SiriusXM podcaster Megyn Kelly tore into Rep. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez over the tenor of the New York democratic socialist’s speech at her party’s convention on Tuesday night, comparing it to that of a World War II dictator.
“When I saw people on the internet praising her last night, even some Republicans, like, ‘Oh, that was a great speech,’ I thought, have you never actually seen an effective female public speaker? Like, they mistake energy or like enthusiasm for effectiveness,” she said during a Wednesday show segment.
“I mean, anyone can get up there and shout at you! [Shouting] She can shout at you! It doesn’t make you a good public speaker. It was like an assault. Right? Don’t you feel assaulted by what I just did? That’s how I felt listening to her,” Kelly continued.
Kelly then played a clip of then-Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) speech at the DNC in 2004 before adding: “That’s what AOC was going for. That’s what they all go for. They fail. There’s only one Barack Obama. There will never be another Barack Obama. I’m sorry, find your own style. You’re not good at imitation.”
