Megyn Kelly is outraged over the controversial and "vicious" comments Joy Reid recently made about Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, possibly breaking up J.D. Vance's marriage.

Megyn Kelly Tears Apart Joy Reid

Megyn Kelly called Joy Reid 'evil' and 'hateful' for her comments about the Vances and Erika Kirk.
Megyn listed some of the things Reid said that bothered her: "She’s speculating who Erika is going to be with. She's going to break up J.D. Vance’s marriage. She's going to wind up with Don [Trump] Jr. She's not wearing the appropriate clothes in Joy Reid's view, for a widow, and the nerve to get out there. She's that other woman, ‘She's in her Tammy Faye era.’"

Joy Reid said it would be a 'MAGA fairytale' if the vice president divorces his 'brown Hindu wife' and got with Erika Kirk.
"F--- you, you absolute disgusting, evil cretin," she declared of Joy. "She is in mourning. You've seen her only at very public appearances, like when she accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom last night she did as a favor to me, because I've been out there for Charlie, and she knew Charlie and I were friends."

"She cried the entire night through our interview the other night, she was holding it together, but she was non-stop tears, but she looked beautiful."

Erika shot down the speculation when she chatted with Megyn on her Saturday, November 22, tour stop.
"My love language is touch, if you will. So I will give you a play-by-play: They just played the emotional video. I'm walking over, [J.D.] is walking over. I'm starting to cry," the mom-of-two recalled. "He says, 'I'm so proud of you.' And I say, 'God bless you,' and I touch the back of his head. Anyone whom I have hugged, that I have touched the back of your head when I hug you, I always say, 'God bless you.'"
"They were acting like you touched the back of his a--!" Megyn joked, to which Erika replied, "I feel like I wouldn't get as much hate if I did that!"
