Megyn Kelly calls out Joe Biden for his eulogy
Political commentator and journalist Megyn Kelly recently called out Joe Biden over his eulogy speech at Jesse Jackson’s funeral.
During the latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly criticized Biden and former US President Barack Obama for making political comments in their eulogies. She stated, “All these dictionaries show up at his funeral, and reportedly they were asked not to get political, given the way that Jesse Jackson was in life, please don’t get political. Well, they couldn’t contain themselves.”
Moreover, taking a jab at Biden’s speech and old age, Kelly added, “He had been asked not to do this by the family of the deceased, and yet… No one can understand a word you’re saying, sir. Go back to your basement and your pudding.”
In his speech, shared by CBS, Biden asserted, “The Jackson family, I know we’re celebrating a life lost. Having lost a wife and daughter and son, it’s called out of the blue, it’s not easy, no matter how much you love them, no matter how close you were. You know, Jesse came up, and I came up together as leaders in the Democratic Party. We had very different backgrounds, in some cases even different views, but never on race. Sometimes we went toe to toe. We disagreed on some issues, but that’s what I actually admired most about Jesse: his passion. He was passionate. His passion, the courage of his convictions. You know, his courage inspired a hell of a lot of us, even though we were the same age.”
