Megyn Kelly Criticizes Abby Philippe Over Controversial Comments

SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly has voiced her disapproval of CNN’s Abby Philippe for permitting left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch to refer to White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, as a “Nazi Jew” during a recent episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

This incident stemmed from Welch’s comments made in October while Philippe guest-starred on the “I’ve Had It” podcast. Philippe did not challenge Welch’s statement at the time; she simply mentioned, “I can’t speak to Stephen Miller’s motives.” Kelly remarked that Philippe should have redirected Welch to discuss policy disagreements rather than resort to inflammatory language.

“You’re such an idiot! Abby Philippe is a total idiot! All she did was let her call him a Nazi Jew and say, ‘I can’t tell you what his motives are,'” Kelly stated. She further described Philippe’s response as a cowardly evasion, attempting to maintain an appearance of objectivity. Kelly insisted that the proper rebuttal would have been to say, ‘Hold on. We can critique his immigration policies all day long, but don’t call him a Nazi Jew. That’s revolting.’

Katie Miller, who is a conservative podcaster and Stephen Miller’s wife, also criticized Philippe on Friday. She accused him of allowing Welch to label her husband as a Nazi and white supremacist. Welch had previously made similar allegations during an episode in October when Philippe was present.

Miller confronted Philippe during a discussion about a segment featuring Tucker Carlson interviewing white supremacist Nick Fuentes, saying, “You regularly host a show with people calling my husband and me Nazis.”

Philippe responded by claiming that Carlson’s interview was “different” from Welch’s comments, which were made before Miller interrupted. But Miller countered, saying, “Jennifer Welch is on your show frequently, and you’ve never pushed back against her calling my husband a white supremacist.” She added that while Carlson allows Fuentes to express his views, Philippe didn’t push back when her family was labeled as Nazis, and she questioned Philippe’s stance on the matter.

The Millers have faced harassment since they were forced to leave their home in Arlington, Virginia. Messages such as “Stephen Miller is destroying democracy” and “No white nationalism” were scrawled on public sidewalks near their residence, along with slogans like “Transgender rights are human rights.”

In an prior acknowledgment on “The Breakfast Club,” Philippe admitted that his network leans left, positioning itself politically between Fox News and MSNBC. “We’re probably centre-left,” he commented, which he attributed to their audience’s preferences.
