Megyn KellyHost of The Megyn Kelly Show, speaking on her show

Condemned

On her show, Kelly shows a screen grab of the number of posts Loomer made on X over the previous 48 hours, calls her a mentally unstable and deeply disturbed person, welcomes her decision to step back from her show and tells her to get help.

“Look at this. This is clearly a mentally unstable person. Use your eyes. You don't need me to tell you. Look at this. This is obviously a deeply disturbed person. And in the wake of this, she pulled her show. Great. Good. Step away from the microphone, touch grass and get yourself the help you obviously so deeply need.”

Where this statement fits

Laura Loomer says "America is over" after the 2026 midterm elections; Megan Basham and Marjorie Taylor Greene push back

On the night of the November 3, 2026 midterm elections, as results showed Democrats winning control of Congress, Laura Loomer wrote on X that America is over. She wrote that communists and jihadists would open the borders and replace Americans' votes with votes from people in the country illegally, and that the American Dream is dead. Minutes later she answered a post by the conservative commentator Lisa Boothe saying God is in charge by asking why God let the country be taken over by Muslims and communists. The next day she asked Christian nationalists where their God was on election night, and she later wrote that she really believes America is over. Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham replied that her children will inherit the American way of life and urged people to avoid those who say America is over. The actress Carrie Coon disputed Loomer's claim about votes by people in the country illegally, and the Catholic philosopher Edward Feser suggested that the losses might be a punishment for elevating people like Loomer. The journalist Lara Logan agreed with Loomer. Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Harrison H. Smith, a host on the Alex Jones Network, blamed Loomer for the Republican losses, and Loomer accused Greene of working to help Democrats win. Later that week, Loomer announced a hiatus from her livestreamed show, Loomer Unleashed, and said the break is about her upcoming wedding.

Before the quotation

Kelly opens the segment by saying that Loomer is giving up her show, which she welcomes, and calls her a lunatic. Early on November 6, Loomer had announced a hiatus from her livestreamed show, Loomer Unleashed.

After the quotation

Kelly then shows Mark Levin's posts, saying his are not much better, and says that people like them are spiraling because they recognize how problematic they are, whether or not they say so.

How this statement is classified

Condemned

The label describes this statement's response within the context above.

Why this label?

The reference point is Laura Loomer's response to the November 3, 2026 midterm results: her posts saying that America is over and attributing the Republican losses to a takeover by communists and jihadists. Kelly does not argue with the substance of the claim, but she treats the volume of Loomer's posts since the election as evidence of a deeply disturbed person and welcomes her stepping away, which is a direct criticism of the posting under scrutiny rather than a dispute over how it is described.
