Megyn Kelly has gone after Michelle Obama for her criticism of the US, saying the former First Lady “has everything she has because of us.”
Kelly, 53, made the impassioned comments on the latest episode of her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, while discussing Obama’s speech at Kamala Harris’ campaign rally Saturday in Michigan.
“I’m so sick of Michelle Obama whining about how racist and sexist America is,” an irritated Kelly said. “We made her rich, famous and extremely loved.”
The former NBC star added, “Everything she has is because of this country – her Martha’s Vineyard estate, her Chicago estate, her Washington, DC estate, her Hawaii estate and her travels on David’s yacht Geffen.
‘I’m tired of her complaining about us. It’s just like Oprah. Just shut up! All your donations are owed to us. All we want to hear you say is: thank you. That’s it. That’s what we’d like to hear you say. Stop corrupting the country.”

Obama campaigned for Vice President Harris for the first time on Saturday, calling for an “adult in the White House” as she targeted undecided voters, especially men.
“Why the hell is this race even close?” the former first lady asked at another point, as the crowd went wild.
Her appearance in Kalamazoo, Michigan comes as polls show the presidential race in a dead heat with just days to go before the election, with Harris particularly struggling with male voters.
The former first lady described the attack on abortion rights as a harbinger of dangerous restrictions on women’s health care. Some men may be tempted to vote for Trump because of their anger at the slow pace of progress, Obama said, but “your anger doesn’t exist in a vacuum.”
Obama said she lies awake at night wondering “what the hell is going on?”
She said Harris has shown she is ready, but asked, “Are we as a country ready for this moment?”

Midway through her speech, the former first lady made an extremely somber comment when she argued in her overturning of Roe v Wade that men should not leave women’s lives in the hands of politicians when it comes to reproductive health care.
“For the men who love us, let me try to paint a picture of what it will feel like if America, the richest country in the world, continues to withdraw basic healthcare from its women and how this will affect every single woman in your life. Obama said.
“Your friend could be in legal jeopardy if she needs a pill from out of state or overseas, or if she has to travel across state lines because the local clinic is closed. Your wife or mother may be the ones at greater risk of dying from undiagnosed cervical cancer because they do not have access to regular gynecological care,” she said.
‘Your daughter may be too scared to call the doctor if she is bleeding during an unexpected pregnancy. Your niece could be the one having a miscarriage in her bathtub after the hospital sent her away,” she continued.
She told men before they cast their votes to ask themselves which side of history they wanted to be on — and urged those fed up not to sit out the election because women would become collateral damage.
Obama also implored women to demand that the men in their lives do better by them and to remember that “we are more than just baby ships.”
