At a campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly took the stage alongside Donald Trump, delivering a forceful endorsement of his presidential campaign and outlining her reasons for supporting him.

As she joined Trump on stage, he introduced her with enthusiasm, saying, “Megyn Kelly is here, and she’s doing… come up, come up here, Megyn, she ripped a guy apart.”

Kelly opened her remarks by applauding Trump’s energy, saying, “Can you believe this guy? Can you believe the energy and the stamina on this guy at his age? I’m ready to go to sleep over there. He’s got another rally to go to till tonight.”

She recalled the early days of her show, when she invited businessman Mark Cuban, a vocal critic of America, to discuss his views. “He started going on about how bad America’s race history was and how ashamed he was of America,” Kelly said. “Then it got awkward when I asked him about all the money he was taking from China.”

Mark Cuban campaigns for Kamala Harris, speaking to Black and Latino small business leaders at a town hall in Phoenix on Oct. 19, 2024.

Her exchange with Cuban set the stage for her conservative stance, she explained, and attending the Trump rally, she noted, was another way of “proving Mark Cuban wrong.”

Addressing immigration, Kelly cited examples of violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants, an issue she argued Trump has effectively tackled by enforcing strict border policies. “I’ll be thinking about [Laken] Riley, 22 years old, killed in Georgia, a young nursing student, by an illegal,” Kelly said. “I’ll be thinking about Jocelyn [Nungaray], 12 years old in Texas, murdered by two Venezuelan illegals.”

She underscored her belief that Trump has protected Americans by “closing the border,” contrasting this with Kamala Harris’s approach. “Kamala Harris opened it by choice. It wasn’t accidental… She said it would be humane… Tell it to Laken Riley’s family. There was nothing humane about it,” Kelly stated, highlighting her concerns about Harris’s border policy.

Kelly then turned to the issue of gender in sports and women’s safety, referencing Payton McNabb, a high school athlete in North Carolina. “She suffered traumatic brain injury and permanent paralysis,” Kelly said, after being hit by a volleyball served by a biological male.

She criticized Kamala Harris’s position on gender inclusion, saying, “Kamala Harris looks at her and says, ‘Be kind. Suck it up, and that’s what’s right.’

Why do our girls have to face brain damage in order to be kind to boys who want to invade their sports?” Kelly condemned Harris’s support for policies that allow biological males in women’s sports and facilities, pointing out that Trump has pledged to “keep the boys out of girls’ sports and where they don’t belong.”

Reflecting on broader issues, Kelly emphasized that Trump’s policies prioritize “forgotten” American men, contrasting this with the stance of public figures like Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé, whom she criticized for “judging” working-class Americans. “He will not look at our boys like they’re second-class citizens,” she asserted, directing her remarks at women in the audience.

“Ladies out there who want a bit of girl power in this election, let me tell you something. How can you win when the sons and the husbands and the brothers and the dads you love are losing?”

Kelly also took aim at the concept of masculinity promoted by the left, expressing her preference for “the old version.”

She referenced an ad aimed at female Trump voters, criticizing the idea of women being pressured to lie about their vote. “That’s their version of what marriage looks like,” Kelly said. “Oh, wait, I’m talking about Kamala and Douglas. Sorry. Where was that story in the news?”

She questioned the lack of media coverage around abuse allegations against Harris’s husband, suggesting that traditional masculinity and conservative values align better with Trump’s platform.

Concluding her speech, Kelly urged the crowd to vote for Trump, saying, “I hope all of you do what I did last week, vote Trump and get ten friends to vote Trump too.”

With a focus on family safety, American identity, and traditional values, Kelly’s message emphasized her belief that Trump’s policies would protect American families and preserve the nation’s core values.
