Megyn Kelly official page ^ | Feb 21, 2025 | Meg Storm

Posted on 02/21/2025 5:52:40 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

After attending CPAC for the first time last year for a Q&A session with host Mercedes Schlapp, Megyn was back in Washington, D.C., on Friday to deliver a speech at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.

During her remarks, Megyn made a connection between how the left and media has been gaslighting the American public for the last decade and the ongoing legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

You can read the transcript of Megyn’s speech (edited for length and clarity) below:

“Megyn Kelly has gone woke.”

To post that, you either did not read or listen to her speech, English must be far from your native language, or you just can’t think.

Her hostility to wokeness was the thing that turned her into a Trump supporter.`

“Hollywood gossip and a waste of time.”
Possibly the whole thing is an attempt to make the characters more well known. That’s how Hollywood works, if you’re not in the news you’re irrelevant and unemployable. E.g. the Kardashians, who are famous for being famous, or Paris Hilton who is famous for being Paris Hilton, no acting or talent of any kind required.

Oh yeah, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

You should pay attention to this one.

There are literally billions of reasons why.

Based on what? Have I ever aid one think to defend BL and RR? No, I haven’t. So, now you already think anyone who isn’t woke and misandrist is bad?

By the way, that describes Baldoni, too. His whole career is possible because of virtue signaling. He held himself out as the wokest, most emasculated, anti-person in Hollywood, and that is what his career is based on.

Also, even Megyn Kelly went on about how he simped and made himself prostrate to BL and RR. He did everything to put himself in a position of weakness.

Wait, you really believed in unadulterated wokeness and misandry like Baldoni preaches?

Yeah disagree with Megyn on her assessment of who Baldoni is. When you really dive into his character and presentation — he comes off (as I said) like a Tulsi/RFK alternative indie perspective type. Not a they/them type.

And he had a man bun because he was growing out his hair for cancer patients. The past instagram video footage of him explaining this to his daughter got deleted by People mag I believe, which is very pro-Lively/Reynolds/VisionPR.

I don’t believe “women never lie” and men shouldn’t get due process qualify for the rule of law.

I've heard of them. What's going on? Seems to be in the news for some reason.

How do you figure that, from this story where she compares narcissistic bullying by a Hollywood diva (against a director who hired her to star in his production) to the treatment the Amerian legacy media has been dishing out to the electorate for the past several decades? Our taxes and our purchases from their advertisers pay them to abuse our airwaves, while they insult our intelligence and our candidates.

Because she is siding with woke, virtue-signaling, misandrist Hollywood with no pushback.

No, she discusses both sides of their fight. She indicates she is leaning in his direction, butt also tells why she is skeptical of it. But she makes an apt comparison to the way the trash media has jumped in and declared a winner.

The media has declared Baldoni the winner - in fact, I saw a left leaner's video this morning. She said that this case is uniting the left and the right. And that all these leftists are watching all the Candace Owens video.

I am not referring to the incidents that happened on the case. I a referring to Baldoni and his career and his podcast. He has been a big proponent, of believe women, they never law, all men are toxic, etc. And after this is all done, he will going after men to restore his credentials. And after conservatives are unquestioningly supporting him, he will have a lot of juice.

I went by the actual text of what she said, which I read rather than listened to. I admit, I haven’t taken the least iota of interest in the dailymail chronicles of these people, whose work I have never seen, and most probably now never will. Since you appear to be following avidly, you are entitled to your opinion.
