Megyn Kelly has gone after Michelle Obama for criticizing the US, saying the former First Lady 'has everything she has because of us.'
Kelly, 53, made the passionate comments in the last episode of her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, as she discussed Obama's speech at Kamala Harris' campaign rally Saturday in Michigan.
'I’m so sick and tired of Michelle Obama whining about how racist and sexist America is,' an annoyed Kelly said. 'We made her rich, famous and beloved beyond any measure.'
The former NBC star added: 'Everything she has is due to this country — her Martha’s Vineyard estate, her Chicago estate, her Washington, D.C., estate, her Hawaii estate and her trips on the David Geffen yacht.
'I am sick and tired of her complaining about us. It’s like Oprah. Just shut up! All of your gifts are due to us. All we want to hear you say is thank you. That’s it. That’s what we want to hear you say. Stop ripping on the country.'

Obama hit the campaign trail for VP Harris for the first time on Saturday and called for a ‘grown up in the White House’ as she blasted undecided voters, specially men.
‘Why on earth is this race even close?’ the former first lady asked at another point as the crowd went wild.
Her appearance in Kalamazoo, Michigan comes as polls show the presidential race in a dead heat with just days to go before the election, with Harris particularly struggling with male voters.
The former first lady described the assault on abortion rights as the harbinger of dangerous limitations on healthcare for women. Some men may be tempted to vote for Trump because of their anger at the slow pace of progress, Obama said, but 'your rage does not exist in a vacuum.'
Obama said she lays awake at night wonder ‘what in the world is going on?'
She said Harris has demonstrated she is ready but asked: ‘as a country, are we ready for this moment?’

Halfway through her speech, the former first lady took an extremely somber note when she pleaded for men not to leave women’s lives in the hands of politicians when it comes to reproductive health care with the overturning of Roe v Wade.
'To the men who love us, let me just try to paint a picture of what it will feel like if America, the wealthiest nation on earth, keeps revoking basic care from its women and how it will affect ever single woman in your life,' Obama said.
'Your girlfriend could be the one in legal jeopardy if she needs a pill from out of state or overseas or if she has to travel across state lines because the local clinic closed up. Your wife or mother could be the ones at higher risk of dying from undiagnosed cervical cancer because they have no access to regular gynecological care,' she said.
'Your daughter could be the one too terrified to call the doctor if she's bleeding during an unexpected pregnancy. Your niece could be the one miscarrying in her bathtub after the hospital turned her away,' she went on.
She told men before casting their votes to ask themselves what side of history do they want to be on - and urged those fed up not to sit out the election because women will become collateral damage.
Obama also beseeched women to demand the men in their lives do better by them and remember ‘we are more than just baby-making vessels.’
