Megyn Kelly lashed out at fellow podcaster Kara Swisher, accusing her of potentially inciting violence against top White House adviser Stephen Miller by comparing him to a Nazi war criminal.
“This is SICK. She’s trying to get @StephenM killed,” the host of SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” wrote on her X account on Tuesday.
“Why else would you say he’s Himmler? Deranged and so far beyond the pale. We can’t become immune to it.”
Kelly was responding to a video clip showing the left-leaning Swisher likening Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, to Heinrich Himmler, the notorious leader of the SS under German dictator Adolf Hitler.
“People like Stephen Miller will go down in history as evil, have blood on his hands, and should be jailed at the very end of this,” Swisher recently said on the “Pivot” podcast, blaming Miller for the fatal shooting of two anti-ICE American protesters in Minneapolis in recent weeks.
Himmler is considered the architect of the Holocaust, which wiped out most of European Jewry. Miller is of Jewish ancestry.
Swisher also compared Miller to Karl Bendetsen, the 1940s-era US Army officer who was instrumental in planning the mass removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during the Second World War.
Miller, one of the most polarizing figures in the Trump administration because of his central role in shaping and defending its hardline immigration agenda, has drawn criticism for his comments in the wake of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.
He initially described Pretti as a would-be “assassin,” a characterization that was later contradicted by video footage of the incident.
Days later, Miller softened his stance, saying the agents involved “may not have been following” protocol.
The Post has sought comment from Swisher and the White House.
