Megyn Kelly<\/a> likened Democrat Ilhan Omar<\/a> yelling at the President during the State of the Union address to a now-infamous award show outburst by a Tourette’s Syndrome campaigner as she slammed the ‘foul-mouthed’ lawmaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former Fox host said she was shocked by Omar’s noisy display on Tuesday night and compared it to activist John Davidson involuntarily shouting the N-word at black actors at the\u00a0BAFTAs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Omar and fellow Democrat<\/a> Rashida Tlaib screamed at Donald Trump<\/a> after\u00a0he shamed Democrats for not standing up for protecting American citizens before illegal aliens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘Incapable of controlling her foul mouth,’ Kelly said of Omar. ‘She should be censured. She should absolutely face discipline in the house as a result of this.’<\/p>\n

At one point, Omar and\u00a0Tlaib<\/a>\u00a0hollered in tandem, calling Trump a ‘liar’ and claiming that he had American blood on his hands.<\/p>\n

Their jibes were drowned out by the President’s Republican majority, who took to their feet and started chanting: ‘USA, USA.’<\/p>\n

‘She never stopped heckling him,’ said Kelly. ‘Truly it was, it was like the guy at the BAFTAs. Yelling “F*** you. Go f***yourself” at every turn and some worse things than that. That’s her. She looked at it and thought, #Goals.’<\/p>\n

Kelly’s comments came as a CNN poll revealed that 64 percent of viewers responded positively to the speech.<\/p>\n

\"Megyn <\/p>\n

Megyn Kelly said she was reminded of a\u00a0Tourette’s activist’s outburst at the BAFTAs after woke Representative Ilhan Omar\u2019s meltdown during the State of the Union address on Tuesday<\/p>\n

\"Omar <\/p>\n

Omar was irate, screaming throughout the President’s address on Tuesday, which Kelly believes the representative should be censured for<\/p>\n

Kelly was among those who praised Trump’s address, which was the longest in American history, clocking in at just under one hour and 48 minutes.<\/p>\n

Kelly went on to note that the President delivered his address in ‘vintage Trump fashion’ and highlighted the White House for choosing great people to honor throughout the speech.<\/p>\n

‘I mean, amazing people were highlighted, hats off to the White House team for choosing truly incredible folks like our war heroes, Olympic champions, of course, the guys did show up from the hockey team, and our friend Charlie Kirk,’ said the show host.<\/p>\n

‘He acknowledged the grief and the pain of those who have suffered losses from the Democrats’ radical policies on crime and the border, that was smart and honest, and the speech appeared to be a big success.’<\/p>\n

The President also hit out at Omar and Tlaib in a blistering rant on Truth Social.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized,’ he wrote.<\/p>\n

The address took place just days after Davidson unwittingly caused a huge backlash after verbally accosting actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo during the glitzy awards show in London.<\/p>\n

The campaigner was invited to the ceremony because a film about his life and struggles with Tourette’s was up for a gong.<\/p>\n

\"Tourette's <\/p>\n

Tourette’s activist John Davidson was heard yelling the N-word during a presentation by black actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTAs on Sunday\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Omar <\/p>\n

Omar was seated next to\u00a0Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib, on her left, who yelled in tandem at the President, calling him a ‘liar’ but were drown out multiple times by ‘USA’ chants<\/p>\n

Davidson, 54, was diagnosed with Tourette’s in his childhood, when little was known about the condition, and has since dedicated his life to raising awareness.<\/p>\n

His presence at the ceremony has provoked criticism as he was accused of racism and the BBC was also condemned.<\/p>\n

He was heard to yell the N-word while Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage to present the first award at London’s Royal Festival Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The outburst was audible on BBC1’s initial broadcast of the show, before later being removed<\/p>\n

Jordan and Lindo, stars of the movie Sinners, did not react on stage but host Alan Cumming later said, ‘We apologise if it has caused offense.’<\/p>\n

Davidson decided to leave the ceremony halfway through after a series of outbursts.<\/p>\n

He also later issued a statement saying he was ‘mortified’ if anyone was offended but explaining that it is a symptom of his condition.<\/p>\n

Davidson is no stranger to controversy – after previously shouting ‘f*** the Queen’ at the late Elizabeth II and prompting a bomb scare at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Megyn Kelly likened Democrat Ilhan Omar yelling at the President during the State of the Union address to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,15284,98,4515,88,102519,36596,3,224727],"class_list":{"0":"post-491887","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-cnn","10":"tag-dailymail","11":"tag-democrats","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-ilhan-omar","14":"tag-megyn-kelly","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-rashida-tlaib"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
