‘I’m Not Going!’ Megyn Kelly Says She’s Received ‘Multiple’ Requests ‘Begging’ Her to Go to Israel Amid Decline in Conservative Support

 

Megyn Kelly claimed on Tuesday that she had received “multiple” requests “begging” her to go to Israel and that she could “feel the pressure being slightly ratcheted up” as a growing number of conservatives continue to raise questions about the United States’ relationship with Israel.

“I’ve been very pro-Israel and I’ve been very defensive of their right to defend themself,” said Kelly during an interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on The Megyn Kelly Show:

But I have absolutely no skin whatsoever in defending any lobbyist group, including AIPAC, so I would love to know what they do to get the loyalty of politicians. Because I will say, I have had multiple, multiple reach-outs to me, both from friends and from connected people in D.C., begging me to go to Israel with them, and I have said no every time. Usually I’m just too busy. I have three kids, I have a full-time job, like I’m not doing it.

But lately it seems like it’s coming to be even more ’cause I feel like there’s a contingent of people who are worried that they’re losing me, and I’ve said that, “You’re not losing me, I’m not on Hamas’ side,” but it’s been a while now that this has been going on and we’re getting more involved with the Iranian bombing and so on, and my own feelings are, you know, I’m looking at Israel in a different way right now than I was on 10/8, that’s for sure. And I can feel the pressure being slightly ratcheted up. Like you’re not allowed to. You’re not allowed to.

Greene responded, “Well, you’re a person of very big influence. You’ve got a big voice, you’ve got a large audience. They also take a lot of influencers. They invite tons of influencers.”

“Many of whom have invited me,” revealed Kelly. “Like, ‘We’re all going together and will you come?’ Like, they seem to be coming at me from a number of ways, which only really raises my hackles. Like, I’m not going! I’m going to stay right here. I can cover this conflict from here and I don’t wish to be wooed by any side. I actually don’t wish to be persuaded.”

Last month, during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Kelly warned Israel that it had “made itself the villain of the world” with its war in Gaza.

“They have lost support amongst their dearest friends,” said Kelly. “And they’re losing Republicans by the day here in America, which is their most important ally. So whether the fight continues to be just or not is almost irrelevant.”
