Megyn Kelly Fumes Over Charlie Kirk Not Being Named Time's Person of the Year: 'A Thumb in the Eye' (The Wrap) [View all]
By Jacob Bryant
Megyn Kelly can’t believe Charlie Kirk was not named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.
On Thursday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host fumed over the fact that the 2025 Person of the Year was not even a single person at all – but rather the architects of AI. She railed against the decision not to posthumously award Kirk with the distinction following his assassination in September.
“It’s f–king AI. It’s AI architects,” Kelly said. “It’s not Charlie Kirk, which is so obvious – it’s as obvious as the nose on your face. And don’t tell me, detractors, ‘Oh, he was too controversial.’ That’s not it. They’ve gone for extremely controversial people and villains in the past. It’s always and often come down to people like Vladimir Putin, the Ayatollah. We’ve had very controversial people make it or almost make it. And not only did Charlie not get chosen, he wasn’t even one of the honorable mentions. Yeah, Putin won it in 2007.”
She added: “This is a thumb in the eye, and it’s genuinely wrong. Like, AI architects are not the most influential people of the year. To ignore what happened with Charlie Kirk in September and the worldwide revival of faith that followed his assassination is to ignore reality based on your own politics.”
