Kelly highlighted MaddowS critically important\u2062 salary of $25 million and her luxurious lifestyle,suggesting that \u2063if \u200bshe truly cared about \u200dher staff,she should take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/knicks-star-jalen-brunson-signs-record-contract-extension-sacrificing-over-100-million-15\/\" title=\"Knicks star Jalen Brunson signs record contract extension, sacrificing over 0 million\">pay \u200bcut<\/a> too save their jobs. Maddow had publicly expressed her discontent over Reid&#8217;s dismissal, calling it \u200ba \u2064&#8221;bad mistake&#8221; and pointing out that it\u2064 was alarming that all non-white hosts in\u2064 prime time were losing their shows.\u200d In response, Kelly challenged Maddow to act \u200con \u200bher beliefs rather than just vocalize them, stating \u2064that layoffs were a result of the network&#8217;s declining \u2064credibility,\u2062 partly due to Maddow and her colleagues&#8217; actions. Kelly emphasized that Maddow,\u2064 actually, contributed to the network&#8217;s issues, questioning why she continues to\u2063 work \u200dthere if she opposes its culture.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Rachel Maddow is a sanctimonious hypocrite, according to podcaster Megyn Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>In a video posted to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cspan\/status\/1895203027931263037\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X<\/a>, Kelly lashed out at the MSNBC host, who took to the air Monday night to scold MSNBC for giving Joy Reid the ax.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Rachel Maddow got out there and tried to act like, oh, &lsquo;I&rsquo;m a woman of the working class, I&rsquo;m here to represent the poor staffers who could lose their jobs now as a result of Joy Reid biting it,&rdquo; Kelly said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And meanwhile, she&rsquo;s collecting $25 million a year.
