This pointed out Kelly’s support for Trump and the Republican party. Many people thought her costume choice was not a mistake because she has said many things that divide people.
Tara Dublin (@taradublinrocks) joined the conversation by saying, “She’s such a garbage person that she just used stuff she had around the house to make a last-minute costume.”

This comment hit home because Kelly has built a certain image over the years. When she worked at Fox News, she often talked about controversial topics that made people very angry. Even after she left Fox, her podcast kept the same style, which kept her well-known in Republican media.
President Rufus T. Firefly (@Stewey444) shared a different opinion, tweeting, “Her waist size is also her IQ.”

The anger in many is not just about her Halloween costume; it’s also about what she stands for. For many, she represents the loud and confrontational side of the Republican party that got even stronger under Trump.
But why does Megyn Kelly get such strong reactions? It’s because many people see her as someone who supports media that divides people instead of bringing them together. Under Trump, Republican politics became more about “us versus them.” Kelly often went along with this way of thinking, whether on her shows or on social media.
Stara55 (@Sofi122022) tweeted, “She looks like she is sick!” While this may sound personal, it points to how exhausted people are with seeing her type of commentary in the spotlight. They see her as someone who keeps pushing an agenda that fuels conflict and misinformation.

The strong reactions show that many people want to speak out against those who promote this kind of media. Whether it’s a simple tweet or a funny joke, it’s clear that public opinion is changing. People are willing to call out those they believe create division. Megyn Kelly’s Halloween post is just one more example of how much frustration people feel.
