They slapped a clickbait headline on a clip and called it news: Megyn Kelly “inviting all illegals” to Minnesota. Nothing could be further from the truth — Kelly has spent the last few weeks ripping Democrats and radical activists for cheering on lawlessness and for turning Minnesota into a testing ground for their open-borders fantasies. The real story isn’t Megan Kelly inviting chaos; it’s that the left invited it and then tried to gaslight the country when the predictable result exploded in the streets.
The tragedy that lit this fuse was no abstract policy debate — a federal ICE operation in south Minneapolis ended with a woman shot and killed, and the city erupted. Video and eyewitness accounts sparked furious disagreement over what happened and whether federal agents were provoked or reckless, and the community and nation watched as the situation spiraled into protests and counteraccusations. That breakdown of public safety is the direct consequence of leaders who prefer virtue-signaling to enforcing the law.
Megyn Kelly didn’t call for more open borders; she did the hard thing — she vetted the footage, sided with enforcing the rule of law, and demanded accountability from people who cheer when federal enforcement is obstructed. On her program she tore into anti-ICE agitators who stormed a church, applauded federal arrests of those who disrupted worship, and blasted politicians who reflexively defend mobs over the rule of law. Her point is simple and patriotic: you cannot celebrate obstruction of law enforcement and then cry foul when enforcement happens.
Meanwhile Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey played a predictable double game, publicly denouncing federal action one minute and then acting surprised when their cities burst into chaos the next. Elected officials who tell federal agents to “get out” and then complain about the consequences are not victims — they are architects of failure, and Minnesotans are paying the price. The country should not normalize leaders who undermine law enforcement because it suits their political image.
Even federal oversight is now on the table, because this mess didn’t happen in a vacuum: DOJ and other federal authorities are scrutinizing local behavior, and sensible voters are finally asking whether sanctuary-style policies and cheerleading for agitators are worth the blood, property damage, and terrorized neighborhoods. The left’s experiment in lax enforcement has predictably produced waves of chaos and suffering, and the time for platitudes is over. If you undermine the rule of law, don’t expect sympathy when the bill comes due.
Conservatives should be crystal clear about what we want: secure borders, sanction-free law enforcement, and cities that defend citizens instead of pandering to mobs. This is not cruelty; it is patriotism — the first duty of government is to keep people safe and to protect institutions like churches, schools, and neighborhoods from being turned into political battlegrounds by ideologues. Americans of every background want order, fairness, and accountability — not chaos disguised as compassion.
So let the clickbait channels scream that Megyn Kelly “invited illegals.” The truth is the opposite: she challenged the nonsense that got us here and demanded that those responsible be made to answer for it. Patriots should stand with law enforcement, demand real border security, and never let the media or the left rewrite the story to excuse their own failures.
