Megyn Kelly says she would be willing to put her feud with Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and others behind her, arguing that conservatives will eventually need to come back together politically after their divisions over the Iran War.

EMILY JASHINSKY, ‘THE AFTER PARTY’ HOST: I’ve heard you say it this way a couple of times now, and I’m paraphrasing, I don’t know the verbatim phrase, but I think you’ve said something to the extent of, yourself and Ben Shapiro are going through something right now. So if the war is really over, would you be willing to reconcile? Is there a reconciliation with Ben Shapiro? If this kind of fades into the background of the daily conversation, if foreign policy fades into the background and the coalition is focusing, once again, on defeating Democrats and the left, would you be open reconciliation? MEGYN KELLY: Emily, I would reconcile, I don’t know if that’s the right word, but I would break bread with, let bygones be bygones with all of them, all of them. I feel like all the people who have been attacking me as an anti-Semite, which is just so untrue. I think in their hearts they know that that’s not true., but it’s politics, it ain’t bean ball, so you’re gonna have to be able to take a punch in the face, and it’s fine. I’ve taken some, and I’ve thrown some. So I don’t really take it personally, to be honest. And I actually… like, Mark Levin, whatever, I don’t really have anything against these people. But Ben and I had a real friendship. I just don’t care enough about him to say I want to keep an ongoing feud or hatred, you know what I mean? I just don’t have that level of emotion in my heart for any of these people. But a lot of the folks who have been attacking me with these nasty terms and so on, I did consider dear friends and a lot of them I’ve really helped build their careers, and really thought we had genuine friendships. So I would say like I was hurt by them launching attacks on me and drawing first blood, for sure and I then retaliated against them because it’s politics and it ain’t beanbag, like I said. So you have to. Nine times out of 10, if somebody’s gonna do that to you, you have to defend yourself. I don’t in all circumstances, some people are absolutely meaningless to me, and I’ve never said anything in response to their text, and it actually makes me so gleeful, because I know they’re just dying for me to say something. And so many of the ones who have been attacking me, if you could see how they begged to come on my show for the past five years, begged, and we say, no, you’re not interesting. There’s a lot of people who just, they can’t do TV, they’re not compelling on camera. It’s like, you try to be polite. Some begged to come on my tour, begged. And we just didn’t get back to them. We weren’t rude about it, but it’s like, not everybody can do it. And, now they’re the first to be like, oh, she’s a Groyper! Like, oh, you’re not really telling the whole story, are you? But whatever, my point is simply, I’m more bemused by a lot of what’s gone on than I am still, like, angry, so yeah, I would be fine to put this all behind us because my ultimate feeling is we need to come back together… The ones who are celebrating the Charlie assassination. That’s the real enemy. And the right is gonna need to come back together… We have to find our way back to each other. And there have been a lot of people who are very, very neoconny and pro-Israel and pro this war with whom I am in touch, and with whom I text regularly, and we’ve kind of quietly agreed to, like, keep the porch light on for each other, because the right is gonna have to come back together after this is over, and before the next elections, or we’re never gonna win any more elections again.
