Megyn Kelly rips ABC moderators, Taylor Swift after the debate

Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly tore into both the ABC anchors who moderated Tuesday night’s presidential debate and singer Taylor Swift after the pop star endorsed Vice President Harris after the clash concluded.

“Taylor Swift just endorsed Kamala Harris. She posts a picture of herself … with her cat,” Kelly said as part of her postdebate commentary. “You can kiss your sales to the Republican audience goodbye, Taylor. Hope you enjoyed them while you had them.”

Kelly boasted she is “allowed to criticize Taylor Swift,” saying “I don’t give a s‑‑‑ who gets upset.”

Swift, in a late night Instagram post just minutes after the debate wrapped up, wrote that she will be voting for Harris this fall. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she wrote.

Kelly separately echoed complaints from former President Trump and many of his allies about moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.

“I’m disgusted. I’m ashamed of those moderators at ABC News. They did exactly what their bosses wanted them to do,” she said. “It’s very easy to look like you know what you’re doing when both moderators are entirely on your side.”

Kelly alleged that ABC, and the mainstream media more generally, is “openly working to sink” Trump.

“I think it was so bad, their bias against him and toward her, that it’s going to backfire,” she predicted. “I actually think the American public is going to see through this, and there’s probably going to be some empathy for Trump.”

Kelly, a longtime television news personality, hosts a popular podcast and YouTube show and earlier this year moderated a Republican presidential primary debate on cable news channel NewsNation. NewsNation is, like The Hill, owned by Nexstar Media Group.

Kelly has sparred with Trump in the past, but has more recently spoken about how the two have mended their relationship and frequently uses her program to attack his enemies and the mainstream media she was a major player in for years.
