SiriusXM podcaster Megyn Kelly tore into MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brezinski for what she felt was a very soft interview the latter conducted with first lady Jill Biden on Friday.
“She did not ask her any hard questions. And it’s, like, if you’re gonna sit there and tee it up for the first lady to say, ‘This is cruel what they’re doing to my son,’ then you better – if you actually consider yourself a journalist who criticizes other journalists – get ready for a couple of tough follow-ups, madam,” Kelly said during a show segment.
“Let me walk you through why they’re investigating him. And by the way, why do we have those nudie pics of Hunter? Because he thought his unit was the most photogenic unit in the world. He couldn’t get enough of his own disgusting, hairy body. That’s the only reason we’ve seen it,” the former Fox News star continued.
“It’s an egregious fall down on the job. I get it. That’s her side. She’s very clearly voting for the Bidens, and that’s okay. Journalists are allowed to vote in elections and have a preference, but when you’re across from the other person as a journalist, f–ckin do your job. I’m sorry,” Kelly continued.
“I believe my record stands up on this. I do it when I’m across from the person I know I’m gonna vote for. Why? Because I want to be mean to that person? Because I don’t want this person to like me? No, because it’s my job,” she said.
WATCH:
As a number of surveys show that most people are worried about President Joe Biden’s mental health, a new investigation reveals that the first lady is very involved in her husband’s administration, even though she doesn’t publicly acknowledge it.
In order to relieve her husband of what seems like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, Jill Biden reportedly takes part in the appointment of administration officials, sits in on meetings, protects her husband from draining events, and does a laundry list of other things.
Given that Jill is doing so much behind the scenes to assist her husband with such basic tasks, insiders have suggested that her efforts point to a larger issue.
“Jill Biden’s reported influence in the White House comes as Joe Biden has been scrutinized for being led off stage by the first lady, and appearing to be physically led away from reporters’ questions. Jill Biden has been appearing frequently at public events and plans to hit the campaign trail going into the 2024 election,” RadarOnline reported.
The Guardian has previously reported that Jill is “running the show” behind the scenes:
Behind the scenes, First Lady Jill Biden might be running the show. In an interview with David Muir, President Biden was asked about a second run, and he joked, “I gotta call [Jill] and find out.” He was kidding, but there is some truth behind his wife’s influence. A former senior adviser told Politico, “She is always his final gut check.” As of April 2023, the president officially made his re-election bid. He released a campaign video where his wife can be spotted embracing the vice president, speaking out, and politicking on the campaign trail.
A former advisor to the Head of State noted: “She is usually in the room when senior campaign staff is presenting a strategy to her husband. She will ask questions. But she never weighs in on the decision.”
“The first lady, Jill Biden, encouraged her husband to seek a second term. According to the president’s senior advisers, he will often consider her opinion before making final decisions on official matters. She is also expected to play a large role on the campaign trail as Biden faces backlash from his family. A career educator, she offers a perspective over GOP fights about book bans and other policies in schools and has served as a connection to suburban voters, particularly women,” the outlet added.
