Megyn Kelly, once one of President Donald Trump\u2019s fiercest media critics, is now among his most vocal supporters. In a recent interview on “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Kelly reflected on her political evolution, describing how she went from a sharp opponent of Trump in 2015 to a staunch backer today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kelly, now a leading voice on SiriusXM and in the podcast world, acknowledged the shift was gradual. She pointed to the contentious period during the 2016 Republican primary when Trump publicly attacked her for questioning him about past remarks regarding women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen he was attacking me for that nine-month period, I really was not his fan,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cIt was highly unpleasant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conflict peaked when Trump, during an interview on CNN, suggested that Kelly\u2019s debate questioning was driven by menstruation \u2014 a remark that triggered widespread backlash and helped define Trump’s early image as a candidate willing to attack anyone, anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephen A. Smith pressed Kelly on how she reconciled supporting someone who once targeted her so personally. Kelly responded that while the attacks were hard to ignore, she ultimately prioritized policy over personal history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
