Megyn Kelly, host of the SiriusXM show, The Megyn Kelly Showcalls for boycotting Taylor Swift.
On a recent episode of the conservative commentator’s show, Kelly spoke out against the megastar for Swift’s attendance at a comedy show that provided “humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.”
With her close friend Selena Gomez by her side, Taylor Swift attended comedian Ramy Youssef’s More Feelings tour stop in Brooklyn, New York, over the weekend. Proceeds from the event benefited American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA), a non-governmental organization that provides humanitarian and development aid to the Gaza Strip.
In The Megyn Kelly Show, the host of the same name said Swift “owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology” for attending the show. “I hope they boycott her events until she airs it because attending this was wrong,” Kelly said.
“Taylor Swift, who has been tweeting about her support for the LGBTQ community, you know what they do to that community in Gaza, Taylor, that you now want to support,” he continued. “Who has talked about her support for women, her opposition to certain Republican legislators who do not support women in the way that Taylor considers appropriate. Do you know what they do to women?
Kelly continued: “Do you know what Hamas likes to do with women? Do you think we have equal rights there, Taylor?
“You clearly know nothing,” Kelly concluded scathingly.
Taylor Swift fans respond to Megyn Kelly
Following Kelly’s criticism of Taylor Swift’s attendance at last weekend’s comedy show, fans took to Twitter in Swift’s defense.
“Putting aside the sheer idiocy of this rant, Taylor Swift is simply too powerful for any boycott,” one user wrote. “Oh look, Megyn Kelly is going after another successful woman. Ha ha, I’m pretty sure you’re going to lose this one,” said another.
“Meg you’re not in her weight class just sit down,” a third added. “Megyn Kelly truly believes she is more powerful than Taylor’s fan base. Megyn, you are losing this…haha,” said another.
