What To Know

  • Megyn Kelly criticized Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, calling her a “turncoat” for siding with liberal justices.
  • Barrett joined Chief Justin John Roberts in a 5-4 decision that blocked Trump’s effort to limit mail-in voting.
  • Kelly expressed frustration at Barrett and Roberts for undermining the conservative majority.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly slammed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Monday (June 29), calling her a “turncoat” for “siding with the libs.”

On Monday’s episode of Sirius XM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, the host ranted against Barrett for sinking President Donald Trump‘s bid to limit mail-in voting at elections. Barrett sided with Chief Justice John Roberts, Sonya Sotomayor, Ketanji Jackson Brown, and Elana Kagan, in a 5-4 vote in the case Watson v. Republican National Committee.

“She’s supposed to be one of ours. Why do ours, why are they always so wiggly?” Kelly said, per Mediaite. “Honestly, like the libs, you can take it to the bank. Kagan, Sotomayor, Katanji Brown Jackson. I have to admire their commitment to their side. They never abandon their side, only in the most obvious cases, where they’d just get killed if they didn’t, in terms of the blowback, the rhetorical blowback. But they stick together.”

Kelly continued, “Amy Coney Barrett is a turncoat. She’s constantly siding with the left.”

She then turned her attention to Roberts, saying, “He is pursuing the wrong agenda as Chief Justice. You know, he’s an ‘institutionalist meant to protect the Supreme Court.’ That’s not your job! That’s not your job in the actual decision-making.”

“And I can see in protecting the Supreme court’s reputation standing up for justices who are under attack, you know, threatened physically, but… you change your vote for that?” Kelly added. “I don’t know that that’s what he did here, but it’s definitely what he did in upholding Obamacare.”

“So those two, you know, we’re supposed to have six, three conservatives to Libs. And today we only had four conservatives and that’s how we lost because Roberts and Barrett jumped over to the liberal side and Barrett even wrote the court’s majority opinion!” the former Today host went on.
