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.

The law does not remove children from the custody of parents who do not want their children to receive gender-affirming care. Rather, it allows courts to intervene in conflicts between parents and children about whether the child should receive gender-affirming care across state lines.

An example of this is if there is a dispute between two parents, one who lives in Minnesota and one who lives in Florida, and they disagree about whether the child should receive gender-affirming care. If there is a possibility that one parent will move their child to Florida, where minor gender-affirming care is illegal, a Minnesota judge can hear the dispute.

However, Kelly watered down the policy to allow minors to “chop off their body parts” and “be sterilized” without parental consent.

“I’m allowed to criticize Taylor Swift and I don’t give a s*** who gets upset,” Kelly said. “This is disgusting. If she wants to vote Harris-Walz, she can do it all she wants but to say the reason she’s doing it is because of Tim Walz’s stance on LGBT… F you, Taylor Swift.”

Kelly went on to accuse Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, of pushing harmful medical procedures onto young people calling them the “epitome of elite snobs” with “gazillions of dollars.”

She criticized Kelce for appearing in Pfizer commercials for a Covid and flu vaccine and repeated claims that the vaccine causes heart problems in young men.

While some people who have received the vaccines have reported myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the outer lining of the heart, that side effect is extremely rare
