Megyn Kelly criticized the Democratic Socialists of America, calling their platform to abolish several U.S. institutions "true lunacy" during a recent interview [1].
The comments highlight a deepening divide over the role of socialist policy in U.S. governance and the stability of foundational federal structures.
Speaking with Sky News Australia host Paul Murray, Kelly focused on the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and their specific policy goals [1]. She said that the organization's objectives extend beyond traditional socialism, describing them as "true radicals" [1].
Kelly specifically pointed to the DSA platform's goals regarding the elimination of the U.S. Senate and the Pentagon [1]. She said that removing the Pentagon would effectively eliminate the entire defense system [1].
Beyond military and legislative structures, Kelly identified the group's desire to abolish police and prisons as part of an extremist agenda [1]. She said the group is the "Democrat lunatic party" [1].
Kelly said that the DSA is so extreme that they are beyond socialists [1]. She suggested that such a platform represents an "open season on America" by attempting to dismantle core institutions [1].
Throughout the discussion, Kelly said that these proposals would fundamentally alter the operation of the U.S. government [1].
“"This DSA, Democratic Socialists of America, they’re so crazy they’re beyond socialists"”
This critique reflects the ongoing ideological tension between traditional American institutionalism and the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America. By framing the DSA's goals as an existential threat to the U.S. defense and legislative systems, Kelly is positioning the debate not as a policy disagreement, but as a conflict between stability and radical systemic dismantling.
