Megyn Kelly attacked USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour and told her to “shut the fuck up” on Monday after Armour expressed support for transgender women to be able to compete in women’s sports.
Kelly singled out Armour on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show after Armour called South Carolina Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley a “goddamn national treasure” for supporting transgender basketball players.
“There’s this columnist over at USA Today, sports, Nancy Armour, who’s a repeat violator of women’s rights,” said Kelly, adding:
You’re a goddamn national disgrace, Madam, because you have a pen in a very large newspaper, dwindling though by the day, and you too could stand up for women but you’re too cowardly to do it. And you know why? You’re not a mother. You don’t have to worry about your daughter having to face some six-foot-four man out on the basketball court like I do. So I don’t want to hear from you.
Kelly continued:
Nancy Armour’s bio, she calls herself a proud aunt of three boys – she doesn’t even have nieces – and she says, “I don’t have all the answers, but I’m always looking for more of them.” I’ve got one for you, Nancy. Shut the fuck up until you know what you’re talking about, because girls are getting hurt by male basketball players posing as girls. I take you out to Massachusetts, where Lowell was playing in a game, the Lowell school was playing in a game, and they had to call it at the half because three players got hurt. Look at this girl in the black shirt go down. That’s a man pretending to be a girl who took the ball from her. Look at her. You watch this, Nancy, Dawn! You two watch this! Look at her writhing in pain after she was injured by a boy pretending to be a girl.
She concluded, “I’m so sick of these women who are so terrified of the woke mob.”
After the South Carolina Gamecocks defeated North Carolina State on Friday, Staley was asked whether transgender women should be able to compete in women’s sports.
“If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play,” replied Staley. “That’s my opinion.”
