Megan Kelly Counters Bill Maher's "Trump Is Hitler" Assertion
Sirius XM host Megan Kelly robustly refuted Bill Maher’s repetitive claim that Donald Trump is a fascist during an interview on his HBO show. Maher's comments about Trump included statements like, "the things that he’s been saying, and all the people in his administration who’ve said he’s a fascist, he wants to be fascist, his friends are all dictators.”
Kelly countered Maher's claims, stating she doesn’t pay heed to such comments. She explained that such accusations have been levied against Trump and Republican candidates for years. She said, “If you are at all center or center-right, you are used to having your candidate of choice completely demonized, whether it’s the f-word, the r-word, the misogynist word.”
Trump's Four-Year Term
Kelly continued her argument by stating that Republican candidates have been frequently demonized. She mentioned how Mitt Romney was labeled a sexist and John McCain a racist. She emphasized that when such accusations reached Trump, people stopped listening. Kelly did not deny Trump's incendiary rhetoric but pointed out that during his four-year term, the country was faring well, unlike the current situation under Harris and Biden.
When Maher tried to assert that Trump inherited a good economy from Obama, Kelly retorted, “So, walk me through it. So Trump has Obama to thank for his economy, but Biden can’t thank Trump for anything?” Maher quickly changed the subject, returning to his claim that Trump is a fascist and comparing him to Hitler.
Kelly responded to Maher's claim by saying, “I see; he hid his Hitlerism the first four years and is going to come out in full force the second four years,” highlighting the absurdity of the assertion.
Kelly's Argument Against Biden and Harris
Kelly argued that it is Kamala Harris and Joe Biden who are acting like fascists. She cited their use of the Justice Department against Trump and their disregard for Supreme Court rulings as evidence. Following this, Maher ended the interview swiftly.
During the interview, Maher also lost an argument to Kelly about Democrats denying election results. Kelly warned Maher that Democrats might deny the 2024 election results if Kamala Harris loses.
Kelly also shared some disturbing facts about the harm caused to children in the name of ‘inclusion’, which left Maher's audience taken aback.
