Megyn Kelly claims MAGA has become a ‘small group’ of Trump loyalists
Megyn Kelly is sounding the alarm about the state of President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The conservative commentator unleashed her criticism during a fiery televised appearance Hodgetwins podcast on Friday, where she argued that Trump’s once-large political base has shrunk dramatically in recent years.
Kelly didn’t hold back when discussing what she sees as the current state of the Trump movement.
“MAGA is not what it used to be. MAGA is now a very, very small group of Trump loyalists who have to love Mark Levin,” Kelly said. “And that is by definition an increasingly smaller group.”
The comment drew laughter from the Hodgetwins hosts, as Kelly has publicly feuded with Levin for months.
Trump previously defended the conservative radio host after Kelly mocked him online and accused him of having a “micropenis,” with the president calling Levin a “Great American Patriot” who was unfairly targeted by “jealous and angry” critics.
Kelly later admitted that she was shocked by how quickly she believes the MAGA movement has changed.
“I guess I’m surprised to see how fast [MAGA has] shrunk to something much less formidable than it used to be,” she said.
At one point in the interview, Kelly pushed back against labeling Trump supporters as outright cult members, but said their loyalty often reflects that kind of devotion.
“It’s disrespectful to call Trump voters cult members, but they do have the same kind of loyalty,” Kelly said.
“Where it’s like ‘In Trump We Trust’ and he can do no wrong,” she continued. ‘And I understand that. You know, they’ve been burned by a lot of other politicians. They felt like Trump got them at a time when everyone else was ignoring them.”
The former Fox News star specifically pointed to growing tensions involving Iran, saying Trump’s current approach contradicts his repeated campaign promises to prevent new wars in the Middle East.
One of the Hodgetwins’ hosts even called Trump “George Bush 2.0” because of the “money he made” and the “new war he started.”
Kelly agreed, saying she believes Trump has betrayed much of his base.
“I find it astonishing that the people who voted for the man who said over and over again, ‘No new wars,'” [and] ‘No war with Iran, no wars in the Middle East’ — and specifically saying ‘Iran’ over and over again and also saying, ‘The Democrats are going to get us into a war with Iran’ — that was not a throwaway line,” Kelly said.
“That was a big part of his campaign and his promises,” she added.
Kelly then expressed disbelief at how quickly some supporters seemed to change course on the issue.
“That those people said for a dime: ‘Yes, we are for war with Iran! Yes, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.'”
She added: “We all know this is a lie. It is so clear that it is a lie to involve us in this conflict.’
Kelly’s comments come just days after Marjorie Taylor Greene sparked a new MAGA battle by accusing some Trump allies of behaving like “cult-like” followers.
The Georgia inciter publicly attacked Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth after he gave a glowing speech in support of Trump-backed candidate Ed Gallrein at a campaign event in Kentucky on Monday, May 18.
Greene blasted Hegseth on
“MAGA has become a cult in which Fox News hosts demand absurd loyalty to the policies of the neoconservative establishment that Americans voted for,” Greene wrote.
