Megyn Kelly ripped into Hollywood’s commentariat this week, calling out Whoopi Goldberg, Glenn Close, and a parade of other “preening millionaires” for their sanctimonious, out-of-touch commentary. The fury wasn’t idle theatrics; Kelly laid into specific examples of celebrities using their privilege to lecture the country while remaining blissfully insulated from the consequences of their own words.
Whoopi Goldberg drew particular fire after suggesting that people might only care about police brutality if “white people” started getting beaten, a comment Kelly described as both ignorant and injurious to real reform efforts. Kelly was blunt: this isn’t high-minded analysis — it’s sloppy, race-baiting hot takes delivered from a pedestal, and it distracts from concrete solutions to public-safety and police-accountability problems.
When Glenn Close posted a mocking social-media jab at J.D. Vance, Kelly didn’t hesitate to call it “gross,” pointing out the hypocrisy of an actress who benefited professionally from a story she now sneers at. That kind of performative cruelty from someone who lives in rarefied wealth only cements the growing contempt Americans feel for celebrity virtue-signaling.
Kelly also broadened her indictment to the legacy media, scolding anchors and producers who let sloppy reporting and partisan blunders slide — even slapping the “idiot” label on those who fail to correct on-air falsehoods or who shield hosts from accountability. This isn’t mere mockery; it’s a demand for basic journalistic competence and for media institutions to stop enabling their own corrupt narratives.
Conservatives should welcome this fight. For too long, a coastal elite has treated the rest of the country like a voting bloc to be lectured, patronized, or ignored unless they produce clickbait outrage. Kelly’s rant isn’t just schadenfreude — it’s a necessary pushback against a culture that rewards moral preening while shirking responsibility.
Hardworking Americans tire of being talked down to by celebrities who have never earned their salaries or paid the same prices for groceries, gas, and a safe neighborhood. If calling out the condescension of these millionaires helps restore a little humility and common sense to public discourse, then call it patriotism — and keep the punches coming.
Megyn Kelly made no pretense of neutrality here, and neither should we. When elites sneer at ordinary citizens and the institutions that keep our communities safe, they deserve to be exposed and mocked for the danger their arrogance creates. America is built on grit and common-sense judgment, not celebrity sermonizing, and it’s past time the preeners learned that lesson.
