"Megyn Kelly cried WTF after The Babylon Bee, a conservative satire website, published an article making the same joke about her that she didn't mind when it was directed at Mehdi Hasan last year. The Bee headline in question read, Megyn Kelly Gets Rid Of Old Pager Just To Be Safe, likely in reference to her continued promotion of Tucker Carlson and the friendly tack she's taken toward Candace Owens, both of whom have been widely criticized for what many perceive as anti-Semitic rhetoric."
"Mehdi Hasan leaned so far into playing the victim, he reminded me of those World Cup soccer players and their drama, pretending that they're hurt so that they can get a red card or whatever on somebody else. It was over the top, he deserves an Academy Award for the Did you just say you want me dead? You just said you want me to be killed?"
The Babylon Bee published a headline joking that Megyn Kelly discarded an old pager to be safe, prompting Kelly to post "WTF" and tag Bee CEO Seth Dillon; the post later appears to have been taken down. The headline likely referenced Kelly's promotion of Tucker Carlson and a friendly stance toward Candace Owens, both criticized for perceived anti-Semitic rhetoric. Last year, Ryan Girdusky joked about Mehdi Hasan's beeper on CNN and was banned; Kelly then hosted Girdusky, defended his remark, accused Hasan of overplaying victimhood, and denounced CNN's handling of the episode as absurd theater.
