Megyn Kelly is make a very big show of melting down over Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris and something about kids’ body parts being chopped off and housed in Minnesota state courts.
Seriously, Megyn, you need to calm down.
T-Swift endorsed Kamala following Tuesday’s debate, in which the sitting Vice President successfully baited Donald Trump into every trap she laid down. The pop mega-star explained her support for the Harris-Walz ticket on Instagram, referencing the Minnesota governor’s strong history of backing LGBTQ+ people.
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
“I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades,” she posted.
Appropriately, the “Lover” singer signed her post with a moniker: “Childless Cat Lady.”
The photo matches her signature…
As expected, Swift’s endorsement of Kamala fired up the MAGA right, whose members unfurled sexist attacks against the most famous women in the world. But perhaps the most manufactured reaction came from Kelly.
The ex-Fox News host launched into an unhinged tirade, accusing Swift of supporting the mutilation of children.
“This woman is fine with [Tim Walz’s] plan to take custody of the children from parents who don’t want them to chop off their body parts, and put them in Minnesota court’s custody, so the body parts can be chopped off and they can be sterilized outside the custody of their parents. That’s what led Taylor Swift to endorse him!” Kelly ranted on her YouTube show.
The 53-year-old pundit appears to be referencing Minnesota’s status as a refuge for trans youth. As governor, Walz signed legislation that protects transgender kids who are seeking gender-affirming care in the Gopher State.
As Swift mentions in her endorsement, Walz has a long record of queer allyship. A former high school football coach, he was the head of his school’s GSA in the 1990s.
“I had students come to me who were concerned there was an uptick in some bullying towards our gay and lesbian students. This is in the mid-90s. They asked if I would be interested in starting a gay-straight alliance group, and I said ‘absolutely,’” he said in an interview.
In 1999, when Tim Walz was a 35-year-old geography teacher and football coach at Mankato West High School, he helped his students start the school’s first gay-straight alliance (GSA).

Before becoming governor, Tim Walz was the coolest, most gay-friendly high school football coach imaginable
Tim Walz coached defense on the football field, and advocated for inclusion off of it.
Kelly, who’s called trans healthcare a “weird form of conversion therapy” and said she’s “done” respecting people’s preferred pronouns, has railed against Walz’s pro-LGBTQ+ stances ever since Kamala selected him as her running mate.
On Wednesday, she shifted her vitriol towards Swift. “I’m allowed to criticize Taylor Swift. I don’t give a sh*t who gets upset. This is disgusting,” she lamented.
“If she wants to vote Harris/Walz, she can do it all she wants. But to say the reason she’s doing it is because of Tim Walz’s stance on LGBTQ, ‘F U’ Taylor Swift!,” she continued. “And ‘F’ all of the people who want to see these children’s have their body parts chopped off and watch them sterilized under the age of consent, and then will ride off to their multi-gazillion dollar mansions never to think of them again! This is unbelievable. The left is losing their mind. She signed it, ‘Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.’”
“F U Taylor Swift!” Megyn Kelly goes ballistic because Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m not exaggerating, Kelly’s head practically explodes. pic.twitter.com/69LYZLLNhf

The right has been losing their collective minds over Swift since she started dating NFL star Travis Kelce last fall. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has starred in ads for Pfizer and Bud Light, making him Public Enemy No. 1 among certain factions of conservatives.
The animosity towards Swift became so extreme last NFL season, some GOP pundits claimed she’s a… CIA psyop.
Kelly’s insane, transphobic rant fits into that line of deranged commentary. It’s apparent that Swift Derangement Syndrome is still alive and well on the far-right.

5 times Kamala Harris absolutely ATE Donald Trump on last night’s debate stage
Kamala sure knows how to put the “ATE” in debate!

If you are concerned or care whom Taylor Swift is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.
ZzBomb
Right b/c yall follow the endorsement of washed up Kid Rock b/c he’s totally better!?
War On Free Speech
Celebrity endorsements mean nothing; or should mean nothing.
I don’t believe there are any Republicans concerned or interested in his endorsement. He is performing at an event, is Taylor?
abfab
It is not only Taylor who despises Trump. All great artists and celebrities hate him too.
“It saddens me to see the former president bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit,” Ms. Ronstadt wrote.
“I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance — although there’s that,” she continued. “For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum.”
Thank you Linda!
kish
I’m not voting for Harris and Walz because Taylor Swift is voting for them. We are both voting for them for the same reasons.
Megyn Kelly is deranged and should be de-platformed.
Man About Town
Meanwhile, she has 3 kids; I’m just waiting for one of them to come out as trans.

