Megyn Kelly's recent claim that she and Candace Owens "have only gotten closer over the past few months" has triggered a wave of notable reactions online. The statement was made during Megyn Kelly's recent live remarks. The clip was quick to go viral across social media platforms.

Megyn Kelly stated:

"In any event, Candace knows I disagree with her on this. Petty internet people want to turn that into a cat fight between Candice and yours truly, which will fail. She and I actually have only gotten closer over the past couple of months as people try to make me attack her. So f**k off, okay?"

Netizens reacted to her statement, saying,

"She is pathetic truly"

Online reactions to Megyn Kelly saying Candace Owens and she "have only gotten closer"

Eyal Yakoby took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to share the viral clip, captioning,

"Megyn Kelly: "Candace and I have only gotten closer over the past few months." Pathetic."

Netizens were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the X post as they penned their opinions on the matter. Below are some of their remarks.

"Wait …So people online asking her to publicly comment on Candace’s comments, they’re being petty and should “F**k off.” But Candace, who has attacked a grieving widow, said she wants to destroy TPUSA, told everyone to stop donating, and accused Trump, Kash, Dan and all of Charlie’s friends of being involved in Charlie’s death . . . that’s not “petty” at all 🧐? The problem is not Candace slandering Charlie’s friends and family. The real problem is people telling her to stop. Got it.", commented an X user.
"Notice how much passion and defensive anger Megyn shows towards her cult leader Candace the bully and how little passion she shows towards the grieving widow and her kids. They are an afterthought for Megyn, oh yeah, and of course "I love Erika, sure I do." Sure you do Megyn, suurre you do.", penned another.
"Megyn is just disgusting. I don't think she will have a show a year from now. I don't think she gets it.", wrote a third.

Others also chimed in:

"She is outright lying. On her show when Ben said what CO claimed about Erika/TP, she said she really didn't know CO, and what was going on was none of her business. Next day called Ben a liar. Now they are close, for the "PAST FEW MONTHS". Bullshit!", declared a netizen.
"You have to be thankful for Megyn since she was born without a backbone and therefore you can tell which way the wind is blowing by the direction in which she bends.", commented another.

What more did Megyn Kelly say about Erika Kirk and Candace Owens on her Sirius XM radio show?

During her Sirius XM radio show, Megyn Kelly also shared,

"To the hateful people whom I used to call friends who have been all over the internet trying to shame me and say that no one should ever listen to this program again because I have not spoken out on the Erika and Candace conflict: I don't have any pearls of wisdom other than go f**k yourselves. Go f**k yourselves."

Megyn Kelly continued,

"You have no f**king clue what is going on. You don't know what I do behind the scenes, and your world is so myopically online you fail to understand there are real humans involved here. Actually being able to touch grass and have relationships with them, which is something I am doing, could prove to actually benefit all involved. Maybe it won't. Maybe it won't at all, but it's at least got a shot. I am not sure your Twitter shame game has gotten anything of value done."

Shedding some light on Candace Owens and Erika Kirk's latest "private" meeting, Megyn Kelly mentioned,

"Many of my viewers have been wondering why I haven't said anything, given my previous statements about Erika. And the reason is that I have been working behind the scenes to try to foster a détente between them. Erika called me weeks ago and asked me if I would be part of a sit-down with them, which originally they had contemplated might be for consumption by the public, might air in some way, shape, or form, and asked if I would facilitate that meeting between the two of them. And I said yes immediately. Of course I would.
"I reached out to Candace. She said, “Absolutely, I’m thrilled it’s you. I am in.” And the two of them took it from there, trying to negotiate the specifics of what they’d both be comfortable with: where, when, et cetera. And eventually it changed after they hit some roadblocks. Again, that’s for someone else to tell you about if they so choose."

Megyn Kelly also added,

"I understand my core audience knows who I am and would never have assumed the worst about me, that I was just abandoning Erika or getting ready to pounce on Candace and insert myself into this on one side. I’m not getting ready to do that, and I don't want that. I don’t think that’s God’s role for me here. I really fully believe God's role for me here is to possibly play a role in getting this whole thing to a better place. I think I might be in a position to help construct that. Maybe, maybe not. But sitting here in my studio in Connecticut, just slinging mud at one side or the other, or tearing people down, or expressing my disgust, my outrage? Pointless here.
"My goal and my job here, I think, is to try to understand, yes, where Candace is coming from on this. I know you’re not supposed to say that. You’re supposed to just immediately condemn her. But I love the Turning Point guys, and I don’t believe for one second any of them had anything to do with Charlie’s murder."

Megyn Kelly concluded, saying,

"Not for one second do I believe that. People who care about Candace and love Erika have been in a tough position as this whole thing has escalated, and care about Turning Point, which I deeply do, and I will make sure that their legacy is not destroyed. And I will do everything within my power to help them thrive, including supporting my own kids in forming a Turning Point chapter and going out to AmFest and helping headline that event and encouraging everyone I know within the conservative movement to go and support them and to donate."

As of now, neither Candace Owens nor Erika Kirk has responded to Megyn Kelly's claims.
