Megyn Kelly Has A New Nickname For ‘Crying’ CBS Anchor And It’s… Pretty Out There | EUROtoday

Honestly, “Bari’s Bitch” was proper there, Megyn.

On Wednesday’s episode of her podcast, Megyn Kelly determined to present the brand new anchor of “CBS Evening News”, Tony Dokoupil, a nickname, and it’s… uh, Dokou-poor (sorry!).

“T’Oprah’ Dokoupil, that’s what I call him, because he’s crying and constantly trying to therapize us through the news,” Kelly mentioned, presumably linking him to the previous speak present host on account of her historical past of tearing up on digicam.

Last week, Kelly dunked on on her podcast for immediately crying throughout a information section about how a lot he loves Miami. Dokoupil defined he was getting emotional on account of his misplaced childhood in South Florida, which his household needed to flee on account of his father’s occupation as a drug vendor.

Kelly additionally characterised Dokoupil as somebody who talks all the way down to his viewers.

To hammer down her level, she rolled a clip of Dokoupil’s remarks on “CBS Evening News” after an interview with President Donald Trump.

“You may not agree with everything you hear on this broadcast. But we trust you to listen, and we trust you to decide for yourself,” Dokoupil mentioned.

“Oh my god, the patronization,” Kelly mentioned after the clip ended.

“He’s giving Stuart Smalley vibes,” she mentioned, referencing comic Al Franken’s self-help ‘SNL’ character. “‘We’re good enough, we’re smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like us.’ I cannot get over how he continues to patronize the audience.”

The former Fox News anchor additionally has beef with CBS News’ new and controversial editor-in-chief, Bari Weisswho handpicked Dokoupil for the distinguished function.

So, in fact, the claws got here out for Weiss as properly.

“I’ve figured it out. Bari is an out lesbian, and she’s in a marriage to another woman, and they have kids, and so on,” Kelly mentioned. “This is a lesbian’s idea of what women want. Like, ‘He’s sweet, he’s soft, this is what… this is going to sell.’”

Kelly then doubled down on her dislike for anybody who doesn’t strictly adhere to conventional gender norms.

“No, no, no! We want someone with balls, with a spine, someone who will protect us,” Kelly mentioned. “Somebody who, like, when the burglar comes, will be the first out the door — they won’t be hiding behind us. Like, as we call it in my family, first defender.”

Kelly continued: “Whenever [my husband] Doug and I go on the road, whether it’s like a hotel or like a rental, he knows he has to be first defender and he’s perfectly fine in that role. Like, Tony ‘T’Oprah’ Dokoupil is not first defender.”

Although there are many causes to be cautious of He purchased it and Weiss being the faces of a legacy newsroom, Kelly’s reasoning primarily based “on vibes” seems as flimsy as her means to conjure nicknames.
