Once again, a conservative news host was forced to be the voice of reason and decency when Megyn Kelly bashed Chrissy Teigen’s “non-existent dress” at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Kelly used her wit to dismantle the gaudy dress that Teigan wore at the WHCD, cracking jokes at the expense of the Hollywood star, who clearly did not know about the appropriate attire for the event, describing the ridiculousness of the
As you can hear in the video, Kelly, commenting on the dress, said, “Here she is with John Legend her husband. She has, by my count, three minions following her – that’s minions in her view – following her, holding the dress or the train of her non-existent dress.”
Then, noting why it is so “I can see underwear, okay? I can see London, I see France, I see Chrissy’s underpants, which nobody shows underpants at the White House correspondents’ dinner. Okay, Chrissy? They just don’t do it. And nobody shows up with serfs to carry their train which there shouldn’t be on your White House correspondents’ dinner dress anyway, because it’s barely a formal event.”
“The elitism, the serfs behind her, the self-importance, the aggrandizement of this fake, stupid event It just tells you everything you need to know…It’s an absolute humiliation that she tried that hard for the White House correspondents’ dinner. She should be embarrassed.”
Twitter users were also quick to pile on the jokes at the expense of Teigen. One Twitter user quipped that “Chrissy Teigen forgot part of her dress tonight for the White House Correspondents dinner.” Another user, Collin Rugg of Trending Politics, said: “Far-left model Chrissy Teigen walking to the White House correspondents dinner with her servants trailing behind her to hold her dress. This is what peak liberalism looks like.”
Glenn Greenwald Tweeted that the dress “reminds me of that COVID-era video of a huge team of masked servants getting AOC ready for the Met Gala by working on her hair, nails, feet, and dress while she and her boyfriend lounged around unmasked.”
Of course, for neither of these women will there be any regret. They got themselves into the news and that was the plan from the word “go.” But, even if just for a brief moment, they reminded the world just how out of touch America’s liberal elites really are.
Teigen’s husband, John Legend, attacked Kelly for her comments about the dress, telling TMZ in his comments on the matter that “Megyn, she likes attention. She needs it after getting fired from Fox, so she has to do what she can do to get attention.”
Continuing, Legend argued that Kelly wants attention because she angered conservatives with her attack on Trump during the infamous debate she helped moderate, saying, “She pissed all the conservatives off when she asked Trump a tough question, so now she’s trying to figure out a way to win them back. She’s desperate.”
