Megyn Kelly's Embrace Of 'Tampon Tim' Insult Backfires Badly
HuffPost
"Imagine being upset that someone didn’t want kids leaking menstrual blood onto their clothes," one OB-GYN wrote in response to the former Fox News host.
Megyn Kelly seemed to channel her Gretchen Wieners on Wednesday ― except instead of trying to make “fetch” happen, she tried to turn “Tampon Tim” into a trending term.
The appellation for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) is meant to be an insulting reference to his decision last year to sign a bill requiring schools in the state to provide free menstrual products in all public school bathrooms.
The bill allows for the feminine hygiene products to be placed in boys’ bathrooms as well as girls’ ― something that conservatives are hoping they can weaponize against Walz, whom Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen as her running mate in the 2024 election.
On X, formerly Twitter, Kelly approvingly responded to a post that described “Tampon Tim” as “Kamala’s dead weight.”
“Tampon Tim is the name,” Kelly wrote to her 3-million-something followers. “That’s it.”
