Former Fox News star and current top-rated SiriuxXM podcaster Megyn Kelly tore into first lady Jill Biden after Fox Sports introduced her during Sunday’s NFC Championship Game in Philadelphia as “doctor.”
“Dr. Jill Biden” is technically accurate because she has a Ph.D. in education. But Kelly ripped her for being a “wannabe” for not having a “real” degree and for “insisting on this fake title,” the New York Post reported.
Biden and Goodell were seated at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, where the Eagles decisively defeated the San Francisco 49ers to advance to Super Bowl LVII. The television network’s graphics introduced her as “Dr. Jill Biden — First Lady of the United States.”
“Announcers for this Eagles-49ers game just spotted the First Lady in a box and of course call her ‘Dr. Jill Biden,’” Kelly tweeted. “Wonder if she realizes what a wannabe she looks like insisting on this fake title.”
Kelly noted further: “Get a real MD or just work on your self-esteem.”

The Post noted further:
In 2007, Jill Biden earned a doctorate of education from the University of Delaware. When her husband, President Biden, served as Barack Obama’s vice president, Jill Biden taught English full-time at Northern Virginia Community College.
Jill Biden’s insistence on using the honorific even though she’s not a physician triggered widespread debate about which PhD recipients should be called “doctor.”
Last month, Kelly tore into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over their newly released documentary on Netflix, where the couple attacked the Royal Family and members at the Royal Palace.
During a segment on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly spoke about the new Netflix documentary and argued that “the average viewer of the documentary” will not connect or resonate with the “struggle” the royal couple claims to have.
“The people this pair is asking to feel sorry for them, have their own problems. Real ones. They live paycheck to paycheck for the most part. They have kids in public schools where they worry about depression or drugs and crazy teachers. They work all day. They’re tired. They need a vacation that they’re probably not going to get, and they don’t have a closet full of designer dresses, never mind stylists surrounding them for major black tie events, as we see in this piece. They live in small houses or maybe an apartment,” Kelly said.
She added that most people do not give “a damn about the mean tweets” that are sent to the royal couple.
“They keep a watchful eye on the rising gas and electric bills, the cost of groceries as they try to save for college and still give their kids a nice Christmas. Too often, they’re dealing with health issues or dependency or unexpected layoffs, and they certainly don’t give a damn about the mean tweets being sent out about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” Kelly said.
“One thing I did find interesting was the amount of emotional baggage Harry still carries. It’s big. Good gracious is this man insecure? Partly because he’s a ginger. Yes, wait for it. And partly because he clearly has not worked out the trauma of his mother’s premature death,” Kelly said.
“Time and time again, I said to myself, while watching this, ‘This guy needed therapy. Not the weird tapping thing he did — a real psychotherapist. That is what he needed. Not a whiny, woke, annoying wife,” she said in reference to Markle.
Kelly then played a clip from the documentary when Harry described his family meeting Meghan for the first time. Harry claims in the documentary that his family was surprised that “a ginger” was able to date “a woman like Meghan.”
“That’s not his family. That’s him,” Kelly insisted. “And he’s not wrong. Does anyone really think if he were Harry Jones instead of Harry Windsor, this beautiful semi-known social climber would’ve given him the time of day? It is a bit shocking that she’s with him until you consider his title, fame, family, and money — sort of. Castles, staff, and access to fabulous things and people. That’s what lured her in, clearly, not Harry’s red hair and not his Mensa IQ either.”
