Megyn Kelly has a meltdown over Taylor Swift backing Harris–Walz
Megyn Kelly, the political commentator and former Fox News anchor, was offended that mega pop star Taylor Swift announced she would endorse Kamala Harris and praised Tim Walz’s position on LGBT+ issues.
Kelly exasperatedly read Swift’s endorsement post live on her podcast The Megyn Kelly Show on Tuesday evening, declaring that the pop star should prepare to “kiss your sales to the Republican audience goodbye.”
But the podcast host became irate when she read Swift’s one-line sentence commending Walz for “standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body.”
“Oh my God,” Kelly said raising her hands to her temples before embarking on a tangent about gender-affirming medical care for minors.
“So this woman is fine with his plan to take custody of the children from parents, who don’t want them to chop off their body parts, and put them in Minnesota court custody so the body parents can be chopped off and they can be sterilized outside the custody of their parents,” Kelly said.
The podcast host was seemingly referencing the “trans refuge” law that Walz signed into law last year.
The legislation was aimed at protecting transgender people who are seeking gender-affirming care in the state. It prevents out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants or extradition requests for people from other states who seek treatment in Minnesota.
Walz is a longtime supporter of the LGBT+ community
Neighboring states like North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska have all outlawed gender-affirming care for minors.
But the law also permits a court of the state to take temporary emergency jurisdiction over a child across state lines if they have been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care, which is often misunderstood.
