nternational Desk News :: Conservative podcaster Megyn Kelly delivered a fiery speech supporting Donald Trump during an event billed as his \u201cclosing message\u201d on Monday night, a full-circle moment after the former president and the onetime Fox News star feuded bitterly during Trump’s 2016 campaign.<\/p>\n
Invited to the stage in Pittsburgh, Kelly defended Trump against recent controversies, including his repeated pledge to be the \u201cprotector\u201d of women, and pressed his case on border security and his opposition to transgender athletes participating in sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got mocked by the left by saying he would be a protector of women,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cHe will be a protector of women and it\u2019s why I\u2019m voting for him. He will close the border and he will keep the boys out of women\u2019s sports where they don\u2019t belong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump stood to the side, grinning and beaming, as he listened to the commentator he once called \u201cnasty.\u201d<\/p>\n
Afterward, she posted a selfie with the former president on X that was captioned in part: “God bless him. Go vote for him!”<\/p>\n
Kelly was a popular Fox News host in 2016 when she questioned Trump during the first debate of the Republican primary about whether he had the temperament to be president.<\/p>\n
Trump largely dismissed Kelly\u2019s question at the debate, but later he went directly after her, first overnight on Twitter and later in interviews.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not very tough and not very sharp,\u201d Trump told CNN in a phone interview. \u201cI don\u2019t respect her as a journalist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Referring to Kelly\u2019s questions during the debate, Trump said, \u201cThere was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.\u201d The comment was widely viewed as a sexist reference to menstruation.<\/p>\n
Trump later boycotted another debate on Fox because Kelly was one of the moderators.<\/p>\n
Kelly left Fox for NBC News. She was taken off the air following an uproar when she suggested it was OK for white people to wear blackface on Halloween.<\/p>\n
She now hosts a SiriusXM satellite radio show that she has built into one of the highest-ranked on Chartable\u2019s list of news podcasts.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll that nonsense between us,\u201d Kelly said last year, \u201cis under the bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kelly\u2019s appearance with Trump comes as early voting suggests a gender gap that favors Democrat Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n
Kelly was critical of some of the speakers who delivered crude and racist comments at Trump\u2019s Madison Square Garden rally last month. One suggested that Harris, who is vying to become the first woman, Black woman and person of South Asian descent to be elected president, began her career as a prostitute.<\/p>\n
The speakers, Kelly said, \u201ctook what was an amazing celebration of Trump, exciting and well-attended and hugely enthusiastic, and gave themselves a big black eye.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
