Megyn Kelly, call your production team.
On Wednesday night, Kelly expressed outrage over a Fox News chyron that blended the American and Israeli flags together.

Naturally, the internet had thoughts.
“Holy shit are you this dumb and malicious?” asked James Lindsay.
“She’s going full Groyper – Jew-baiting sleeze b/c in chyron Fox News create graphic about US and Israel working together that included both flags. Your true colors have come out and they are very ugly,” observed Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson.

“*Robert Downey Jr voice* ‘You went full groyper Megyn. Everyone knows you never go full groyper,'” joked The Washington Examiner‘s Harry Khachatrian.
