Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly called for a boycott of pop star Taylor Swift after the singer attended a fundraiser for Gaza.
Swift attended a Friday show by comedian Ramy Youssef in Brooklyn, New York, according to the New York Post.
In a November Instagram post, Youssef stated that 100 percent of the proceeds from the show would be “donated to [American Near East Refugee Aid], providing humanitarian relief to the people of Gaza.”
Kelly lambasted the “Bad Blood” singer for attending the show on Tuesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
Kelly noted that NGO Monitor has described ANERA as “highly political” and “presenting a highly biased view of the [Israel-Hamas] conflict, ignoring any Palestinian responsibility for hardship and contributing to the demonization of Israel.”
“That is the group Taylor Swift thought it might be fun to help raise money for,” Kelly said.
“She owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology, and I hope they boycott her events until she issues it,” the host continued. “Because attending this thing was wrong. It was wrong.”
Kelly pointed out that Swift has been outspoken in her support of the “LGBTQ community.”
“You know what they do to that community in Gaza, Taylor?” Kelly asked. “They’ll throw them off the top of a building — that’s what you’re contributing to.”
She also noted that Swift has tried to portray herself as a “warrior for women.”
“You know what they do to women? You know what Hamas likes to do to women? You think we have equal rights over there, Taylor? That’s what you’re supporting at your little fundraiser for Gaza.”
