Megyn Kelly blasted the first lady after she was introduced on Fox as “Dr. Jill Biden” during the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, calling her a “wannabe” for not having a “real” degree and for “insisting on this fake title.”
Biden was sitting next to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in a luxury suite at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, where the first lady was rooting for her beloved Eagles during their decisive rout of the undermanned San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
When Fox cameras showed Biden and Goodell in the box, 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 added: “Get a real MD or just work on your self-esteem.”
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.”
In December 2020, the Wall Street Journal published a much-discussed opinion piece by Joseph Epstein, who urged the first lady to do away with the title, “which feels fraudulent, even comic.”

It depends what the Ph.D. is in. Anything other than in a hard science or math means very little. Of course, "Dr." Jill doesn't even have a Ph.D. She has an Ed.D.
Hubby has a PhD. He doesn’t like to be called “doctor”. Says one woman he knew with an EdD....wrote her paper on “how to arrange a parking lot”. Insisted she be addressed as “doctor”. 🙄😆
In the hard sciences of course
Still what Kelly is doing isn’t helpful
Just point out she had Ed d and is a jerk about it.
When’s the talk show comin Dr Jill ?
Yes, we called all the profs “Dr.” back when I was in college. And many were just as simple-minded as Mrs. Biden. I assume it is still the case.
Is the University of Delaware like the University of Phoenix?.
“stupider”?
LOL...you’re even more “stupider” than I first observed.
Again, GOOD LUCK WITH A PHD DOING YOUR HEART SURGERY AFTER THE FAKE VACCINES.
Good grief...you’re such an intellectual idiot to believe PhD studies are more rigorous than MD studies, testing, licensing.
PhDs are doctors. They are literally doctors
Ah yes I recall everyone saying the following titles when speaking of:
Speaker Dr. Gingrich
Secretary of State Dr. Rice
Secretary of Defense Dr. Esper
Director Dr. Petraeus
National Security Advisor Dr. McMaster
Secretary of State Dr. Albright
Remember how everyone always said their names just like that?
Jill Biden should dump the title - it's an embarrassment...
First Lady? Yes, I agree.
ROFL!!!
Your inane spew of irrelevant nonsense does not help you at all. Worse, your resort to personal insults damns whatever point you think you’re trying to make.
The truth remains. In any respectable discipline, the Ph.D. represents successful completion of a much more rigorous program of study and original research than a mere MD.
Deal with it.
Not just “completion” of research but ongoing research that can contribute to the field continuously. Anyone that has PhD that teaches should be called “Professor”. Anyone with a PhD that works in their field doing continuous research and development, should be called “Doctor” or even “Professor”.
Anyone that completes a PhD then does jack squat with it (Jill Biden currently) should NOT be called “Doctor”.
So you’re pretty much supporting Megan Kelly’s point at this juncture.
Jill Biden and lefties are obsessed with titles and pronouns and I could care less she’s a phd.
Juan More Time...
You are truly one intellectual idiot with an IQ of a bowling ball...and absolutely NO COMMON SENSE.
Now slither back under your rock.
ROFL!!!
It’s truly amazing how often people who lose arguments resort personal insults.
The personal insults might make YOU feel good ... I can’t really say ... but they only serve to destroy whatever argument you think you’re trying to make.
Do you have anything rational to say?
Yes. I know a fellow with an MD and a Ph.D. in pharmacology. Quite and impressive gentleman.
Anyone that completes a PhD then does jack squat with it (Jill Biden currently) should NOT be called “Doctor”.
Please ...
Jill Biden did not (and probably cannot) complete a Ph.D., even one in basket weaving, if such a thing exists, which I doubt.
Jill Biden completed an Ed.D. with a completely ludicrous "dissertation" composed of educrat jargon and word-salad gibberish.
I am just saying this- and repeating myself
There’s no reason for Kelly to wrap all doctors into this.
Most are not fake snobs like this horrible wife of a terrible person
If she had any brains, she would realize that “First Lady Jill Biden” is a much more honorific title than “Dr.” and would use that instead of demonstrating her status insecurity.
It’s true that people who have earned a PhD or even a lowly EdD can rightly asked to be called “Dr.” when they are in a teaching position at a university or college. But using it in a high school or any other workplace is pretentious.
I will agree with you for a PHD in physics, chemistry, computer science and other hard sciences. You have to be smarter than the average MDs the schools are turning out these days. While a PHD in climate science, you can generally wipe yer butt w it.
“If she had any brains, she would realize that “First Lady Jill Biden” is a much more honorific title than “Dr.” and would use that instead of demonstrating her status insecurity.”
She does not have any brains. Ever see this old cow in a mini dress? Embarrassing to America! She does this from time to time. The photos are there.
