‘Too F*cking Bad’: Megyn Kelly Rages Over Criticism of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens Praise

“Too f*cking bad,” Megyn Kelly told critics of her relationships with Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens during an interview on The Fifth Column podcast published Thursday.

After first offering a condemnation of Hamas, Kelly argued that its crimes don’t “mean that the devastation and destruction” in Gaza “can go on forever.”

“It’s time to wrap it up in this American’s view. I am entitled to that opinion, and I will not be shamed out of it by being called an anti-Semite,” said Kelly. “Now, as for my decision to ‘platform’ Tucker: Too bad. Too fucking bad.”

She continued:

I love him, we’re friends, I don’t think he’s an anti-Semite at all. I don’t listen to all of Tucker’s shows — I don’t listen to all your shows –I don’t have that many hours in the day.

…

But I don’t really care. I think Tucker’s a very important, valuable voice in the national conversation.

Host Michael Moynihan then asked her to address her recent defense of Owens, whom he argued was “apart from Tucker.”

“I don’t know her. I don’t really know her that well,” pleaded Kelly, who insisted that Owens is “brilliant” during a conversation with The Fifth Column hosts on her own show last month. “Although I will tell you we recently had a very nice exchange before all this. And I was just reminded in my own head that Candace is a young mom, of like three young kids. She’s under a lot of pressure, she’s got a big show, she’s been under attack since she came onto the public airwaves, and she’s been under attack constantly. And it’s my prerogative if I say to myself, that is not someone I wish to attack. I do not feel that way. I don’t wanna do it!”

“And I felt this way, and now that people have made my attacking her the stakes of my relationship with whatever person is saying this, I’m gonna have to say goodbye to that person. I won’t do it! Now, it’s like a point of pride,” she continued.

Kelly has faced criticism over the last few weeks over her praise for Carlson and Owens, both of whom have been accused of fomenting anti-Semitism in recent years, including in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
