Megyn Kelly faced criticism from the left after mocking Joe Biden’s apparent call for unity.
Just hours after the mainstream media projected the former Vice President to be the winner of the 2020 election, Biden wrote, “A nation united. A nation strengthened. A nation healed. The United States of America.”
In response, Megyn Kelly commented, “Written like a man who’s been in his basement for a year.”

Megyn immediately faced criticism over her remarks, as Twitter users asked her to “Stop” her rhetoric. This led her to explain herself and why she will not back down from what was being portrayed.
Kelly responded to one user: “No. Half of the country has been demonized as awful for four years just for supporting their president who was falsely accused of Russian collaboration, wrongly impeached & attacked relentlessly by the L & a dishonest media. And now it’s “let’s heal!” “Unity!” Good luck.”

As the outrage from the left ensued, Megyn faced more criticism from prominent leftists, including former tennis star Martina Navratilova, Congressman Ted Lieu and several left-leaning journalists.
Here are some of the highest engaged responses from Megyn Kelly to her critics:
Ian, you’re out of touch if you think 70m Americans who have been unfairly demonized as the worst of humanity for 4yrs are now going to hug those who’ve viciously attacked them (& are now making lists of their names). I’m talking reality, which is my job, not pie-in-the-sky stuff https://t.co/ZgblLkiE3P

You have zero understanding of the mood of 70 million Americans who have been unfairly attacked relentlessly for the past four years as awful ppl just for supporting their president. https://t.co/HSk5rqgWlG

Martina, the vitriol went well beyond Trump-some 70m ppl have been called vile, bigots, racists & xenophobes & are now being threatened w/being put on target “lists” as punishment for supporting him. They’ve been demonized by the very ppl now sanctimoniously demanding “civility.” https://t.co/sjiZebqWBm

Joan, I am trying to explain the mindset of the right half of the country, which I happen to understand, unlike most in the media. You may find it helpful, you may not. But the notion that I should make it all about me & Trump’s comments is absurd. I moved past it long ago. https://t.co/9VxS3sOh04

You have every right to your anger Ted. As do GOP voters who have been unfairly vilified by leaders on the L. And it won’t go away, in either case, bc a politician wins & tweets “Healed!” He needs to start at home. Talk to AOC & the media re: unity. Then some GOPers might listen. https://t.co/VCLu0kh2Ez

– Leftists/media re GOP: “racists! Xenophobes! Uncaring bigots!”
– Biden wins. “Unity!”
– Trump supporters: “Eh, not feeling it.”
– Leftists/media: “please be more responsible in your language.”
