A YouTube clip of a transgender heckler claiming to be a rabbi demanding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas had Megyn Kelly laughing Thursday.
The heckler interrupted President Joe Biden during a speech at a fundraising event Wednesday in Minnesota identifying as a rabbi and said he wanted the president to “call for a cease-fire” immediately. The president responded by saying he wanted a pause in fighting “to get the prisoners out” of Gaza. (RELATED: ‘Headed For A Global War’: Glenn Beck Says ‘Miracle’ Needed For US To Avoid WWIII)
Megyn Kelly picked up the story and found it funny.
“Jessica is a man pretending to be a woman, and I don’t know if she is pretending to be a rabbi, too,” Kelly said during “The Megyn Kelly Show.” She later laughed and said, “She is a bearded lady Reconstructionist rabbi.”
