Megyn Kelly on Monday questioned President Donald Trump’s coming to the defense of Fox’s Mark Levin amid their ongoing feud, suggesting that Trump may be falling out of touch with his own base.
Kelly and Levin have engaged in an intense war of words in recent weeks, with Kelly becoming especially critical of Trump’s war in Iran and Levin’s support of it. In response, Levin has called Kelly “emotionally unhinged” and “petulant.”
Then, things took a dramatic turn when Kelly referred to Levin as “Micropenis Mark.” She added that Levin “tweets about me obsessively” and that he “doesn’t like it when women like me fight back.”
On Sunday night, Trump took to Truth Social to show his support for Levin. The president claimed that Levin was “under siege by other people with far less Intellect, Capability, and Love for our Country.” He did not explicitly name Kelly.
In a lengthy response to both Levin and Trump published Monday, Kelly argued that the president had lost touch with his party, saying:
Rather than dealing with it like a man — by making a joke about it, whatever, ignoring it, brushing me back from the plate — he actually ran to the President of the United States. He ran to Donald Trump and had Trump send out a nice tweet about him last night overnight. And it was a ridiculous tweet, for which now the president is getting blowback because he does not have his finger on the pulse of where his party is right now, which is very unusual for Trump. This is very strange, the tweet. It’s very strange that Mark Levin couldn’t fight his own battle; but, you know, like true, pathetic, weakling bullies, he’s all bark and no bite as soon as you punch them back.

Kelly added that although Trump didn’t name her, “it’s fair to say” the post was about her and Tucker Carlson — two of Levin’s most vocal critics on the right.
She also took issue with Trump’s claims that those who “speak ill” of Levin are not part of the MAGA movement.
“So you cannot be part of the MAGA movement if you speak ill of Mark Levin,” Kelly continued. “That’s where we are. That doesn’t hurt me at all. I’ve not been part of the MAGA movement. Again, I will stay MAGA-adjacent, which is where I am happily, but he is going to further destroy his own coalition if he continues with this.”
If someone is actively trying to take down a conservative administration then a punch in the nose (or strong rebuttal) is nothing. What do they do in Iran? That is the comparison.
Unless you're speaking on behalf of mice in your pockets, I don't know anyone who wastes their time on the internet listening to podcasts......
Trump is 80.
Kelley will indeed come out ahead.
We are not Iran. We do not encourage assault of women. We despise it.
Admin Moderator:
Look, I don't like posts getting pulled. But we have some here encouraging assault on women.
MAGA didn’t hire Trump. What an absurd comment. Trump defined MAGA. It’s his brand. It’s a set of principles that were defined by him when he first ran for office in 2015. You either agree with it or you don’t. That’s everyone’s individual choice to make. But the specific platforms and principles that define it were laid out by him, and he’s been pretty consistent about sticking to them, including his insistence that he will not allow Iran to possess nukes and is willing to take military action to ensure it.
Poor ME-gyn. Everything just HAS to be all about her. She’d be nothing and nobody if Trump didn’t rehabilitate her (which I thought was a mistake.)
Iran encourages assault, rape and murder of women. You and Megan Kelly support them. NOT ME.
Once he is out of campaign mode, he reverts back to that bubble.
If anyone thinks Karl Rove is the pulse of the GOP, it’s Mark Levin. He’s been an establishment Republican through and through for years.
O, BS.
And, hear, hear to YOUR spot on post, BOBWADE. Agree, completely.
Sorry Me Again Kelly. I have an actual memory. That memory recalls you trying your darndest to torpedo Trump during a 2016 primary debate. You were as NeverTrump as one could get and said the same thing then. So please with the finger on the pulse BS.
Tucker and MeAgain didn’t ‘energize’ anyone to get out the vote, in 2024.
The “energizers” were Trump, himself, followed by Elon Musk, and, younger podcasters...as well as MAGA candidates, across the country.
These posers are washed up wannabees. They need to do a road show with their BFF Crazy Gal, Candy.
Eggsactly!
This is not the time for this crap. They all need to grow up.

How do you propose that happens? One side has committed a ridiculously stupid foreign policy blunder and the other side is (and was) yelling for Trump not to do it.
The Neo-Con fools on this board can claim that polls show “overwhelming support” for this fiasco among Republicans, but that’s likely a delusion. I look at lots of polls daily. That along with the anecdotal evidence I’ve been getting suggests that Trump will be lucky if it doesn’t sink support for the GOP at the midterm elections. Bottom line: This is an unforced error that is unfortunately looking like it will have a significant negative impact during an election year.
It’s a stupid fight. Might as well argue how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
None of this matters. America is now in a fight, and Trump wants us to stand with him.
I’m not ready to throw him under the bus. Far from it.
I couldn’t care less about Megyn, Tucker, Bannon, Owens, Levin, Hannity or any of them. All they do is talk. For all I know they’re all saying what they think folks want to hear.
Trump talks the talk AND walks the walk.
She’s sort of correct. Mark is a conservative, not a GOP Rah-Rah guy.
He despises Rinos like Megyn.
That might be the most accurate assessment I’ve seen to date about what is going on here.
“Megan Kelley is 55.”
The struggle with menopause is real.
“Kelley will indeed come out ahead.”
She’ll come out ahead because she’s younger?
People are so funny. They still under estimate Trump. It is always a bad idea.
Blunder...fiasco...
Really?
Military hater?
This is the ultimate in derangement: You say that because I don't want to see posts on FR encouraging assault of women, that I support Iran.
Can I interest you in Norm Macdonald's "Professor of Logic" joke?
