Megyn Kelly's Body Shaming Meltdown Over Ariana Grande's Political Stance

Megyn Kelly's Attack on Ariana Grande

• 🎯 Megyn Kelly criticized Ariana Grande for her political commentary, suggesting Grande should focus on gaining weight rather than discussing President Trump's impeachment.
• 💡 Kelly stated Grande looks "dangerously thin" and suggested she needs an "intervention," implying her political opinions are invalid due to her appearance.
• ⚠️ The hosts find Kelly's comments "gross in multiple directions," particularly the idea that one's body fat percentage dictates their right to discuss politics.

Critique of Kelly's Argument

• 🧠 The hosts question the logic of dismissing political opinions based on appearance, especially when Grande merely reposted a congresswoman's tweet.
• 🎭 Kelly's approach is described as a "mean girl" tactic, wrapped in a condescending pretense of concern for Grande's well-being.
• ⚖️ The discussion highlights a perceived double standard on the right, where women are criticized for being too skinny or too fat, effectively silencing their political voices.

Broader Implications and Misogyny

• 🗣️ The hosts argue that experiencing abuse, as Grande may have, should empower, not silence, individuals from speaking out against perceived injustices.
• 🧐 Kelly's past attacks on other women based on appearance, like Aaron Motenardi, are cited as a pattern of behavior.
• 🎯 It's suggested that Kelly's attacks on women are a strategy to gain relevance within right-wing media, by reinforcing their perceived hierarchy and biases.
• 📸 The use of a single unflattering photo to dismiss Grande's entire political stance is highlighted as a manipulative tactic.
• ⚖️ The hosts point out the hypocrisy of demanding women be thinner, but then criticizing them for being too thin when they express political views.
