Social Media Erupts: Megyn Kelly Faces Backlash for Misrepresenting Kimmel During Rant

Former Fox News personality and conservative podcaster Megyn Kelly encountered a swift backlash on social media following her furious tirade against comedian Jimmy Kimmel. This reaction was sparked by ABC's recent decision to suspend “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely after Kimmel made controversial remarks about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s death.Kimmel criticized the narrative from the MAGA community regarding Tyler Robinson, the suspect arrested in the murder case. He pointed out that efforts were made to distance Robinson’s politics from the MAGA label. Kelly swiftly condemned Kimmel, alleging he misrepresented facts and falsely associated Kirk’s killer with the MAGA movement.Her impassioned critique suddenly backfired as several users pointed out that Kimmel’s comments about MAGA were taken out of context. Several individuals also reminded Kelly of her past statements on free speech, undermining her position. This incident highlights how rapid social media can impact public figures in today's polarized climate.
