Megyn Kelly ripped MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki and Joy Reid on Wednesday after the left-leaning hosts mocked Virginia voters who said they were concerned about immigration during the Comcast-owned network’s coverage of the Super Tuesday primaries.
Kelly on Wednesday blasted Reid, Maddow and Psaki for “scoffing” and “sneering at this notion that Virginia voters are going to vote based on immigration.”
During Tuesday night’s broadcast, Psaki elicited laughs from Reid, Maddow and co-panelists Nicolle Wallace and Alex Wagner when she remarked: “I live in Virginia. Immigration was the number one issue.”
“Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia, a — very contested area,” Maddow said.
A recent Gallup poll found that voters say immigration is the most important problem facing the country.
The host of the SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” mocked the idea that “migrant crime is not a thing.”
“Tell it to the family of the 14 year old girl in Campbell County, Virginia, who was just sexually assaulted by an illegal from Venezuela, who’s now been arrested and charged after he crossed illegally into El Paso, Texas in September of 2003,” she said.
Kelly warned the MSNBC panelists that they “laugh and sneer at their own peril.”
“They’ll learn in November what the truth is,” she said.
Kelly also took aim at Reid, whom she called a “comical figure” for focusing on “race and racial animus.”
“You see, the Republicans want to get all the blacks out of the colleges,” Kelly said sarcastically.
“This is so absurd,” Kelly said, adding: “It’s so insulting, but it’s kind of hard to get insulted by Joy Reid now.”
“She’s just such a comical figure… Everything is reduced to race.”
The Post has sought comment from MSNBC.
