Donald Trump received an endorsement from Megyn Kelly during his Pittsburgh rally on Monday. In his“closing message”, Kelly had only great words to say about Trump. However, fans were quick to remember their bitter feud during the former president’s 2016 campaign. Trump didn’t have nice things to say about the former Fox News star after she asked him some very uncomfortable questions.
Trump had received criticism from various corners for his comment but he never apologized for his remarks. However, Kelly shared last year that she and Trump had put behind their issues. She even went on to call him the“protector of women”during her speech, despite his former sexist comments against her.

When asked about Kelly during a phone interview with CNN, Trump did not hold his thoughts back about the Fox News presenter. He shared that he didn’t respect her as a journalist. Trump went on to make one comment that caused a significant backlash against him. He toldCNN:
You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.
Many believed that Trump made the comment as a sexist reference to menstruation. While Kelly didn’t respond to the remark at the time, several conservative members spoke out against Trump. He tried to clarify that his remark meant blood coming out of her nose and nothing else. He later tweeted:
Re Megyn Kelly quote: “you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever” (NOSE). Just got on w/thought
So many “politically correct” fools in our country. We have to all get back to work and stop wasting time and energy on nonsense!

She shared that his remarks against Kelly were“more enlightening than his original remarks she questioned.”Media mogul Rupert Murdochtweetedthat“Friend Donald”needed to learn that he was entering public life.

Megyn Kelly Has Now Appeared On Donald Trump’s 2024 Presidential Rally
Megyn Kelly’s fiery speech during Donald Trump’s“closing message”on Monday was the much-needed women’s support for him. Early voting suggested that there was agender gap that favored Kamala Harris(via AP News). During herspeech, Kelly pledged Trump to be the“protector of women”. She shared:
He got mocked by the left by saying he would be a protector of women. He will be a protector of women and it’s why I’m voting for him. He will close the border and he will keep the boys out of women’s sports where they don’t belong.
Many of Kelly’s comments were not in good taste. However, it was the exact support that Trump needed and he proudly listened to Kelly, standing by her side. Kelly joined NBC News after she left Fox, where she was fired following her comment that it was okay for white people to wear blackface on Halloween (via CNN).
