Conservative podcaster Megyn Kelly is not pleased with The New York Times “fawning” profile of former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s separation.
As previously reported, the Times published a gentle piece this week announcing a split of sorts between de Blasio and his lesbian wife, Chirlane McCray. According to Kelly, the piece should have been much more critical given as de Blasio is responsible for having “ruined New York.”
“I lived in New York for this guy’s entire term as mayor, and he ruined New York. We could go down the list of a number of ways in which he ruined New York,” she said on the Friday edition of her weekday podcast.
Listen:
“One of the main ways was he created these weird incentives that allowed the huge mega stores to prosper – like the big CVS chains and Starbucks chains and Citi Bank chains to prosper – [while] edging out the mom and pop shops that made New York, New York,” she continued.
“You know, the corner delis, the corner pharmacies owned by the guy whose name you know, and the streets of New York changed dramatically as a result,” Kelly added.
But she wasn’t done.
“And then the homelessness, the drugs, and ultimately the defunding of the police and the demoralization police, which changed the streets of New York,” she said before taking a sharp knife to the Times.
“So you would think that even the New York Times, which fully understands what he did to Manhattan – and the five boroughs entirely – would be a little skeptical of giving this guy a fawning profile. But that’s what they did,” she noted.
Ouch.
During Friday’s edition of her podcast, Kelly also tore into the so-called “relationship” between de Blasio and McCray.
In the piece, it was revealed that the two would remain married and would even continue living with one another — all as they date other people. To hear de Blasio tell it, THIS is the definition of “a love story.”

Kelly staunchly disagreed.
“It’s not a love story. It is nothing that I recognize as love. If you marry someone, and you have a troubled marriage or you decide after all your years together, you don’t want to be with them – I do believe in divorce, I’ve had one,” she said.
“I don’t believe in desecrating the institution of marriage by staying in it. And so calling yourself married and calling it a ‘love story’ while you invite another man into your bed, in your marital home as you walk past the pictures of you and your family on the way to your bedroom, that’s not normal, and I’m not going to support it,” she added.
The outspoken conservative also offered a tip to de Blasio and other men like him.
“Don’t marry a lesbian if you’re a man, okay?” she said.
She added that she’s 100 percent certain this separated-but-living-together idea will fail.
“They say that they’re gonna stay together. But they just don’t need to possess each other. This is going to fail. I’m on record. This will fail. They will wind up divorced. This is not sustainable,” she said.
Social media users — the few who care, that is — for their part seemed to be in agreement with everything Kelly said:
They are trash people. It makes sense though, because New York is a dump.

They’ve been making a mockery of marriage, since the beginning!

You’re not wrong Megan, he’s worthless. But New York was ruined long before DeBlasio stepped in.

As for the Times piece, in it, the duo claimed they made the decision to separate during a heart-to-heart at home approximately two months ago. They spoke with one another about why they were not “lovey-dovey anymore.” But the stress fractures in the marriage reportedly appeared years ago during De Blasio’s failed 2020 run for the White House.
“I thought it was a distraction,” McCray said of her husband’s candidacy.
McCray bluntly stated that she only stood by her husband because the presidential run was “not the kind of thing where you can break ranks … That’s part of the difficulty of being part of a package.”
De Blasio conceded that his wife’s description of his political aspirations was “kind of true.”
“Point for Chirlane,” he said.
De Blasio reportedly also blamed his eight years as mayor for his failing marriage.
“Everything was this overwhelming schedule, this sort of series of tasks. And that kind of took away a little bit of our soul,” he complained.
