Megyn Kelly Rips ‘Biased and Dumb’ CBS News, Calls Out Female Host [WATCH]

SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday for pushing back against CBS’ Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan during a Sunday interview.

Kelly criticized Brennan’s comments on free speech in Germany, calling the exchange a clear moment where Rubio “sliced her down” and exposed her lack of historical understanding.

During the segment, Brennan claimed that free speech was “weaponized” in Nazi Germany to facilitate the Holocaust, a statement that immediately drew criticism online.

Rubio quickly corrected her, stating that Nazi Germany was an authoritarian regime that did not allow free speech.

The exchange took place while Brennan and Rubio debated Vice President JD Vance’s recent comments at the Munich Security Conference.

Vance had criticized European leaders for their restrictions on speech, arguing that censorship poses a greater threat to Western security than external dangers.

Rubio defended Vance’s stance, questioning why U.S. allies would be “irritated” by free speech. Brennan then responded by attempting to link free speech to Nazi Germany’s genocidal actions.

“He was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups,” Brennan stated.

Rubio immediately interjected to correct her.

“No free speech in Nazi Germany,” Rubio said, emphasizing that the genocide was orchestrated by an authoritarian government that suppressed opposition.

“The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities,” he continued.

Kelly, reacting to the clip on The Megyn Kelly Show, called the moment “beautiful” and praised Rubio for his ability to counter Brennan’s statement in real time.

“He, in the moment, sliced her down. All I could think of was the ‘A Few Good Men’ line, ‘You effed with the wrong Marine,’” Kelly said.

“You effed with the wrong official from the Trump administration, because Marco Rubio knows his facts. He knows his history, including, of course, European history and World War II, obviously much better than Margaret Brennan, that dolt, does.”

Kelly criticized Brennan’s reaction, saying that the CBS host tried to double down on her argument instead of acknowledging the mistake.

“She tries to finish it up, her inanity, by saying, like, ‘You know that, you know that,’” Kelly said. “He’s like, ‘Wrong, Margaret.’”

Kelly’s guest, Michael Knowles, weighed in, arguing that the exchange exposed the “degraded modern media apparatus” and how mainstream media outlets invoke “Hitler and the Holocaust and everything” in political debates.

Later that same day, CBS aired a 60 Minutes segment featuring six armed German police officers raiding a man’s home over an internet post.

The report alleged that the individual had shared a “racist cartoon online.”

The timing of the segment, paired with Brennan’s comments, drew further attention to the media’s coverage of speech-related issues in Europe.

Kelly concluded her remarks by expressing disbelief at the state of CBS News today.

“I think CBS News is not recognizable to me,” she said.

“Even 10 years ago, CBS News was still a journalism outlet—biased, yes, but this is beyond. It was never stupid. Biased and dumb is really unforgivable, and she’s the face of it.”
