Megyn Kelly Melts Down Over Michelle Obama Parenting Confession
The Megyn Kelly Show After repeatedly scouring Michelle Obama’s podcast for something to complain about, Megyn Kelly, 55, happened upon something new on Monday.
Last week, the former first lady hosted Jon Stewart on her IMO podcast , which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson.
The trio, all parents of adult children, discussed what it was like when their kids came of age and moved out.
In a clip Kelly played on her show, Mrs.
Obama, 62, corrects Stewart when he presumes she misses “the energy and excitement of the kids being around.” The former first lady shares two daughters with the 44th president: 28-year-old Malia and 25-year-old Sasha.
“I don’t,” Obama replied bluntly to Stewart.
“I love them—I’m going to see them night tonight for dinner—I love them,” she said, but she didn’t “cry” like her husband did when they left home for college.
“Now, Friday nights aren’t wrecked with terror and fear about, ‘Where are you?’” she explained, “And I love their emancipation and growth.” Kelly, who declared herself an “avid consumer of Michelle Obama content,” asserted that the comments made the first lady a “sociopath.” “I was not aware she’s a sociopath who feels nothing for her children other than disdain,” Kelly said.
“Oh, wait.
I was kind of aware.” Kelly, who divorced her first husband of five years in 2006, shares three children—Edward Yates, 16, Yardley Evans, 15, and Thatcher Bray, 13—with her husband, Douglas Brunt.
She went on to whine that Mrs.
Obama’s comments about seeing her children off confirmed, “what we’ve already gleaned about her and her feelings about her husband and her children.” The combative host went on to highlight that Mrs.
Obama, who is now a private citizen, “has almost uniformly negative comments to make about being a mother and being a wife.
She did not enjoy it in any way, shape, or form.” Kelly, known for talking at length to criticize the careers and appearances of other women, admitted that her own mother told her she didn’t cry when Kelly moved out as a young adult either.
