With just hours left until President Donald Trump reclaims his place in the White House, he and a throng of supporters gathered for a celebratory political rally in D.C. on Sunday.
Among the most notable guest speakers was former Fox News Channel personality Megyn Kelly, who used her time to mock all of the Hollywood stars who tried and failed to use their fame to prop up Kamala Harris’ campaign.
According to Fox News:
“These Hollywood celebrities who get up there and try to tell us how to vote. Really? I mean, like those celebrities who know nothing?” Kelly said.
“So goodbye. J.Lo. It did not work out for you. Goodbye, Meryl Streep, who showed up at that Oprah event saying, ‘oh, madam President,’ to Kamala Harris. How’d that work out? About as well as her comment that Harvey Weinstein was God. Maybe we should stop listening to her,” she continued.
Kelly went on to focus on Oprah and her support of Harris during the campaign cycle.
“Oprah she’ll show up and interview you if you pay her $1 million, too,” she said. “….Apparently, that’s what the Harris campaign production company says.”
Kelly also thanked Harris personally for helping bolster Trump’s win.
Kelly’s remarks attracted widespread support among social media users:
