Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host, delivered a stern message to Republicans after their party suffered significant defeats on Election Day.
Following key Democrat victories in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, Kelly criticized Republicans on her SiriusXM show for lacking a winning strategy without Donald Trump.
"Republicans don't know how to win without Donald Trump."
She expressed frustration over the party's response to a Politico report about a leaked Young Republicans group chat containing racist messages, noting it distracted from election results.
"The Republican party needs to get its s**t together ASAP."
Kelly sarcastically commented on the party's priorities:
"I'm really glad that the Republicans devoted so much time to that. Way to stick together and to really shine a light on what matters."
Kelly accused Republicans of embracing defeat and relying too heavily on Trump's presence to secure victories.
"The Republicans like to lose. They enjoy when they are embattled and in a losing position and complaining. Especially when Donald Trump is not there to get them over the line."
She called for a stronger and more competent post-Trump strategy, urging the party to stop hiding behind the former president's influence.
Kelly emphasized the urgent need for Republicans to unite and develop a clear path forward to avoid repeated losses and regain their competitive edge.
"They enjoy losing."
