WASHINGTON — This feud is getting nuts.
The conservative-podcast wars took an even nastier turn over the weekend when pundit Megyn Kelly fired a below-the-belt comeback at radio host Mark Levin for calling her “evil” and “diabolical.”
Kelly had first shared an X post from lefty Drop Site News co-founder Ryan Grim that noted the terror suspect behind last week’s synagogue bombing in Michigan lost his nephew and niece in a recent Israeli strike.
Levin called Kelly “evil” and “diabolical” for even sharing Grim’s post.
Kelly retorted on X to Levin, “I’m sorry you have a micro penis but don’t drag the rest of us into your drama.”
Levin and Kelly had been sniping at each other for months in an increasingly toxic spat largely fueled by a larger rift among conservative podcasters over Israel, Iran, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
Kelly has been a critic of the US and Israeli war in Iran and refused pressure to denounce likeminded conservative pal Carlson or Owens.
Levin has meanwhile been a staunch supporter of Israel and raged against Carlson and Owens.
“Poor Megyn Kelly. An emotionally unhinged, lewd, and petulant wreck,” Levin wrote Sunday. “She’s completely revealed and destroyed herself.
“She’s everything people say she is, but much worse. Never an intelligent, thoughtful, or substantive comment. Utterly toxic.”
Levin currently has a show on Fox News, and Kelly also used to be a primetime anchor at the cable news giant before she publicly clashed with then-President-elect Donald Trump, among other things, and left for NBC.
The “Megyn Kelly Show” podcaster re-upped her lewd jab at Levin on Sunday and compared him to stalkers she’s dealt with in the past, suggesting he was even worse.
“Micropenis Mark thinks he has the monopoly on lewd,” she wrote on X.
“He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I’ve had arrested. He doesn’t like it when women like me fight back. Bc of his micropenis.”
Then late last year, Shapiro, who has been beefing with Carlson, called her out by name during TurningPointUSA’s America Fest for not denouncing Owens, who has been spewing baseless conspiracy theories about Erika Kirk being involved with her late husband’s murder.
Carlson also has become infamous for his controversial softball interview with white supremacist troll Nick Fuentes last year.
But Kelly declared that she would “rather die” than cave to the pressure from the Levin and Shapiro flank.
She and others have accused Shapiro of directing broadsides at them because of their skepticism about Israel’s actions.
Shapiro has contended his beef with Kelly primarily comes from her refusal to denounce Owens for spreading bogus claims about Erika being involved with her husband’s assassination.
The war in Iran has poured fuel on the rhetorical scrum in the conservative podcast sphere. Further bickering took place on all sides over the weekend when Carlson claimed that the CIA read his text messages with Iranian officials and fretted that he could face foreign agent charges.
“If they come for Tucker, we ride at dawn. Really nothing else to say here. We’re not doing the gulags 2.0 with these Bolshevik descendants,” Owens declared.
