Megyn Kelly slams CNN and Juliette Kayyem for downplaying bombing: FBI targeted by left-wing media
In yet another display of ideological bias masquerading as analysis, Megyn Kelly publicly called out Juliette Kayyem, CNN’s public safety analyst and former Obama-era DHS official, for her outrageous statements downplaying the FBI’s response after a firebomb attack in Denver. The target of the attack was a peaceful rally supporting Israel and the American hostages still held by Hamas. Instead of joining the call for justice, Kayyem criticized the FBI’s early response, calling it “juvenile” and claiming we don’t really know the motive—despite visual and audio evidence that clearly point to an antisemitic hate crime.
What’s most disturbing is not just what she said, but that she said it on CNN—a platform that increasingly normalizes hostility toward Israel while displaying infinite patience for left-wing violence. In Kelly’s words: “You’re a partisan idiot.” And it’s not an exaggeration. While Kayyem tried to undermine the FBI agents who raised early alarms, countless Americans could clearly see and hear what really happened: chants of “death to Zionists,” “murderers,” and other radical Islamist slogans. What part of that needs “more context”? Does CNN truly believe an ideological pundit’s doubts outweigh hard facts captured on video?
This isn’t just about a difference of opinion. What’s at stake is the institutional credibility of the FBI and the leftist elite’s readiness to discredit any narrative that doesn’t fit their worldview. If the attack had targeted a NAACP rally or another group favored by the left, CNN and Kayyem would’ve demanded immediate answers, wall-to-wall coverage, and probably a presidential address. But because it was a pro-Israel event, we get the typical deflection: “let’s wait for more facts,” “don’t politicize this,” “don’t jump to conclusions.” What they really mean is: “Don’t support a side we politically oppose.”
Kayyem’s commentary shows not only a complete lack of professional judgment, but also exposes the double standards deeply embedded in the corporate media. Since when is questioning hate crime victims considered acceptable analysis in so-called reputable news outlets? CNN’s moral cowardice in this case is an insult to the victims and a warning sign that progressive media will bend the truth to protect their political allies.
This was an attack on a peaceful, longstanding rally demanding the release of hostages. There was no provocation, no violence from the rallygoers, no reason for doubt. What we did see was pure hate, street-level terrorism, and media complicity. As Kelly rightly pointed out, this wasn’t “juvenile”—it was calculated, cowardly, and complicit.
While the FBI does its job to warn the public about real threats, voices like Kayyem’s undermine the credibility of law enforcement simply because they dislike what’s being exposed. And that’s the real threat. Not the FBI’s tweets—but the left’s deliberate disinformation campaign, dressed up as expert commentary.