If they were young children, she’d take them to a therapist to find out why – as Europeans now do.

“If you are concerned or care whom Taylor Swift is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.”
Since all the MAGA republicans seem to be really upset about who Taylor Swift is voting for, I think you’re right.
Steve9999
If you are concerned or care whom Kid Rock is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.
If you are concerned or care whom Kevin Sorbo is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.
If you are concerned or care whom Rob Schneider is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.
If you are concerned or care whom Amber (cough, cough) Rose is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.
If you are concerned or care whom The KKK is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.
And the list of deplorable goes on..and on…and on.

Really? “Because Kid Rock is performing.” Really? He’ll get up on stage after he finishes his first job cooking the hot dogs from a booth outside the arena. Just walk away, your powers are useless here.

inbama –
So Megyn Kelly has sought your advice?
In foreign languages yet?
Well, I’m sure gonna sleep better now.

“If you are concerned or care whom Taylor Swift is voting for, perhaps you shouldn’t be voting.”
And there you have it. Waron doesn’t want people voting simply because they have differing opinions. Justing going full on anti-democracy. Not terribly surprising.
abfab
Isn’t this the same woman whom ”gentleman” Trump insinuated was having her period onstage?
abfab
Yes, inbama knows all about The Europeans.

As if the republican party has not sunk low enough now they are worried (and projecting) about a teen idol exercising their right to free speech. How pathetic.
War On Free Speech
Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn has called for an investigation into ABC News for rigging the presidential debate against Trump.
It was 3 against 1. The debate moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, fact-checked Trump at every turn yet and they ignored all of Kamala Harris’s lies.
Kamala Harris told over two dozen lies and dodged questions but the moderators did not fact-check her.
NOT ONCE.
War On Free Speech
ABC News failed to disclose that Kamala Harris and ABC News anchor Linsey Davis, who co-moderated Tuesday night’s debate between Harris and President Trump, are sorority sisters in the influential Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. AKA formed a PAC in August after Harris became the Democrats’ presidential nominee.
Golly, how did that happen? How strange.

The judge overseeing Trump’s Fulton County RICO case just ordered the dismissal of two criminal counts that were brought against Trump and one other count brought against the co-defendants
He found that Fani Willis did NOT have the authority to bring the charges.

Breaking news from Waron. It really does not matter anymore, child. It’s over. He’s over. You are over. Pull your pants up.

Waron, Trump put his own kids in the White House. Stop acting like “sorrority sisters” is a significant relationship.
abfab
Waron IS one of Trump’s kids.
RIGay
Wow… what a delusional series of posts.
1) Trump got a shellacking on the debate stage. He lost.
2) He was stopped numerous time because the hosts were not going to tolerate his off-the-rockers lies and called him out on all of it.
3) Kamala stuck to the facts and policy and really played Trump like the $2 violin in a cheap suit that he is.
Eternal.Cowboy
Waron is really spiraling. I hope they get the help they need, living like this cannot be enjoyable.
abfab
The stench of Waron’s struggles ooze forth from every tired, lame, redundant line that his logcabinchapter feed him. They must be on a very low budget.
Stefano
@abfab : He doesn’t get paid. He transmits his messages on Queerty from his cell in Siberia, decorated with photos of Trump and Putin. Since he has a lot of free time, he’s always on the site.

Listen cutie, I’m not in Siberia; I’m in Los Angeles. Come visit me sometime. 🙂

The right wing lunatics are getting more deranged with each passing day! Trump ( who is anti women,immigrants and POC among other groups ) slandering Haitian immigrants which caused other insane right wing loons to call in bomb threats is a sad and telling commentary about the deluded and certifiable mentally unstable CRIMINAL loser that Trump really is.
War On Free Speech
Usually, people that are anti-women and anti-immigrant don’t marry a woman that is an immigrant – twice.
abfab
Imagine the insecurity of a person (the ever-changing Waron) who becomes defensive when someone (Stefano) JOKES about them living in Siberia. Then claims to live in Los Angeles. This character would not survive one day in either location.
