Journalist Megyn Kelly and host Bill Maher sparred over potential reactions to the 2024 election results on Real Time with Bill Maher. When Maher raised the topic of Trump potentially disputing an election loss, Kelly countered, suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris and her supporters could also deny the results if she loses. “Well, don’t think there won’t be denialism if Kamala Harris loses too,” rebuked Kelly. Maher fired back with his usual rhetoric against the former president, “It won’t be the same.”

Kelly came back swinging though, asserting that groundwork was already being laid for “lawfare,” a lengthy legal challenge following Election Day. She then pointed that Hillary Clinton was “the original election denier,” citing past grievances about the 2016 election, which Maher argued differed from Trump’s attempts to overturn results.

“You‘re allowed to file legal challenges in response to an election, which is what Trump did, and he lost, and he did wind up leaving office,” Kelly pointed out. “I‘m not going to defend his behavior on Jan. 6. I never have, and I‘m not going to start tonight. But if you don‘t think there‘s going to be denialism on the Dem side, you haven‘t been paying attention to what‘s been happening on that side for these years.”

Kelly, who backs Trump’s 2024 candidacy, expressed that her support stems from issues such as border security and concerns about transgender surgeries for minors, calling this nearly her “single issue.” Recent polling shows a tight race, with Harris and Trump tied, reflecting the polarized environment as the election nears. In Pennsylvania, a key battleground, Senator John Fetterman remarked that Trump’s popularity has been buoyed by endorsements from high-profile figures like Elon Musk, whom he described as a “bigger star” than Trump.

Kelly did an explosive post-mortem of her interview with Maher, and it’s safe to say that if her interaction with him was a debate, she won big time.

Even a blind person can see that left-wing militants are wrought with double standards on election challenges. Election integrity isn’t just a right-wing issue, and legal challenges are a legitimate part of the democratic process, regardless of party affiliation. Let’s just hope that this election is a landslide in Trump’s favor so Democrats can’t deny the truth. But knowing them, they probably will anyway.
