‘Who Gives A Sh*t What You Heard?’: Megyn Kelly Scolds ABC News For ‘Trying To Steal’ Election At Trump, Harris Debate

Sirius XM’s Megyn Kelly scolded ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for “trying to steal” the 2024 presidential election during the debate Tuesday between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Trump took to Truth Social after Tuesday night’s debate in Philadelphia and accused ABC News of teaming up against him with Harris. Kelly expressed the same view that the moderators and Harris debated Trump “three on one,” blasting the network and the media industry for what she says is pro-Democrat bias.

“Well, I watched it. Did you watch it? I’m disgusted. I’m disgusted. I’m ashamed of those moderators at ABC News. They did exactly what their bosses wanted them to do.”

Kelly reminded her viewers that Harris has a close relationship with Disney executive Dana Walden, whom Harris has known since 1994, according to The New York Times. Walden, whose portfolio includes ABC, donated to Harris’s various political campaigns since she ran for San Francisco district attorney in 2003. Walden reportedly set Harris up with Doug Emhoff, who has known the Disney executive’s husband Matt Walden since the 1980s.

Dana Walden does not weigh in on editorial decisions, however, ABC says.

“They did Dana Walden’s bidding tonight,” Kelly said. “It was three against one on that debate stage this evening.”

“It’s very easy to look like you know what you’re doing when both moderators are entirely on your side. Trump did the best he could under the circumstances, but it really was like three fighters in the ring pummeling one opponent. And Trump tried to take them all on,” she continued.

Kelly commented that Trump’s performance at the debate was the best it could be despite what she said was his unnecessary defensiveness and justified anger toward the unbalanced situation. The Sirius XM host called Trump’s participation in the debate “a mistake.” (RELATED: Taylor Swift Finally Breaks Silence With Presidential Endorsement)

“The Republicans must learn from this mistake, the same way the Democrats never, ever agree to do anything with moderators they don’t entirely trust,” Kelly said. “This should be the last time Republicans ever do this because those two moderators tried to sink Donald Trump tonight .”

Kelly said Harris got away with various falsehoods as Muir and Davis cracked down on Trump’s remarks. She mentioned how Muir injected his opinion against Trump over a sarcastic comment he made about losing the 2020 election “by a whisker.”

“Who gives a shit what you heard? Who died and left you political analyst-in-chief? You’re supposed to be the objective news anchor of World News Tonight. That’s a comment you make to your significant other, David, not on the debate stage,” Kelly said. “Shut up! That is inappropriate. It’s not for you to make that call. Leave it up to Kamala Harris.”

“They’re trying to steal this election. They’re openly working to sink him,” Kelly added.

Kelly said the American public will likely “see through” ABC News’s bias and have empathy for Trump.

“No fair-minded person could think anything other than that they were in the tank for him and it was three against one,” Kelly said.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
