The relationship between Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump has taken another sharp turn. The former recently blasted the former president for sharing a controversial AI-generated image on social media. The photo, which many viewers interpreted as Trump portraying Jesus Christ, sparked an immediate backlash. While Trump claims the image was misunderstood, Kelly argues that the post was a “desperate” move that insulted millions of people and crossed a sacred line.
Megyn Kelly demands Donald Trump ‘apologize’ over AI photo depicting himself as Jesus
Megyn Kelly did not hold back during her recent commentary regarding Donald Trump’s activity on Truth Social. She focused on an AI-generated image showing Trump with a glowing light around him, placing his hand on a sick patient while a demon lurked in the background.
Kelly described the post as “absolutely absurd” and “offensive.” She argued that by sharing the image, Trump was “purporting to be God.” The journalist even looked up the definition of blasphemy to make her point, stating, “It is blasphemous by any definition of that word… the act of showing great disrespect, contempt or defiance toward God.”
Kelly suggested that Trump is becoming “desperate for attention” and is willing to mock 1.4 billion Catholics to get it. She demanded a rare move from the former president, saying, “The president should take down that meme. He should apologize.”
However, Trump offered a very different explanation for the photo. He denied that he was trying to look like a religious figure. Instead, he claimed the image was about healthcare and the Red Cross. The President stated, “It wasn’t [Jesus] depicted. It was me… I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross… It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better, and I do make people better.”
Trump blamed the controversy on the “fake news,” insisting they twisted the meaning of the post. Despite his defense, reports surfaced that the post was eventually deleted. Kelly noted this change, suggesting that Trump likely felt the “blowback” from his supporters who felt their religious beliefs were being mocked.
