Megyn Kelly Appears to Fantasize About People Being Tortured to Death

Megyn Kelly raises eyebrows every time she speaks, and I have at least one new permanent wrinkle from her recent remarks about Jeffrey Epstein. But her latest diatribe sent foreheads everywhere into orbit, because what do you mean she just lusted for the blood and the slow, torturous death of some unarmed fishermen on air?!

Speaking to fellow-fallen media personality Mark Halperin on The Megyn Kelly Show on Monday, the podcaster-slash-MAGA barbarian was criticizing the “scrutiny” over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s boat strikes in Venezuela when she said, “I really do kind of not only want to see them killed in the water—whether they’re on the boat or in the water—but I’d really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so that they lose a limb and bleed out a little.” Straight from the gulag handbook.

Megyn Kelly:

I not only want to see them killed in the water, whether they’re on the boat or in the water, but I’d really like to see them suffer. I want Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out.

Hegseth’s been facing increased criticism for his 20 unauthorized boat strikes, especially after the Washington Post recently revealed that during one of the events in September, a commander in charge of the operation issued a second strike to kill off two survivors clinging onto the ship’s wreckage, complying with a verbal directive by Hegseth to “kill everybody.” Hegseth denied he made the order, which Kelly said would get him “off the hook.” On the podcast, she added it’s “kind of annoying” to have to debate what happened and called the scrutiny “manufactured” before she started engaging in her sadistic fantasies.

“[I do not] really care that we’re killing the ‘drug boat guys’ trying to kill my kids and yours right now by bringing their fentanyl to the United States,” she said to Halperin. 

imagine being a child of Megyn Kelly fantasizing lurid torture-deaths of people about whom she knows literally nothing except they are not mirror images of herself. https://t.co/CuamO0lHG7

And while it’s never really OK to openly thirst for the blood of your enemies, Kelly is unsurprisingly yet severely misguided in what she classifies as “the drug boat guys.” Since September, the Trump administration has launched 20 unauthorized strikes on Venezuelan boats, destroyed 21 vessels, and killed 80 people—all of whom they claimed were narco-terrorists. But according to the Associated Press, most of them were just laborers from the Venezuelan seaside, and according to the New York Times, a number of military officials have met with Congress behind closed doors to say there’s no fentanyl on any of the boats. But Hegseth clearly needs something to do (besides renaming things and building the most anti-women army known to man), and he’s seemingly settled on becoming a war criminal. 

As for Kelly, she seems eager to one-up herself with just how egregious she can get, as her comments come about a month after she was rinsed for giving Epstein some nuance, saying somebody “very close” to the case told her the disgraced financier was “not a pedophile.” “He was barely into the legal type,” she said on her show on November 12. “He liked 15-year-old girls…I’m not trying to make an excuse for this, I’m just giving you facts — that he wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds.”

So… there you have it. Megyn Kelly’s world is a wonderland of pedophiles and torture scenarios galore.
