Kari Winter Weighs In on Megyn Kelly’s Trump Remarks and MAGA’s Shifting Loyalties
Huff Post sought the expertise of Kari Winter, professor in the Department of Global Gender and Sexuality Studies, regarding a recent rant by conservative commentator Megyn Kelly.
Prof. Kari Winter, professor in the Department of Global Gender and Sexuality Studies, was recently quoted in HuffPost on conservative commentator Megyn Kelly’s remarks about President Trump’s “darker demons.” The article examines how some prominent MAGA-aligned figures have begun criticizing Trump while also acknowledging that they overlooked serious concerns about his behavior and character.
Prof. Winter offered a critical perspective on the long-standing support Trump has received, noting that many Americans have been troubled by how deeply his followers embraced him despite his history of dishonesty, misogyny, racism, and narcissism. She also cautioned that recent criticism from figures like Kelly and Tucker Carlson should not be viewed too optimistically, arguing that their shifts may be less about genuine accountability and more about positioning themselves for a post-Trump political landscape.
