Megyn Kelly built her reputation through her prominent career at Fox, and these days, The Megyn Kelly Show and her bold takes continue to draw attention. Recently, another bold take from the journalist made headlines, as she said that Erika Kirk should step away from Turning Point USA.
Megyn Kelly wants Erika Kirk to leave her current leadership role at Turning Point USA
Recently, the 55-year-old appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube on Thursday, September 10, 2026, during which Megyn Kelly said that she wants Erika Kirk to leave her current leadership role at Turning Point USA.
Kelly said, “I personally would like to see her take some personal time just so she can remove herself from the nonstop battering ram that is heading up a political organization in the United States of America, and allow herself a year to just work on healing.”
“Helping her kids heal and herself heal. I don’t know what she’s going to do, but that’s my prayer for her.” She added.
As we know, it has been one year since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. In this context, the journalist wants Erika Kirk to reevaluate her position at her husband’s nonprofit organization, Turning Point USA.
Megyn Kelly also criticized the situation and explained that the main reason all of this has happened is that the 37-year-old is a CEO and remains in the public eye.
“But I think part of the reason this is happening is because Erika stayed in the public eye as the CEO of Turning Point, and therefore, in some ways, criticism of her is fair game.” Kelly said.
Talking about Turning Point USA, it is a nonprofit organization whose main goal is to promote conservative ideology, free-market principles, and limited government among students at American high schools, colleges, and university campuses. Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery founded the organization in 2012. Kirk died after someone shot him in September 2025, and his wife, Erika Kirk, then took over as the organization’s CEO and continues to lead it.
