Megyn Kelly Slams Obama in SiriusXM Monologue
*Barack Obama lives rent free in Megyn Kelly‘s head. We know this, because once again, the conservative commentator used #44 to ignite controversy on yesterday (09-13-25).
During a fiery segment on “The Megyn Kelly Show” via SiriusXM, she called the 2-term former President a “slick snake” and accused him of sparking division in America.
Kelly claimed Obama “injected race” unnecessarily into politics and argued that his presidency directly led to Donald Trump’s rise. She framed Trump as the “antidote” to Obama’s so-called divisiveness, tying her remarks to ongoing discussions of Trump’s 2024 reelection.
Full Excerpt of Megyn Kelly’s Obama Comments
The clip, widely shared online, captured Kelly’s sharpest lines: “We haven’t felt like ourselves since Obama. He was such a slick snake… He was so divisive in his messaging… He’s the one who started to inject race when no one had been doing it… Obama is the reason Trump came about. They say ‘Trump is divisive’. He’s the antidote, the answer to the divisiveness of Obama.”

Kelly has made similar claims before, including in a 2016 NPR interview where she linked Trump’s appeal to frustration with Obama-era policies. Her latest rant revived a long-standing conservative narrative about race and identity in U.S. politics.
Polarized Public Reaction on X
The segment quickly went viral, with the clip amassing nearly 30,000 likes and almost 3,000 reposts within hours. But the response was overwhelmingly critical of Kelly’s framing.
Critics accused her of racist undertones and revisionist history. Supporters, though fewer in number, amplified her comments in MAGA circles.

Examples of Strong Criticism
Several posts blasted Kelly for ignoring the role of Trump’s own rhetoric in dividing Americans. Journalist @JohnJHarwood wrote: “Obama’s presidency made racists lose their minds.” His post earned over 17,000 likes.
User @SER1897 added: “Megyn Kelly’s rant about Obama is just disconnected from reality… they gave this supervillain refusal to let go of their rage.”
Others, like @bonnierocks2, called Kelly out directly: “Racist b***h!”
Supportive and Satirical Responses
A small number of users praised Kelly’s comments, reposting the clip with hashtags like #MAGA. One user wrote that Obama “revealed” hidden biases, while others tied her rant to broader conservative events.
Satirical posts also gained traction. @Dragkonias joked: “Republicans actually do tell the truth… Obama definitely was the last straw for them.” Another account translated the remarks into Spanish, highlighting global mockery of U.S. political discourse.
Wider Media Reactions and Historical Context
Liberal outlets like PolitiZoom mocked Kelly’s remarks as “hilarious revisionism.” They argued Obama’s presidency symbolized progress, not division. Conservative responses were more muted, with some defending Kelly by recalling her past feud with Trump in 2015.
Political analysts note that Kelly’s comments reflect a deeper conservative grievance. Books like “Strangers in Their Own Land” by Arlie Hochschild have documented how Obama-era shifts fueled the Tea Party and Trump’s movement. But critics counter that Trump’s birther conspiracy against Obama was the real driver of racial division.
Additional Fan Reactions Highlight Exhaustion
Users beyond the political sphere voiced frustration with conservatives’ continued obsession with Obama nearly a decade after his presidency. Some highlighted more pressing current events, pointing out the irony of rehashing old grievances.
“White people’s insane obsession with black people needs to be studied. They could easily move to the whitest place on earth and still find a way to include black people in their conversations.”
“What exactly did Obama say that was divisive? That one time when he said that Trayvon Martin could have been him. Which is the truth. Trump came about only because racist pos like Megyn Kelly hated a black person becoming president that’s it.”
“WOW, the Obama’s left the White House nearly a decade ago and they still can’t stop talking about them. Mind you, we’re currently on the brink of a nasty recession and WW3 and they still can’t stop talking about black people.”
Why This Story Matters in 2025
Megyn Kelly’s rant illustrates how Obama-era grievances remain central to conservative identity politics, even after Trump’s return to the White House. For critics, her comments highlight the persistence of racial resentment. For supporters, they affirm a belief that Trump’s populism was a necessary response.
The viral backlash shows how Obama’s legacy continues to shape political debates nearly a decade after his presidency ended. Kelly’s comments may have been aimed at energizing her conservative base, but they also reignited a cultural divide that remains deeply entrenched in America.
