Megyn Kelly Rips ‘Annoying’ CNN Host Abby Phillip

Vivek Ramaswamy on CNN Townhall

Megyn Kelly took aim at “annoying” CNN anchor Abby Phillip for being “such an interrupter” while moderating a town hall with Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday.

“Like shut the eff up. Let him make his point,” Kelly said during Thursday’s broadcast of her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

Kelly criticized Phillip for calling out Ramaswamy while he was claiming that federal law enforcement agents encouraged the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

Ramaswamy, the biotech mogul, said Jan. 6 was a case of “government entrapment” and that “we know there were federal law enforcement agents in that field” before Congress was overrun by supporters of then-President Donald Trump to prevent certification of former Vice President Joe Biden’s election victory.

Phillip pressed Ramaswamy on his use of the phrase “inside job” to describe the events of Jan. 6.

When Ramaswamy said “we know there were federal law enforcement agents in that field,” Phillip cut him off, saying: “There’s no evidence that there were federal agents in the crowd on Jan. 6.”

Ramaswamy replied that “multiple informants” suggested that some in the crowd were “FBI informants.”

Phillip, the network’s former senior political correspondent and host of the 10 p.m. show “CNN NewsNight,” interjected and the two spoke over each other as she pushed the candidate to cite “evidence” that “the government had a plot … to foment violence on Jan. 6.”

“Don’t put words in my mouth,” Ramaswamy told Phillip. “I’m going to put words in my mouth.”

Ramaswamy alleged that the government “suppressed” video footage showing people “shooting rubber bullets and tear gas into that crowd” before it stormed the Capitol.
