Megyn Kelly Declares She's 'Team' Piers Morgan in Nasty Political Feud With 'Totally Disingenuous' Ben Shapiro: 'It's Very Sad to Me'

Megyn Kelly has taken Piers Morgan's side after Ben Shapiro issued a scathing attack on the British pundit last week.

The conservative commentator, 42, branded the veteran journalist, 60, the "Jerry Springer of political television" during the March 4 episode of his YouTube series, while bashing him for platforming "America haters" by featuring critics of Israel's actions in Gaza on his show.

Morgan hit back the next day, writing on X, "If people are curious why @benshapiro has suddenly turned on me, this may explain it… the guy just can’t take anyone criticizing Israel’s govt."

The broadcaster added, "Ben was a regular guest on @PiersUncensored – but from the moment I became more critical of the Israeli Govt for its conduct in the war in Gaza, he stopped coming on, stopped replying to my texts, and now publicly attacks my show."

Then, in his monologue on Monday, March 9, he slammed Shapiro for accusing his show of "bringing on actual N----" and called him out for allegedly blindly supporting Israel and its prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kelly, 55, subsequently came to Morgan's defense during her own show on Wednesday, March 11, declaring she's "completely on Team Piers."

The conservative media personality condemned Shapiro for coming after Morgan over having Israel critic Dave Smith on a panel that also included pro-Israel guests.

"That was not okay with King Ben, who decided to go for him… He decided that Piers Morgan had to be reduced to a Jerry Springer-esque character," she said.

Kelly went on to call Shapiro, a former friend, "totally disingenuous" for accusing Morgan of platforming N----," and declared the Brit is "100 percent right."

"It's very sad to me as somebody who's known Ben forever, and made Ben. 100 percent he became a star on my show at Kelly File," she continued.

"I'm very sorry to see this happen. And like there is absolutely no cause to go run around policing the guests on somebody else's show," the former Fox News host continued. "And trying to diminish somebody who is as interesting but..and I mean this complimentary, benign as Piers Morgan. Piers is not a pernicious force. Piers is an interesting guy who's got an interesting show."

Describing the situation as "so wrong" and "ridiculous," she added that she's "sorry to see Ben going in this direction."

"Good for Piers Morgan for fighting back," Kelly concluded.
