Megyn Kelly jokes Candace Owens should be Harvard’s next president
NY Post
Megyn Kelly quipped that TV frenemy Candace Owens should be Harvard’s next president following calls for Harvard to replace ousted president Claudine Gay with another black woman.
Gay, Harvard’s first black president, resigned Tuesday following months of pressure over her handling of antisemitism on the Ivy League campus following the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre in Israel and recent revelations that she plagiarized passages of her doctoral dissertation in 1997.
Her exit prompted charges from some quarters that racial animus was the motivating factor behind the movement to see her removed from her post.
Marc Lamont Hill, a left-leaning author, wrote on X, “the next president of Harvard University MUST be a Black woman.”
Kelly, the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM, jabbed back that Owens, a conservative black pundit who supported Donald Trump, “should be back from maternity leave in a couple months.”
The Post has sought comment from Owens.
