Megyn Kelly Fumes Over Charlie Kirk Not Being Named Time's Person of the Year: 'A Thumb in the Eye'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Megyn Kelly can’t believe Charlie Kirk was not named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.

On Thursday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host fumed over the fact that the 2025 Person of the Year was not even a single person at all – but rather the architects of AI. She railed against the decision not to posthumously award Kirk with the distinction following his assassination in September.

“It’s f–king AI. It’s AI architects,” Kelly said. “It’s not Charlie Kirk, which is so obvious – it’s as obvious as the nose on your face. And don’t tell me, detractors, ‘Oh, he was too controversial.’ That’s not it. They’ve gone for extremely controversial people and villains in the past. It’s always and often come down to people like Vladimir Putin, the Ayatollah. We’ve had very controversial people make it or almost make it. And not only did Charlie not get chosen, he wasn’t even one of the honorable mentions. Yeah, Putin won it in 2007.”

She added: “This is a thumb in the eye, and it’s genuinely wrong. Like, AI architects are not the most influential people of the year. To ignore what happened with Charlie Kirk in September and the worldwide revival of faith that followed his assassination is to ignore reality based on your own politics.”

That's a turd not a thumb Megan. Pull your head out of your ass.

1. How does anyone take this child molestor apologist seriously?

I mean, I don’t even understand what compels a person to sit around listening to such drivel. I’m convinced MAGAts are simply brain damaged.

[Attilatheblond]

2. Charlie Kirk did NOTHING original or of merit of any kind

Jumping in front of a group of angry young white guys and pretending to be a leaders? He was late to the parade and now he's just the late. He was a person of very little importance or impact. Megan Kelly is just trying out a new outrage to get attention.

[Johonny]

3. Who talked about who?

[William Seger]

6. Most people had no idea who Kirk was before he was shot

... because they don't swim in the right-wing sewer.

[Kaleva]

16. I dare say most people still don't know who he was

Other then being some unknown who got shot.

[Jacson6]

4. Why are they so enamored with this silly DeeJay? n/t

[kacekwl]

5. The person (s) of the yesr

should be Chief Andres and his team.

[ms liberty]

26. I like this answer.

[Renew Deal]

7. She just wvant clicks

Also, it's not even close on impact. The AI execs have had a much bigger year when you combine technical advances with them kissing up to Trump. Kirk gained additional notoriety for being murdered by some other lunatic in his camp.

[Efilroft Sul]

8. Cry harder.

[electric_blue68]

17. Hahahahaha!

[Martin68]

9. Kirk is the 2nd to last person they would have chosen (the last being Trump). Although I guess Stephen Miller is near

the bottom, along with a number of other Trump Administration Deplorables. The title of "Worst of the Worst" is very competitive.

[EnergizedLib]

10. This hatemonger can cry harder

[Sympthsical]

11. He wasn't even Person of the Month when he died

That story dropped like a hot potato from everywhere after maybe two weeks.

It's just how our news cycle is now. I think we're just too anesthetized because of the nonstop stream of shit that flows on the daily.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. And what did he do that was of any significance, apart from dying?

You don't get an award for dying. Still, it's probably good for her to seethe a little.

[LR3]

36. What did he do? He spread hate

Which is why another rightwing hate monger thinks he should be honored. Might as well cry that Andrew Tate didn't get it either.

[Drum]

40. If she ain't seethin', she ain't breathin'!

[spanone]

13. Her opinion is meaningless.

Go away meg.

[Initech]

14. Fuck off, Megyn. Fuck all of the way off.

[H2O Man]

15. Recommended.

I'm sure that Megan influences the thinking of five Americans on any given day.

[Norrrm]

18. No problem. Just make a fake cover like Trump did.

[marble falls]

31. It's a double hit, fake Time cover with fake People magazine blurbs.

[Coventina]

19. No, it was a bullet in the neck....

I think he could have survived the thumb in the eye, probably.....

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. It's not an award of distinction, Megyn, you twit. It's an observation.

In the scheme of things, Dead Charlie ranks right down there with a fart in a hurricane.

[no_hypocrisy]

21. If TIME had been on the same page as Megan Kelly, then

it would have been akin to TIME naming Hitler "Man of the Year" in 1938.

[marble falls]

32. ...

[tavernier]

22. Oh please, Megan. He wasn't Captain Kirk.

At least pick someone people have heard of, even if it is a racist, hate mongering tool. Worldwide revival of faith? Good grief. You really wrote that?

[Tommy Carcetti]

23. My favorite December tradition...

…is having to remind people that Time’s Person of the Year isn’t necessarily an honorary title but rather a designation of the most newsworthy person or persons this year.

[Captain Stern]

24. The whole Charlie Kirk thing is just bizarre to me.

It seems like so many people act like they loved or hated the guy, and that he was some huge figure in their lives. I think most of us didn't even know who the fuck he was.

I know this is just an anecdote, and not evidence, but I was in a waiting room with about a dozen other people when the news about his death came on TV. None of us knew who he was. When they started showing some of his clips, I remembered he was 'the guy that argued with college kids'.

He's pretty much just famous because he got shot.

[Iris]

25. There's a worldwide revival of faith?

Huh. Haven't noticed that.

[Walleye]

27. Buthurt, butthurt, butthurt

what do they say? “Cry harder”

[BOSSHOG]

28. Oh My God, not even an honorable mention

[ms liberty]

29. Being publicly murdered by a frenemy in an intraclique war is not really that noteworthy, Megyn honey

Maybe the next time one of your peeps drops it will be a bigger deal. We can only hope...

[marble falls]

30. Frantic dog whistling as she goes over "who the hell was Megan Kelly" falls.

[Omnipresent]

33. I know megan, he was such a great guy!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. Kirk was a racist asshole

I agree with Time

[yellowcanine]

35. Megyn Kelly also thinks Santa Claus and Jesus are white.

So maybe we should not pay any attention to what Megyn Kelly says.

[Borogove]

37. She has descended to the level of complete farce. She's actually been there for quite some time.

[QueerDuck]

38. Scripted and manufactured shit-stirring outrage.

What "worldwide revival of faith" is she talking about? Ridiculous.

[RoeVWade]

39. Hey, Megyn, TPOTY, is the world, not just US centric.
