Megyn Kelly highlights her family and lucrative career while firing back at Justin Baragona of the Daily Beast and Keith Olbermann



Megyn Kelly, who has built a massive YouTube channel that boasts more than 1.3 million subscribers, fired back at Justin Baragona and Keith Olbermann on Friday.

"In just a few short years, Megyn Kelly went from one of the most sought-after and highly-paid anchors in television news -- to a YouTuber devoting her time to raging about what woke beer another podcaster drinks," Justin Baragona of the Daily Beast tweeted, sharing the link to a piece he wrote.

Kelly responded to Baragona's tweet, by pointing out that she's been enormously successful in digital media and now wields complete editorial power over her content.

"I fixed the headline for him: In just a few short years, Megyn Kelly went from working for corporate douchebags who tried to ruin her career to launching her own media company and creating one of the top digital shows in the country of which she has full editorial control. She continues to earn more than @justinbaragona or @keitholbermann will ever gross in their lifetime, all while happily married & raising her own children," Kelly wrote.

Kelly's mention of Keith Olbermann came after the left-wing figure had responded to Baragona's post by describing Kelly as a "moronic a**hole" and claiming that she had only been hired by NBC because of her appearance.

"Or: @megynkelly went from a highly-paid moronic asshole who got a lot of money from an @nbc executive who never really bothered to examine and her work and only hired her for her looks and then everybody at nbc found out she was a moronic a**hole," Olbermann wrote. "And for the record: the criticism here is of the executive, not @megynkelly," Olbermann added. "His name was Andy Lack and he was notorious for doing this. Most of them looked like one of his ex-wives at different stages in her life," Olbermann claimed.

'Somebody gift these people some vasectomies,' Keith Olbermann says in response to Sen. Mitt Romney's family photo



Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah shared a family photo on social media and Keith Olbermann has drawn attention to himselffor making a wildly inappropriate comment about the lawmaker's post.

"Somebody gift these people some vasectomies," Olbermann wrote.

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor who lost the 2012 presidential election to incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama, has been married to his wife Ann for more than 50 years. They have a large family that includes five sons, 25 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, according to the senator's biography.

Olbermann has apparently never been married and does not have any kids.

"Mitt Romney - 5 children and 52 years of marriage vs. Keith Olbermann - never married and no children. I think we know who the better man is," someone tweeted.

Olbermann responded, "Thanks for the compliment!"

Many people took issue with Olbermann's "vasectomies" remark.

"This is the Left today. Angry. Bitter. Hateful. @MittRomney is blessed with a beautiful family, wonderful kids & grandkids, bound together by love. And that, apparently, is infuriating for @KeithOlbermann," GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas tweeted, adding, "Really sad."

"If you actually think big families are a curse and not a blessing, I sincerely feel so sorry for you," Alexandra DeSanctis Marr tweeted.

"Every child is a gift. Stop insulting big families," Mercedes Schlapp wrote.

"Raising a good family is the best thing a man can do. What a sad, cramped view of the world it is to react with churlishness towards that," Dan McLaughlin tweeted.

"Oh, yes, because everyone would much rather be old, alone, and making deranged videos from their balcony. How miserable they must be to have families who love them!" Blaze Media's Allie Beth Stuckey tweeted.

LeBron James makes fun of Kyle Rittenhouse crying on witness stand — and outspoken NBA superstar gets shredded for it on Twitter



Socially conscious NBA superstar LeBron James weighed in on the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial Wednesday by mocking the 18-year-old defendant for becoming emotional and beginning to cry on the witness stand.

James — reacting to a USA Today headline saying Rittenhouse "broke down in tears" — told his 50 million Twitter followers that he wasn't buying it, among other things.

"What tears?????" James asked in his now viral tweet. "I didn't see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court." He finished off his message with a trio of laughing-crying emojis.

What tears????? I didn\u2019t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. https://twitter.com/usatoday/status/1458521089152274442\u00a0\u2026

As of Thursday morning, James' tweet garnered nearly 170,000 likes, nearly 29,000 retweets, and over 23,000 comments.

Oops

Of course, not all of the comments were favorable. In fact, James — who's unwisely opined on a number of issues beyond the basketball court — got his head handed to him by a several prominent Twitter users:

To know you is to dislike you. How could an individual be wrong on every conceivable issue? What an execrable schmuck you are, respectfully of course.

LeBron James appears to be mocking people dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in this post. Why? Is this a joke to you? Not a good look!

glad you could take a break from promoting slavery in China that benefits you to mock a kid who defended himself legally.

The coward who\u2019s fought for nothing has comments about a young man who stepped into the breech to defended his community because our institutions failed. \n\nLeBron\u2019s existence as a celebrity is a reflection of our decline.https://twitter.com/kingjames/status/1458619464329670657\u00a0\u2026

And conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller called James a "f***ing coward" while mocking him back, asking if he plans on offering "any support for your fellow NBA player @EnesKanter speaking out against the mass extermination of ethnic Muslims in China?"

But notable blue checkmarks agreed with James

As you might guess, a number of Twitterverse luminaries saw things the way James did.

"Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, now 27," CNN commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas tweeted. "Think about how much their loved ones have cried, real anguish and grief, not crocodile tears."

"F*** this brat's crocodile tears," Amanda Marcotte, a politics writer for Salon, tweeted. "Self-defense is when you are minding your own business, someone attacks you, and you have to fight back. Rittenhouse picked up a gun and went looking for trouble. He found it and, in a sane world, would go to jail for it."

And Carli Pierson — an attorney and USA Today opinion writer — also invoked the "crocodile tears" charge while writing that Rittenhouse came across as "melodramatic" and shouldn't be believed.

"Regardless of how Rittenhouse tries to twist his story — or twist his sad face into tears — his innocent kid act shouldn't fool anyone," Pierson said, adding that he "could get life in prison if convicted, and that's what he deserves."

Oh, and how can we leave out this one?
