Josh Hammer and Megyn Kelly are currently locked in a war of words after charges of antisemitism have come up in the pair’s relationship.
During a recent episode of The Josh Hammer Show, the Salem Podcast Network host pushed back on comments made by Kelly in recent weeks, sharing her support for Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
“As we’ve tragically seen, it turns out that Megan Kelly is only in it for Megan Kelly,” Hammer said, noting that he never called the SiriusXM host an anti-semite, despite her accusing him of doing so. “She’s unhinged. She’s lying. And this is somewhat new-ish for her. It feels like just yesterday that I was going on her show fairly regularly.
“She came across as very genuine and caring. The fool, apparently, is me, because she was not genuine and caring,” he continued. “Because, now, as she has made incredibly clear, she’s on Team Tucker. She’s on Team Candace. She will never, by her own admission, say or do anything to distance herself from Tucker Carlson, and she certainly has not done anything to distance herself from Candace Owens, either.”
Hammer asserted that he had been told by someone who was previously friends with Kelly that she had said privately that “she knows that what Candace and Tucker are saying right now about everything in general — including the Charlie (Kirk) assassination and the Jews — that Megyn apparently admitted that she knew was crazy and unhinged but she simultaneously said that the reason that she would not condemn it is because she is scared of their followers.”
The comments from Kelly that Hammer responded to came after she rebuked him for calling her an anti-semite, sharing that she regretted promoting him and his “terrible” podcast. It isn’t the first time Kelly has faced charges of antisemitism in recent weeks. Mark Levin has also used similar terminology against her following her support of Owens and Carlson.
After Hammer’s statements were shared on Tuesday, Kelly took to social media to mock the Salem Podcast Network host and Newsweek editor.
“Poor Josh Hammer really needs me to protect him from the big bad words of others,” Kelly wrote. “Remember when men had testosterone?”
