SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly asked Tuesday on her show whether MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow would face any repercussions for her rant against the network’s cuts, stating that Maddow had rubbed her bosses’ faces “in shit” during her call-out.

MSNBC’s former 7 p.m. host Joy Reid saw her show canceled Sunday morning, with plans to replace it with rotating anchors over the coming weeks. While fellow pundits expressed their disappointment over Reid’s removal, Maddow — whose show airs at 9 p.m. — spent part of her monologue not only praising Reid but also calling it a “bad mistake” for MSNBC to cut her. Maddow said that the cuts primarily affected “non-white hosts in primetime.”
“She really is one of the most annoying people on television,” Kelly said after playing Maddow’s monologue. “She oozes sanctimony and self-righteousness. Here’s the real capper. She took her boss’s faces and rubbed them in shit last night,” Kelly said.
“That’s what she did. The guy who oversees, she’s got two bosses now, right?” Kelly asked.
Kelly went on to name Maddow’s producer Rebecca Kutler and prospective Chief Executive Officer of SpinCo Mark Lazarus, who oversees the two, asking why they hadn’t fired Maddow over her rant.
“Well, Rebecca and Mark, do you have any spines whatsoever? Are you actually going to let an employee, that’s what she is, Rachel Maddow, talk about you, your company and your decision making this way?” Kelly asked. “Mr. Lazarus, do you have any testosterone? Do you have any testicular fortitude to stand up for yourself as a professional and executive, never mind a man, and tell this woman, ‘You’re fired too.’”
“‘You’re fired for insubordination and for disparaging the network publicly. In front of our four viewers, we’re very upset about what they must now think.’ Why don’t you? If one of my employees ever did this to me, let’s say, we started MK Network and we have MK employees who go from being my producers to going out there and offering commentary,” Kelly said.
Following the announcement of Reid’s canceled show, MSNBC implemented another wave of cuts, letting go of shows hosted by left-wing anchors Katie Phang and Jonathan Capehart.
“It’s happened in many places. And they did this? I would fire them so fast, and I would not be — you couldn’t get me to back down with claims of, ‘Oh, you’re, you’re viewpoint discrimination, you’re cracking down on free speech.’ No, you work for me!” Kelly added.
Prior to giving her final show Monday evening on the network, the former MSNBC host was seen crying in her reaction video to the announcement. Reid, known for her race-focused rants and far-left talking points, said she was not “sorry” for “standing up” for the statements she made on her previous show.
