Former Fox News host and SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly tore into MSNBC host Rachel Maddow after the liberal host insinuated that her network was racist after it fired hosts Joy Reid, Alex Wagner and others.
“Rachel Maddow – never one to not be the center of attention if she can find a way of injecting herself into a story – decided to deliver a monologue aimed directly at her bosses, and this is the theme of what we saw. I looked it up today just so I would know the actual definition. Merriam Webster, Sanctimony: Affected or hypocritical holiness. Wikipedia describes ‘sanctimony’ as a feeling or display of moral superiority. Here’s another one for you, ‘self-righteous’ from Oxford, ‘a certainty, especially an unfounded one, that one is totally correct or morally superior,’” Kelly said before playing a clip of Maddow’s monologue from the night before.
“She really is one of the most annoying people on television. She oozes sanctimony and self-righteousness, and here’s the real capper. She took her boss’s faces and rubbed them in shit last night. That’s what she did. The guy who oversees. She’s got two bosses now, Rebecca Cutler who answers to a different boss, his name is Mark Lazarus… Rebecca and Mark, do you have any spines whatsoever? Are you actually going to let an employee, that’s what she is, Rachel Maddow, talk about you, your company and your decision making this way?” Kelly continued.
“Mr. Lazarus, do you have any testosterone? Do you have any testicular fortitude to stand up for yourself as a professional, an executive, never mind a man, and tell this woman, ‘You’re fired too. You’re fired for insubordination and for disparaging the network publicly in front of our four viewers. We’re very upset about what they must now think.’ Why don’t you?” Kelly asked.
“If one of my employees ever did this to me… I would fire them so fast… No, you work for me. You work for me. I’m gonna give you my airwaves so you can go out there rip on me? No, that’s not going to happen. And look, it’s one thing if you’re in the middle of a whistleblower scandal. I actually thought it was to her credit when she called them out at MSNBC, when they were lying about not having the Harvey Weinstein story knocked down, that was one thing, but just getting on to randomly disagree with their decisions and accuse them of racism, because you would have come to a different conclusion,” Kelly continued.
“She should be fired. They won’t fire her, because I won’t say the P word, but they are a bunch of P’s, and she’s the only one who comes close to putting numbers on the board. It’s all relative, trust me, but you know…,” the host said.
“But what she got away with on the air last night was absolutely disrespectful, and it was insubordinate, and it is just evidence of how she is she is somebody who evinces an affected or hypocritical holiness, a feeling or display of moral superiority,” Kelly concluded.
