Charlie Kirk: Michelle Obama Is The Most Overrated Political Hype Of A Generation, She’s Just Complains All The Time

MEGYN KELLY SHOW: Megyn Kelly is joined by Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, to discuss Jason Bateman insulting President Donald Trump supporters on Nicolle Wallace’s podcast, Michelle Obama’s comments on her podcast suggesting women who voted for Trump are controlled by their husbands, what the Democratic Party doesn’t understand about the right half of the country, and more.

CHARLIE KIRK: The country cannot continue if the cultural and political and media elites just don’t even seek to understand the half of the country that is falling away from them. And what is so interesting is that almost every single Trump supporter knows people that voted for Kamala Harris. But a lot of Kamala Harris voters don’t know anybody that voted for Donald Trump. And I encourage people to run that test. I guarantee you that. And if you sever a relationship with someone who voted for Donald Trump, you’re a bad person. If you are going to sever a relationship based on politics, there’s something deeply wrong with you. You’re sick, especially, oh, Megan, the worst thing, the worst part of my job, and I travel the country all the time. I have an amazing job, super blessed to speak across the country. The worst part of my job is moms that come up to me and they say, I can’t see my grandkids because my son says I’m a Trump supporter, so I’m cut off from seeing my grandkids. It’s happening all the time, Megan, that people are holding their grandkids hostage based on political views. And you could extrapolate that in any possible way imaginable. And so I’m not even sure how we’re going to heal this. We have to just push. We have to push through it. And one side note on Michelle Obama, can we just note how overrated she is? And all the hype around Michelle Obama, oh, she’s going to run for office. And she’s just, I don’t want to get into the aesthetics of all of it, but the presentation of her podcast is terrible. She’s just whining all the time and she’s complaining. Again, I’m not trying to look in people’s looks. That’s not what I’m doing. I’m just saying the whole aura of it, to use a Gen Z term, is terrible. It’s negative. It’s just kind of her lamenting. And then obviously there’s problems with her daughters and all that. I don’t want to get into that. But we built up on the right, Michelle Obama is going to be the hardest person ever to run against. And her book sold so many copies. And my goodness, you want to talk about the most overrated political hype of a generation? It would go to Michelle Obama. Anyway, that’s just a side note that’s been on my mind for a while.
