'Try smiling': Megyn Kelly launches sharp — and personal — attack against CNN anchor

Right-wing talk radio host Megyn Kelly went after CNN correspondent and anchor Kaitlan Collins with personal invective on her SiriusXM show this week, using charged language to attack her character and personality.

Kelly was particularly riled by Collins defending her network's coverage on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" as "fair" and a network that "both sides can watch."

Kelly strongly disagreed with the notion.

“I will submit to the record, her biggest sin is not that she is biased, though she is. It’s that she’s boring. She’s extremely boring with no personality,” said Kelly on her show. “I have a pro tip for her: Smile. Try smiling. Try not to be in your delivery like such a cold-hearted b---- all the time, because it gives people nothing to bond to.”

A native of Alabama, Collins got her start in journalism working as a reporter for the far-right Daily Caller before moving to CNN, where she has become known as a hard-hitting correspondent and analyst who has frequently fact-checked allies of former President Donald Trump on the spot.

Kelly, an alum of Fox News who once demanded everyone accept that Jesus and Santa Claus are white, also previously hosted a show on NBC, but was fired from that role in 2018 after she opined that Blackface could be acceptable if it's part of a Halloween costume.

Since then, Kelly has not shied away from controversy-generating antics. Last month, she also came under fire for suggesting in a post on X that Vice President Kamala Harris built her political career by prostituting herself.

"She actually did sleep her way into and upwards in California politics and most women (and men) may learn that and see it for what it is: evidence of an unqualified political aspirant getting ahead based on something other than merit. It’s relevant, and fair game."
