers on both the right and the left have questioned whether similar felony charges would be brought against someone whose name isn’t Trump. In addition, an attorney for a J6 defendant argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that other violent liberal protests have not been equally prosecuted by the Justice Department.
A number of other anti-Trump reporting encounters reveal that the mainstream media continues to hunt for signs that the Republican’s support is softening among voters. A BBC reporter recently asked Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) why she and other Trump supporters “love conspiracy theories,” prompting the conservative lawmaker to shoot back that the “media spreads more conspiracy theories” than MAGA. When reporters asked Steve Bannon whether the MAGA movement would fizzle out after President Trump, the onetime presidential advisor stunned them with a bold prediction.“President Trump is a moderate in our movement. You’re going to pine in future years that you wish Donald Trump was around,” Bannon said. “This movement is ascendant and is going to go on long after Donald Trump. It’s only going to get more powerful and broader.”
