Megyn Kelly to Chris Wallace: You have chosen ... poorly.

“Who is the moron at CNN who actually thought, ‘you know what we need with our ratings in the toilet?’ More of us. We need more CNN. I do love all of the jokes about how while Elon [Musk] is offering to buy Twitter for tens of billions, there are lots of people out there right now who are willing to buy CNN+ for tens of dollars,” Buck Sexton, who used to be a CNN contributor, said of the streaming service.

Then the topic of CNN+ hiring former “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace was mentioned and Kelly tore into him.

“He was in last place every week, every year, every month. He was always in last, and they still paid him,” she said. Then she said when she was at Fox News she received an offer from Zucker and CNN.

“I considered going to CNN. CNN made me a huge offer. Huge,” she said. She did eventually land at NBC.

“I said no, Buck, because I knew: who is my fanbase going to be over there? I knew who my fans were and I knew that my Fox viewers were not going to follow me to CNN and that the CNN viewers were going to hate my guts,” she said, and she said she believes that Wallace is “suffering from that very problem right now.”

[To be fair, Kelly didn’t have a very good experience at NBC either. Of course, Kelly had other reasons for leaving Fox, as has been well documented since. She has landed on Sirius-XM now, and that platform seems to suit her better, as well as her audience. — Ed]
