The View Annihilates Megyn Kelly Over Jane Fonda Feud: ‘How Much Work Have You Had, Bitch?!’
Yesterday, NBC’s Megyn Kelly decided to absolutely tear into acting legend Jane Fonda after Fonda took some jabs at her over Kelly’s plastic surgery questions during their interview some months ago. Apparently looking to spark a heated feud, Kelly brought up Fonda’s anti-war activism during the Vietnam War, pointing out that some veterans still call her “Hanoi Jane.”
During ABC’s broadcast of The View, the entire panel was, shall we say, less than impressed by Kelly — host of Megyn Kelly Today on rival network NBC. And by less than impressed, we actually mean they went all in on annihilating the former Fox News anchor.
Right off the bat, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Meghan McCain took issue with Kelly invoking the Vietnam War.
“To drag the Vietnam War into a plastic surgery conversation is a real stretch, Megyn, okay?” Behar said. “And why are people more angry with Jane Fonda about the Vietnam War than they were to [former President Richard] Nixon and — to an unjust and filthy war? How can you focus on Jane Fonda?”
Meanwhile, McCain said that Fonda’s “anti-war propaganda” was a big deal to veterans and POWs like her father — Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). At the same time, Meghan McCain noted that Fonda has said she regrets some of what she did and said. The View co-host further noted that this is a much more serious issue at hand than revisiting it in a debate about plastic surgery.
At one point, Behar had some EXTREMELY strong words for .
“Jane should have just said to her, ‘And how much work have you had, bitch?!'” The comment was met with raucous cheers from the audience.
McCain jumped back in to directly address guest host Ann Curry, explaining that “all of this is beneath all of us” while expressing great admiration for the journalistic work Curry has done over the years while stating that industry is lacking more “people like Ann.
Towards the end of the segment, Behar walked her strong remarks back, expressing regret that she went so far.
“I have to apologize to Megyn Kelly. I didn’t mean the call her a bitch. I’ve met her. I like her. She’s struggling for a persona. Like a comedian is looking for, who am I on stage? She doesn’t know who she is. I like her.”
