As political talking heads offered their thoughts on star FOX News host Tucker Carlson’s departure, Megyn Kelly and Keith Olbermann got into a vicious brawl, and Kelly decimated Olberman.
Kelly harshly criticized FOX News this week after it announced Carlson’s show would be taken off the air. On a recent podcast episode, she alleged that FOX News is trying to ‘destroy’ Tucker Carlson.
“Now the fight is on, and it’s going to be full-on warfare…”@megynkelly, @michaelbd, and @NoahCRothman on how Fox News is trying to destroy Tucker Carlson.

The fight between Kelly and Olbermann began after Kelly criticized the liberal hosts of The View for celebrating Tucker Carlson’s leaving FOX News.
The hosts waved ‘goodbye’ as the crowd applauded the news of his termination.

Kelly shot back, saying that the hosts were jealous due to Carlson’s success and large audience. His show, ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ was the most-watched show on both FOX News and all of cable news.

Olbermann, who is a former MSNBC talking head who was dropped from the network and now hosts his own podcast, attacked Kelly, incorrectly claiming that she was fired by FOX.
“What would you know about successfully hosting a show? Fired by Fox, fired by NBC. You’re 0-for-2 and you couldn’t get a job cleaning the studio at The View”

Kelly then tore into Olbermann with no holds barred, calling him a ‘very bitter man’ and mocking him for being childless while debunking his dishonest attack against her.
“Even Keith Olbermann was saying similar things comparing Tucker to a Nazi. He also for good measure decided to tweet about me because I said Tucker was going to be better off without FOX.
And something to the effect of “you got fired from FOX” and from NBC what would you know about it?
So first of all you misstate the circumstances of my departure from NBC, sir, that’s all I’m allowed to say about it.
And as for FOX, there were widely reported facts that I was offered $100 million to stay there, but the record is very clear that I left voluntarily because I wanted to raise my family. Something you don’t know anything about because no one would marry you and you have no children.
You have a cold, lonely life in which you’ve become a very, very, bitter man something I wouldn’t know anything about because my life is joyful and I managed to raise my own children.”
Someday I hope you have that pleasure, but I don’t have high hopes it’s going to happen.”
OMG @megynkelly just dragged Keith Olbermann over a field of broken glass and then helped him wash his wounds with salty lemon water before pushing him down a flight of stairs. 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/VQHxxxON6k

While Kelly is no longer officially affiliated with a cable news network, she started her own podcast, which has become a mainstay of American conservative politics.
Recently, she went viral for criticizing the transgender movement after multiple women in a chapter of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority expressed their discomfort at a biological male being allowed to join the sorority.
“You can be supportive of trans people and what they’re going through without surrendering to this madness!”@megynkelly gets fired up over the new trans Kappa sorority member. Watch the FULL clip – https://t.co/YCiaU0HRNk pic.twitter.com/a5JKA6dl50
