Kelly Savagely Takes Down Fox News For Sucking Up To Trump: It’s Like ‘Watching
Russian Propaganda’
“There
are serious reasons to just exercise a note of caution before we just get on
the rah-rah train," the conservative pundit said of her old network.

Former
Fox News host Megyn Kelly torched her old network for being so gung-ho about
President Donald Trump attacking Venezuela and forcibly removing its president,
Nicolás Maduro.
“I turned
on Fox News yesterday, and I’m sorry, but it was like watching Russian
propaganda,” the conservative commentator said on Monday’s episode of “The
Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM. “There was nothing skeptical. It was all rah-rah
cheerleading, yes, let’s go.”
Noting
that she “love[s] our military as much as anyone” and believes in Trump, Kelly
argued that “there are serious reasons to just exercise a note of caution
before we just get on the rah-rah train.”
“I have
done that enough times in my career as a Fox News anchor to have been
embarrassed enough to know I’m going to stay on the yellow light for this,”
Kelly explained. “I’m not in the green-light territory. I’m not in the
red-light territory either. But I am staying in the yellow-light territory for
now.”
Kelly
also questioned the Trump administration’s repeated argument that the assault
on the South American country was not a military invasion, but rather a law
enforcement operation to curtail drug trafficking.
“I see
all of the strategic advantages of what he’s done. Trust me, I do,” she said of
Trump. “I see that other countries like Russia and China and Cuba were all over
Venezuela and its oil, posing a potential threat to the United States. I get
that. That’s actually the most persuasive argument and obviously the real one,
and none of this bullshit about law enforcement.”
“But I
have seen what happens when you cheerlead, unabashedly, U.S. intervention in
foreign countries, thinking it’s for our good, and for the national and the
international good, only to wind up with what we’ve called [a] quagmire in
places like Iraq, not to mention Libya,” Kelly said.
“We’re
not great at going into these foreign countries, decapitating them at the
leadership level, and then saying either we’re going to steer the country to a
better place or it’s going to steer itself,” she added. “They just, nine times
out of 10, they don’t work out well.”
Immediately
afterward, Kelly blasted Trump’s announcement that the U.S. military could put
“boots on the ground” in Venezuela.
“Well,
whose boots?” she questioned. “Because I have a 16-year-old boy, and I have a
12-year-old boy, and I have a 14-year-old girl, and a lot of my listeners have
children, too, who are actually the ones who might have to fill the boots.”
“So I
think I speak for a lot of moms, and dads for that matter, when I say I’m
staying in yellow territory until we know more.”
Wrapping
up her commentary, Kelly vowed that she “will not be joining the Fox News
cheerleading brigade this time.”
“I’ve
been burned too many times,” she added.
