Kelly, Carlson Condemn Trump, MAGA's 'Willful Blindness'

0:00It's April 24th. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. Megan Kelly, the right-wing commentator whose long-backed Donald Trump just admitted on her podcast that she's ignored his major flaws for years, like being petty, thin skin, and no saint in marriage. She still digs his humor and how he fights back against culture war stuff, but says he's no moral role model. This comes as Kelly and Tucker Carlson blast Trump over his push for war with Iran, alongside Israel. Trump fired back on true social, calling out his once loyal fans for not backing the fight. Earlier this week, Carlson even said he saw her for helping get Trump elected and feels haunted by it. Experts and humanities and American studies call this willful blindness from MAGA folks who overlook Trump's lies, misogyny, and narcissism from day. One, they say supporters normalize bad behavior and now own his rise, but leaders should compromise and reach beyond their base, not just gripe.

1:02Professors like Dave Paxarma and Kari Winter, question if this flip is real regret or just strategy, maybe ditching Trump now that he served purposes. Like stacking the Supreme Court or killing Roe v Wade, they see it as risky to keep tying themselves to him amid his slips. These shifts spotlight how media hype fueled the mess, but true democratic healing needs more than slick apologies from influencers. As folks wake up to the damage, the real test is holding everyone accountable to rebuild trust.
