U.S. — Podcast host Megyn Kelly surprised listeners on Monday when, during an expletive-filled monologue, she claimed to have never heard of whatever a “Candace Owens” is.

Since the beginning of the preliminary hearing of Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, Kelly has argued repeatedly that she had no idea what a Candace Owens was, nor did she care to find out.

During her Monday show, Kelly said, “You know, people keep trying to bring up Candace, and that’s their right, but it’s also my right to tell them to [expletive] off because they have no idea — NO IDEA — what I know or don’t know behind the scenes. And let me just tell you, I don’t know a lot, okay?”

After being shown footage of herself talking about Candace Owens several times in the past, even defending her right to “ask questions” that promote baseless conspiracy theories and disparage Erika Kirk, Kelly asked fans to stop asking her about Candace Owens because she doesn’t even know what that is.

“Is Candace Owens a brand of face cream?” she asked. “If Candace Owens is a face cream, tell me more. Maybe they would sponsor my show.”

Kelly, who has gone from being among the most respected voices in conservative media to one of the most respected voices in Iran, later dismissed a video recording of her defending Candace Owens as an Israeli psyop.

At publishing time, after going on a long rant about Israel and the positives of Islam, Megyn Kelly told anyone who says she ever defended Candace Owens to “go [expletive] themselves.”
