Megyn Kelly took shots at Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin following the U.S. military action in Iran. Shapiro is now firing back.
After service members were killed by an Iranian drone strike, Kelly argued that other conservative commentators lobbied for the war with the Middle Eastern nation.
“No one should have to die for a foreign country,” Kelly said. “I don’t think those service members died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or for Israel … “Mark Levin wanted it. It’s his war. Ben Shapiro, Lindsey Graham, Miriam Adelson, that’s obvious,” Kelly continued.
On Tuesday, Ben Shapiro shot back at Kelly during his Daily Wire podcast.
“First of all, the ugly suggestion that Mark Levin is somehow a traitor to the United States, that it’s Israel’s war and Mark Levin wanted it because it’s Israel’s war, or I want it or Lindsey Graham or Miriam Adelson? Really disgusting stuff from Megyn Kelly, but predictable at this point,” said Shapiro.
“You know whose war this is? President Donald J. Trump’s war. He’s the president of the United States. He commands the United States military. She is such a coward,” Shapiro said. “She is such an unbelievable coward. You don’t like President Trump? You don’t like what he’s saying? Just say his name, you coward, you unbelievable coward. Tucker and Megyn both, unbelievable cowardice. Say his name!”
The comments from Ben Shapiro continue a war of words between him and Megyn Kelly that originally started during his appearance at a Turning Point USA event in December 2025, where he stated that Kelly has a “moral obligation” to call out comments made by Candace Owens. He used similar sentiments — calling it “cowardice” — which Kelly did not respond kindly to.
